I had some time today to work some more on fixing the way the OpenAFS PAM
modules are built for Debian, to try to localize the changes more and
minimize the Debian diff. That effort was mostly successful, but I ran
into a few oddities.
First, the libafsrpc and libafsauthent shared libraries weren't being
built with -fPIC on most Linux architectures. Bug #20781 has a patch that
I'll commit if it looks good to someone else as well.
Second, the PAM modules wouldn't work properly with the pthread libraries
(assertion error in rxkad/rxkad_common.c) because the rxkad
thread-specific data was being retrieved before it was initialized. I
tracked this down to ka_UserAuthenticateGeneral and friends never calling
rx_Init.
If, if it belongs in kauth, it should be in ka_Init, except that probably
secretly there are cases you don't want to call it either. It doesn't
belong in ka_UserAuthenticateGeneral.
Probably there should be more code in rx that makes sure you initialized
it, but that will get messy fast.
