When we moved from an NFS to an AFS environment, we created random
initial AFS passwords for our users, and made them readable for the
user. We had a modified login procedure that captured the user's
current password, read the user's initial AFS password, and used
kpasswd to set the user's password to whatever the user was using at
that time. A modified passwd program made sure to keep both passwords
in sync after that. If you could wait for a while (whatever your
password expiration time is), you could do everything from a modified
passwd command and you wouldn't even have to change your login
procedure.
