I was thinking the same thing, since we use the latest Transarc client 
code on the Alphas at work.  There's a lot I need to learn about the 
various flavors of authentication.

Some observations:

- I use the arla client under Tru64 v5.0 on my PC64 Alpha at home.  On 
that system, only the arla 'kalog' utility will successfully authenticate 
to the OpenAFS server (running on x86 Linux.)  The 'kauth' program built 
as part of the krb4-kth package does not work.

- When the same machine is booted into Linux, it runs the OpenAFS client 
built from CVS (circa 1/13/2002.)  Here, only the krb4-kth 'kauth' works 
correctly!  Per my posting yesterday, the OpenAFS 'klog' fails with a 
message of "..incorrect password."

Strange.
