MIT K5. The passwords are stored only in the kerberos database.

It would be nice to have just kerberos passwords. I've done this with
ldap (sasl gssapi authentication via k5) and afs (tokens are released on
ticket releasing).

The main issue is the integrated windows login: a student must login,
gain tickets and token, and have his windows home dir set to what ldap
shows him: this means that afs must be enabled at boot.

How would you do this? I don't have any clues...
