I have been using the MIT version of AFS for Linux (2.0.x) with Tobias
Schaefer's pam_linux_afs module for authentication + tokens. This invokes
the klog command to do the authentication and the whole package works fine
Recently, I've installed arla (0.25) and kth-krb (0.9.9) and would like to
get AFS tokens automatically. I tried specifying
klog_program /usr/athena/bin/kauth
to pam_linux_afs (i.e., the kth-krb kauth program). However this bombs
because pam_linux_afs tries to invoke it as
/usr/athena/bin/kauth karney -silent -pipe
with the -pipe indicating that the password is delivered via stdin. I
could hack together a script to run kauth via expect, but I wonder if
anyone has a neater solution.
