It works well if you provide a password but if you just hit ENTER you 
end up in no-man's land waiting for something to happen. What is 
happening under the hood is kinit has also prompted but stdout/stderr is 
not being displayed.

So nack, we should catch that empty password and error out or re-prompt 
or something.
