That's correct.

For instance, my color prompt is shown as a long list of escape  
characters and the bash history doesn't work. The problem is solved  
simply by executing "bash". The question is why this doesn't happen  
automatically when I log in. The UNIX accounts don't have this problem.

In some cases, I don't end up in my home directory either when I log  
in, although I can navigate to it and still have R/W access there. In  
these cases $HOME contains e.g. "/jwinius" instead of  
"/afs/umrk.nl/user/j/jw/jwinius".

No, I receive a token; that's not the problem.

I already have a Kerberos ticket as well, just as "ldapwhoami" works,  
and "pwd" usually shows that I am in the correct AFS home directory.

It feels like I'm missing something basic here.
