I don't know what the status of CDE vs VUE on HPUX 10 is, but some
implementations of CDE support PAM (or something similar like AIX).
Basically, PAM is an API defining how an UNIX OS utilize multiple
authentication methods.
If PAM is available, then it is simply a matter of preparing a dynamic
lib with the correct functions exported. I believe that Roland
Schemers from Sun was demoing PAM with AFS authentication, among other
things, at Decorum '96. (You can probably get sample source from him).
I believe he still follows this list.
Hope this helps,
