There's a README file that was distributed with the afs 3.3a/sun4m_53
binary distribution that explains this. I've attached a copy below. I
assume that the same restrictions/limitations apply to solaris 2.4 and
solaris 2.5 as well.

AFS support for the remote commands is limited on Solaris 2.3 systems. The
rules for using remote commands is different on Solaris 2.3 systems than other
operating systems. You should pay special attention to the /etc/shadow file.
Our limitations are as follows:
- We do not provide an AFS version of rlogind. The reason for not providing
an AFS version of rlogind is that because of the Solaris 2.3 feature
of a "pluggable" authentication system (their use of libauth.a) we do not
have rights to use and redistribute this technology.
- Because of this authentication scheme in Solaris 2.3 you will always be
prompted for a password on remote commands.
- Since we port from BSD based commands we may not have gotten all of the
Solaris 2.3 features for remote commands.
