Hello Martin!
What you need is PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module),
a layer between the application (in your case *dm) and the
underlying authentication system.
Depending on the authentication[0] required, you use the
suitable module. PAM modules reside under /lib/security,
there's no kerberos module included in the libpam-modules
package but I'm sure you can find one (tip: search in freshmeat.net)
For how to configure applications for authentication methods,
consult the files under /etc/pam.d
Further info can be found in pam.d man page and pam-doc package
(apt-get install pam-doc)
[0] PAM can also be used for authorization and/or accounting
