Package: libpam-heimdal
Version: 4.7-4
Severity: normal

The libpam-krb5 package has a couple issues when trying to configure
credential cache files:

1) The documentation claims you can set the credential cache filename in
krb5.conf, but this appears to be a lie.  If you don't give the pam ccache=
option, then it uses a hard coded string to form the cache filename,
disregarding any settings in krb5.conf.

2) Because /usr/share/pam-configs/krb5 is not a conffile, there's no way to
edit the pam settings without risking them getting clobbered on a package
update, other than by disabling the module in the system level config and
then adding it back in by hand, which is a bit of a pain in the tuchus.

Background: I want to change this so that cifs.upcall can find the user's
credential cache, which seems to require that to be in a predictable
location like pam_winbind creates (/tmp/krb5cc_UID).
