pam_linux_afs doesn't share code with Transarcs PAM for Solaris. So both
are different in options and default behaviour.

With pam_linux_afs you can authenticate against one configurable cell.
But you could stack some calls to this module to (optionally) authenticate
against other cells (and obtain tokens from them).

Pam_linux_afs is written for the Linux PAM library. But it shouldn't be a
lot of work to compile it for Solaris. That has been done at the
University of Hohenheim for a former version of pam_linux_afs.

On the other hand it is possible to put those options into Transarcs PAM
if you have the source code for it.

Tobias
