So, fixing this particular bug in krb5-rsh-server is almost certainly
relatively easy. Fixing krb5-rsh-server to use PAM directly is more
involved; it should be done, but there is not a lot of resources going
into krb5-rsh-server and krb5-clients at the moment. Upstream split
these into the krb5-appl package in significant part to provide a lower
level of support for these packages.

The code in question is in bsd/login.c in the krb5-appl
package. Particularly, look at the read_env_vars_from_file function.
I don't have time right now to generate a patch or test it, but I wanted
to document where to look because I did have that time.
