On kerberized systems using ksu will simplify privilege escalation. The requirements for ksu to work is that the calling user have a valid kerberos ticket, that the remote system supports GSSAPI authentication where the kerberos ticket is forwarded and that the target user have a .k5login file with the kerberos principal of the user calling ksu listed. With this in place, no password will be needed.
