Yes, ak5log or gssklog. Note the -setpag, when it works, is nice
as this sets the PAG in the parent processes so makes it even easier
to get the OpenAFS dependiencs out of the caller.

Except this works only up exactly one level. The OpenSSH folks will inevitably end up calling this code from some process which is not in the inheritance chain for the user's shell, leaving us right where we are today with PAM. Even if they don't do it today, the restriction is obscure and will not be well known to people working on OpenSSH, so there is a good chance that it will be inadvertently broken later.


Worse, there is a good chance that whatever PAG mechanism we end up with on Linux 2.6 will not support setpag-in-parent at all. So it would be wise to avoid introducing new dependencies on it, especially in other people's code.
