I have up-to-date MIT Kerberos 5 libraries for CMS (callable from C, COBOL, 
Fortran and PL/1). I also have a PAM-like SVM for CMS that can get user and 
authorization information from any source that PAM supports. Would be pretty 
neat to support AD, NIS, etc for CMS logins...
Donations would probably help inspire me to write the rest of the CP interface 
component.

PS - Still doesn't solve the original poster's request, but it would be awfully 
helpful (IMHO, the Right Way) to solve the problem in this case.
