You probably don't really need to do this, as Heimdal comes with an afslog that should work fine -- although, I don't know if it supports the -setpag flag to set a PAG for the parent process. Unfortunately, doing PAM properly requires either that or linking with the AFS libraries.
No it doesn't. All it needs is a relatively simple library which provides a way to check for the presence of AFS and to make AFS system calls, particularly setpag and pioctl.
Conveniently, heimdal comes with such a library; it's called libkafs and includes functions like k_hasafs(), k_pioctl(), k_unlog(), and k_setpag(). IIRC, Derrick used to distribute a standalone version of this library for people not using Heimdal, but it's probably pretty stale by now.
Linking with the AFS libraries will be easier in the 1.4.1 release since there will then be a shared library that contains only the lsetpag() function, at which point my intention is to significantly overhaul the way that PAGs and aklog are handled in Debian.
Ugh. lsetpag() is not really intended to be a public interface. The public interface provided by AFS is called setpag().
Also, I'd suggest that instead of a shared library containing only lsetpag, it might be better to provide a library containing the functions I named above, with the same API that the KTH folks have been distributing for years.
