AFS kerberos just means that the AFS kaserver is acting as your kerberos
database. the client API and the transport mechanisms are all the same as
say, MIT kerberos. the only real difference (in the client libraries,
that is...) lies in the DES string_to_key function, which unfortunately
makes "standard" kerberos clients incompatible. compiling with AFS
kerberos libs (or the KTH distribution) makes this problem go away.
