All I did was take the existing 1.3.85 source and package it in a way that
is useful for RHEL4. If you are not running RHEL4 or if you don't want to
use RPMs, that I suggest you obtain the generic source code from openafs.org
and ignore my packages.

My packages use a different naming convention for the kernel module than the
standard OpenAFS source. This is so that modules for all the different
variants of the Red Hat kernel can be simultaneously packaged in a
consistent way.

Look at the .spec file to see which patches are applied to which sources.
For the most part I am not trying to add any patches besides what's needed
for things to build and work properly on RHEL4.

(this is offtopic for my RPMs) You should try building aklog in the 
openafs source tree, not from the afs-krb5 source tree. Does that work?

I don't understand what you mean. aklog is now part of the openafs source. 
The rest of afs-krb5 (asetkey, fakeka, ka-forwarder, keyfile_dump) is not 
part of openafs, and so I still build those things separately.

I.e. how do you get a token for cell "bigcell" at domain some.domain.com in
realm SOME.DOMAIN.COM?

That's a bugfix patch which fixes a crash in aklog on 64-bit machines. The 
aklog in the openafs source tree already has this fix applied.
