Look for Ken Hornstein's (of NRL) afs-kerberos migration kit.  Latest
version is 2.0 I believe.  If you google for kerberos and afs and
hornstein you'll find it.  He's also authored a FAQ.  There are very
detailed instructions in that kit and the faq that (for the most part)
work perfectly.  For places where they don't work out of the box, search
the list archives of openafs-info and openafs-devel for postings by me
that Ken and others here resolved for me.  Also, you won't need Ken's
monster patch, and I think you only need two binaries from his migration
kit: aklog and asetkey.  The others may not build, so you'll have to
edit the Makefile and one .c file.  I'm pretty sure your other questions
will be resolved by that reading assignment.  There's alot to read and
learn and understand before you are likely to get it operational.  Don't
be surprised if you spend several days on it.  I did, but perhaps I'm a
bit slow.

HTH.
