A side question is can AFS use some other authentication

Not yet. This is one of the things rxgk is supposed to address; we can
then use any GSSAPI-provided service. (The Globus stuff included a
minimal GSSAPI support mechanism with a number of shortcomings, IIRC.)
The GSS-API is not super-great about non-blocking operation.
The architecture of an auto-authentication daemon doing downcalls into
userspace for use with rxgk might be quite different from one for use with
rxkad. I wonder which one would be a better use of Andrew's (or
whomever's) time.
