I was thinking about writing a patch for authconfig (a redhat tool) to
support AFS PAM, but the RH73 version wouldn't compile on my RH72 machine.
Perhaps when I get a cable connection for my machine, I'll upgrade.

Such a patch looks like it would be very easy.  It already supports krb5
PAM, so it shouldn't be too hard to modify the program to support AFS PAM
too (since the options would be similar, and there's no NSS to mess with
as with the LDAP or NIS options).
