Be very careful with this. Many operating systems deal badly with having
more than one user in /etc/passwd with UID 0. Besides, that shouldn't be
necessary in this case. If you attempt to log in as user foo, who has
both a local and AFS password, the login program will try both.
Naturally, you don't get authentication if you don't use the AFS password.
