[OpenAFS] elegant solution for user change?

[Jochen Thäder]

Hi,

A Problem is troubling me now for quiete a while, for which I don't  
have an elegant solution. ( using openafs and heimdal kerberos )

afs-user "worker" should change to afs-user "operator" (using a  
keyfile) into a clean shell without typing a passwd. The keyfile is  
only accessible for worker.

So I do something like this ( which works like expected )

export OP_K=`perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print encode_base64($_)' keyfile`
kpagsh
echo $OP_K | perl -MMIME::Base64 -ne 'print decode_base64($_)' > xfoo
kinit -t xfoo operator
ssh -X operator@`hostname`

When I exit from there, I have the same situation for worker as before  
( as I want )

Is there a nice way to put this into a script so that my worker user  
could use it. Or is there maybe a very simple solution to this, and  
I'm just to stupid and unexperienced to find it??

Thanks for help
    Jochen
