does this mean that i have to have separate login programs for each
combination of authentication methods i have available to me?  with
passwd, kerb4, kerb5, s/key, otp-md4, otp-md5, otp-sha1, securid, and
ssh (hmm..how does ssh work itself into this?), that would be 255
different...

at least...that's the impression i got the last time i looked at the
