[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Re: port-darwin digest, Vol 1 #81 - 1 msg

[bil]

We're using Alexei's plugin and David's binary (thanks guys), and are now 
trying to refine a general installation. One aspect we're looking into 
whether it's possible to renew an afs token when someone enters their 
password into the screen saver. Is it possible to prod aklog from the 
screen saver? Or does anyone else have any ideas on this issue?

tia,
bil
