There is no ruby on the node.. no interpreted languages at all cept sh.
I think this is the most expedient and smallest footprint way of achieving
this.. kinit is only 24kB, klist is 20kB.  My original intention was to
incorporate key management into libvirt-qpid, but after looking at what
was involved I figured this was easier and would work just fine. :)
