[OpenAFS-devel] Document for authenticating against MIT K5/krb524d ?

[Harald Barth]

About startup and keys:

There should be more documentation how to start up from scratch and
the different steps involved and which keys you need where and why
(instead of just creating a bunch of keys and hoping for the best).

If you use Heimdal, the magic word to google for is AFSKEYFILE. That
will get you:

The problem is, that we all generate our initial AFS key setup once and
then forget how we did it.

About Heimdal vs MIT:

The Heimdal KDC is both v4 and v5 at the same time, so you won't need
any krb524d. Of course I'm biassed because I don't need to go far to
ask Johan everything about Heimdal. Hm. That does not mean I always
understand the answer :-)

Harald.
