So, let me understand you _completely_.

When pam_xauth.so is in /etc/pam.d/su, and when you log in on the console:

- "tokens" shows AFS tokens _before_ you su.
- There is no delay for "su".
- "tokens" shows no AFS tokens _after_ you su.

When pam_xauth.so is in /etc/pam.d/su, and when you log in REMOTELY:

- "tokens" shows AFS tokens _before_ you su.
- There IS a delay for "su".
- "tokens" shows no AFS tokens _after_ you su.

Hmmm .... waitaminute.  When you log into the console, what is the value
of the XAUTHORITY environment variable?  Does it point to a file in your
AFS home directory, or somewhere else?
