[OpenAFS-devel] aklog on MacOS X was Re: Service Ticket > Questions

[hays@ibiblio.org]

FWIW, I've taken Ragnar's code and kind suggestions, cut it to ribbons, and 
built a version that just runs a script when you authenticate against 
kerberos. I do not pretend that it's pretty or good, and I'm not a 
programmer, but it works on my machine.

The plugin calls an external script, and in my case all the script does is 
run aklog (we're still a k4 only cell).

This is really just a kind of test case/proof of concept--I've been 
thinking that a plugin that calls a script might be a reasonable way to go 
because it can be used for other functions than just getting tokens and 
increases flexibility for those of us who'd rather not leave the realms of 
shell scripts. I'm sure that there are lots of reasons to not do it this 
way....

I'm still finishing up disclaimers and acknowledgements, but if anyone 
would like to play with it, just send me an email. I'll post a link once 
I'm happier with the documentation.
