Of course, the main question is how you want to handle the external krb5

being done.


I assume:
1) configure detects MIT or Heimdal (or none)

Which (or both) versions would you distribute?

2) static binary is built (which should thus work anywhere)

Any krb5.conf conflicts?

3) possibly a PAM module is provided, but then life gets harder


This is the easy part. An AFS pam module justs needs to get a PAG then fork/exec the aklog from (1) Passing KRB5CCNAME to it. It does not need any Kerberos code in it itself. See my note of 9/17/4 "[OpenAFS] The AFS + PAM + SSH Nightmare"

1) is really the hard step
i have patches for aklog to make it build against heimdal, though i never cleaned them up

Yes that is the hard part. I hate to bring this up after all the other e-mail, but if the implementation of rxgk is close, (which it appears based on the e-mails) and you did define its use with gssapi, then the aklog could be replaced with a gssapi verison and eliminate the (1) problem.

It would also allow the use of other Kerberos implementations, like SEAM.
