Ask Russ, but I think the prompt_principal might work with
auth_to_local. In any case, .k5login works, so use it.

If you wanted to continue to use the Red-Hat pam_krb5, this would
be an other option, as the user could then ssh joejohn...@host and
end up using the joe account. It has its restrictions as joejohnson
can only login to the joe account.

Interesting. I have not tested this. You may only want to
to use Russ's pam_krb5 on sshd, and leave the rest alone.
Try adding the j...@realm to the .k5login too.

Sounds like it is not needed if you have the .k5login I only used it
a long time ago, for mapping realms. Its tricky to set up too.
