Excerpts from mail: 9-Feb-94 PC Interconnection using AFS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2425)

>  Once you have the AFS token, we can then
close the telnet session.


Unfortunately, you've illuminated here the very security hole which
makes NFS/AFS translaror unfavorable:  under normal circumstances, you'd
expect tokens to die when a session closes.  Tokens not associated with
a Process Authentication Group can all too easily be stolen by
intruders, making multiuser distrubuted platforms, like a PC-to-AFS
server, unadvisable.
