Those are the libraries /lib/security/libpam_afs_session.so links to:

         linux-vdso.so.1 =>   (0x00007fffc01ff000)

         libpam.so.0 =>  /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x00007f04f81de000)

         libkrb5.so.3 =>  /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x00007f04f7f1c000)

         libc.so.6 =>  /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f04f7b98000)

         libdl.so.2 =>  /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f04f7994000)

         libcrypt.so.1 =>  /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f04f775b000)

         libk5crypto.so.3 =>  /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x00007f04f7534000)

         libcom_err.so.2 =>  /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00007f04f7330000)

         libkrb5support.so.0 =>  /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0x00007f04f7128000)

         libkeyutils.so.1 =>  /lib/libkeyutils.so.1 (0x00007f04f6f24000)

         libresolv.so.2 =>  /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x00007f04f6d0b000)

         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f04f8601000)

         libpthread.so.0 =>  /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f04f6aee000)


I see no libkopenafs and no libkafs, which I suppose means it's using 
its built-in kafs implementation. This pam_afs_session is just the one 
shipped with Ubuntu 10.10: libpam-afs-session 1.7-2.
