Hello,

Recent Linux kernel (> 2.6.9 ?)  have support for storing keys and tokens in
the kernel memory space. See linux/Documentation/keys.txt.

I believe this is the work of David Howells whom I assume is also on the
present mailing list.

I was wondering if this could somehow be used by the OpenAFS afs client for
storing AFS tokens ?

I have a substantially complete patch for this which was stymied by lack of export of certain symbols. Rather than pursue it, my understanding iss someone is working on a kerberos 5 ticket file backend using keyring. My hope is to use that when complete directly (for now, anyway, since we can, there being a single ticket for any cell for afs)
