Shame Apple won't enable the use of :

         pkinit_identities = PKCS11:Path_of_pkcs11_lib

for their Heimdahl Kerberos implementation.

If they did the then the pam_krb5 module could be added to 
/etc/pam.d/sudo.   I believe Heimdahl Kerberos supports it. I know the 
MIT Kerberos does.

Thanks for the information.

It also include a pkcs11 module for apps that don't use regular system keychain calls (Firefox primarily). THe only thing it does not include is the ability to use your CAC at the command line with sudo. I believe thursby has a special sudo that will authenticate with the CAC, but centrify unfortunately does not. Their solution is to add admin groups to the sudoers file so they don't have to enter a password for sudo.
