I modified aix41_auth.c in the way that it authenticates to the cell
specified in /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell and then looks for a file
.afs_cells in the user's home directory. In this file are lines of the form

userid@cellname

which then are used to try to authenticate with the same password to 
these other cells. If the cellname starts with "dce" it does a "dlog" for 
that cell allowing to use the AFS/DFS translator, as well.
