[OpenAFS] pam_afs_session in Fedora?

[omalleys@msu.edu]

I believe fedora fusion has the openafs implementation.
IIRC it is an issue with the license incompatibility...

You should be able to get it into the mainline fedora branch if you  
want to be the package maintainer since there won't be a licensing  
issue. :)
