Compiling arla on OSX 10.1

I'm trying to summarize my findings of the last few days as well as 
summarize some of the traffic here in same time span. Please jump in and 
correct me...

Our site uses krb5 for authentication (ftp and ssh) and one must run an 
aklog to receive afs tokens. This suggest to me that the afs server is 
seeking krb4 tickets/tokens. If the aklog (/usr/arla/bin/aklog) in the 
OSX 10.1 .pkg build is built with the config parameters below, then it 
will be looking for kerberos (krb4) tickets somewhere in /usr/athena/. 
If I have used KfM to obtain my tickets then the aklog in the build will 
not work.

So Sandy said it clearly on 16 October - it just took  me this long to 
figure it out. For Arla to work in OSX 10.1 (with krb5 tickets to afs 
tokens) I need: KfM, krbafs linked to KfM and an Arla that we can build 
against those authentication protocols.

I am still working away at this but it seems that I need that krbafs 
from Alexendra and mit. The aklog download offered at 
http://web.mit.edu/openafs/ (thanks Aaron) is written for Openafs. 
Perhaps someone on the list can provide some advice on how to hack it 
for Arla.


Best regards,
