Of course, the main question is how you want to handle the external krb5
dependency. I haven't looked at the windows build to see how that one is
being done.


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

Which (or both) versions would you distribute?

uh, what? there's only one configure.

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

Any krb5.conf conflicts?

with what?

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"

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.

and all those people who can't upgrade today? screw them, they get to cope.
