PAM/Kerberos requiring local accounts

I've tried dropping the account required line on both the php and httpd
files in /etc/pam.d, but that doesn't help.  I've also tried changing
common-auth so that the first line is
auth    sufficient      pam_krb5.so
but this doesn't work either.  I don't need any login information...(Mail
authentication works, for instance, even though it doesn't return login
information, but I'm not sure how secure it is)...I *just* need to know if
the username and password are valid on the domain specified in my krb5.conf
file.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
