The aklog.exe from the NRL/CMF krb5 distro works fine on Win98.  There's
on option on the Win98 client to disable kaserver authentication, which
folks at IBM added at my request (originally it wouldn't mount the
filesystem until you'd successfully done a kaserver authentication).

Wake is a Win2K/XP thing and is completely meaningless on Win9x/ME, as
they don't have built-in support for kerberos authentication.  Wake
combines ms2mit and aklog, to get an AFS token from a Microsoft-style krb5
TGT, but Win9x/ME doesn't support the Microsoft-style krb5 TGTs.

Best bet: download krb5-win32.exe from ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil.  It has a
krb5 client and a functional aklog.exe.  Install Win9x version of the
OpenAFS client, and be sure to start it with the appropriate command line
argument to disable kaserver authentication.  It should all just work.
