You need a program that can take your tickets and put them into the
kernel as tokens. The Heimdal kinit and afslog do that. Some PAM
modules can do that, too. I doubt if libkrbafs comes with that
functionality. Have you tested the RPMs available there:
http://www.stacken.kth.se/projekt/arla/fedora2.html You should be able
to use the Heimdal kinit or afslog from the Heimdal RPM "mixed" with
the stuff you allready have or the arla RPM. You will probably _not_
need the kdc, server and debuginfo stuff.
