The Debian packages very strongly push you towards a setup where you
are using AFS and Kerberos5.  I believe this is the correct setup for
new deployments of AFS and is the direction people should be heading
in.  It also happens to be the only setup I really have resources to
test.

I include kpasswd and klog because doing so is easy and because even
at krb5 sites you might want to klog to a Transarc-only cell.

I'd really rather see people use libpam-krb4 and a krb4 aklog than the
Openafs PAM module, but sadly that isn't packaged in Debian either.


If someone wants to look at the AFS PAM module built by the Debian
packages, make sure it works and make sure it meets the Debian PAM
policy, I would be interested in the results.  If everything is OK,
I'd be happy to create a libpam-openafs-kaserver package  and install
it.
