[rsbac] Linux public key authentication an PKI

Hello,

I'm not sure but maybe Kerberos can do that? It certainly uses single
sign-on for multiple network services. Might be restricted to using
password as shared secret for authentication with the Key Distribution
Center. Once you authenticate though, password isn't used again until
your Ticket-Granting Ticket expires.

Anyone else have ideas?

Kerberos is Linux independent btw.
