So, I was getting into trouble because aklog is not a long-running  
command? Anyway, the daemon in question doesn't understand Kerberos or  
AFS; I'm just trying to give an average daemon access to some files in  
AFS. I thought k5start and its -t option would suffice, but perhaps I  
wasn't using it properly. Any advice on that? If not, I suppose I can  
always just make a cron job to run aklog every once in a while, but I  
was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Thanks,
