Then the login work.  When trying to log in a user authenticated by
krb5, the login fail.  At least some times. :) Restarting kdm make the
login work also for kerberos authenticated users.

This is not what would happen if the x-start-before header was added.
This is simply a question of ordering boot scripts, not about blocking
the possibility of logging in with non-kerberos users.
