FWIW, I've taken Ragnar's code and kind suggestions, cut it to ribbons, and built a version that just runs a script when you authenticate against kerberos. I do not pretend that it's pretty or good, and I'm not a programmer, but it works on my machine.

The plugin calls an external script, and in my case all the script does is run aklog (we're still a k4 only cell).

This is really just a kind of test case/proof of concept--I've been thinking that a plugin that calls a script might be a reasonable way to go because it can be used for other functions than just getting tokens and increases flexibility for those of us who'd rather not leave the realms of shell scripts. I'm sure that there are lots of reasons to not do it this way....

I'm still finishing up disclaimers and acknowledgements, but if anyone would like to play with it, just send me an email. I'll post a link once I'm happier with the documentation.

Anyway, I made a workaround in the afslog plugin, so now it (seems to)
work with OpenAFS and Arla on ppc and i386.

As far as I can tell, it works fine in 10.4.6 with LoginWindow,
the screensaver, Kerberos.app and kinit.

The current test version can be found here:
