Hi.  Would it be an idea to provide Kerberos authentication in
freedombox, and use remctl instead of exmachina for root execution?

The exmachina source seem to be fairly new and unproven, while remctl
is already used in production at Stanford, see
<URL: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/journal/2013-08/003.html > for a
blog post about this usage.  Kerberos have the advantage of never
sending the password over the net, and providing support for single
sign on for services that support it.
