What krb5 distribution were you using on Solaris 7?  I know it doesn't
come with one by default.  Solaris 8 does, however, include krb5
libraries.  The version included on Solaris 8 is not compatable with the
AFS migration kit.  The kit requires krb5-1.0.6, and the Solaris 8 ones
are based on krb5-1.1.x.

Also, after around OpenAFS version 1.2.0, I wasn't able to compile the
migration kit against the provided libraries and includes.  If you really
want to compile it yourself, I'd recommend getting the libraries and
includes from ... say ... OpenAFS-1.0.4.

I have complete binaries for many platforms (including sparc Solaris 8) of
the AFS/Krb5 migration kit available at:

Having spent last summer deploying OpenAFS/Krb5 to an entire campus
running Solaris 8, let me know when you get stuck with PAM.  I'll be happy
to help.
