It tries to use the provided password only if it doesn't find an existing
set of credentials. It definitely works for me without a password after
kinit(ing). Perhaps your ticket cache or keytab is in a non-standard
place? This is the first and only time I've setup a kerberos server, so I
may have done something unusual on my end too, but I basically just did a
stock Debian install. Perhaps you need some additional options from here
in your login.conf to let it know things particular to your setup?
