I'll try to provide a patch to the documentation.

(I am aware that OpenAFS is an open-source, volunteer-based project,
thus I was not "demanding" the update.)  :)

However on the same subject, is there a document describing how one
should configure Kerberos (from MIT) to work flawlessly with OpenAFS?
(I've tried searching for such a document, but found none, and
moreover even "plain" Kerberos deployment tutorials are very
scarce...)

I'll try to include this in that patch also.

Could you elaborate more on this?

Thanks,
