Hi Assar,

I've not experienced it myself but it has been reported to me for a dual
Pentium II with kernel 2.2.3 and SuSE 6.0 distribution. That was with
arla 0.22. I'm not quite sure about the version of KTH Kerberos. Most
likely 0.9.9.

The administrator of that machine even tried to get a PAG with the
pagsh-Program of Linux-AFS. (That is Derek Atkins' port of AFS 3.4 to
Linux 2.0.) No luck with that either. The token is always bound to the
user's UID.


Somewhat confused,
Tobias
