This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Kerberos obtains a network address for the local host from the routing
tables and uses it consistently for all Kerberos transactions. This ensures
that packets only leave the *authenticated* interface. Clients who open
and use their own sockets for encrypted or authenticated correspondance
to kerberos services should bind their sockets to the same address as that
used by kerberos. krb_get_local_addr() and krb_bind_local_addr() allow
clients to obtain the local address or bind a socket to the local address
used by Kerberos respectively.

Do it right this time and also explain this behaviour in the man
page. :)
Obtained from: bsm's work in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1
to su to root by authenticating as themselves (using a password or S/Key)
rather than by using the root password. This is useful in contexts like
ours, where a large group of people need root access to a set of machines.
(However, the security implications are such that this should not be
enabled by default.)
The code is conditionalized on WHEELSU.
properly. I know, tcsh is not a "Real Shell".
