Let me timidly add my PLEASE to the above. 

I have seen the discussions previously on the list, especially about LDAP, but 
it is cumbersome to have to create AFS user, Kerberos principal and LDAP 
entry.   It can be scripted of course, but it does make AFS adoption a 
slightly bigger hurdle than it already is. Something that reads AFS user info 
for use in NSS would go a long way and alleviate the need for LDAP (or local 
user creation).

Best regards,
