Sure; Essentially by doing an AFS authentication if you have a one to one
mapping of AFS user to local user for a given machine the user has
obviously proven their identity already and doesn't need to be verified a
second time with a second password. This is more or less the same answer
as you get to the question "how do I use NIS with Kerberos?"
