These are hacks that might break any time - for both hash and username.
For the username, it's more of a hack - we're not actually extracting
the username field (since this would take more advanced parsing of the
file); we're instead extracting the likely username from another field
(some Kerberos related stuff, I think).
Yet I think it's reasonable for now. And we also need a more reliable
script/program, which would have extra dependencies (e.g. not just Perl,
but also CPAN modules). We can include both.
