Rather then having to modify ssh to swap the order of the
calls to pam_setcred and pam_open_session, you could look at
using one of the pam_afs module that will get the token and PAG
during the pam_setcred. For example the pam_openafs_session.so
module can be called from "auth" and it will get the token
during pam_setcred.


pam_openafs_session.so relies on aklog -setpag, which is what sparked this
whole discussion.  That functionality appears to have broken with the
latest kernels and the latest OpenAFS.  I had one report that it started
working again after reverting the kernel module to 1.4.2-fc3 and one
report that that didn't help.

-setpag is, as Jeff points out, living on borrowed time.  It may be
possible to fix this; I don't know the Linux kernel internals well enough
to tell you.  However, the best solution is to switch to a PAM module that
creates a PAG through a direct system call during open_session or setcred.

OK, that is what pam_afs2.so does. It basicly uses the proc_afs_syscall
from sys/glue.c:

rval = proc_afs_syscall(AFSCALL_SETPAG,0,0,0,0,&ret);

glue.c or glue.o could be included/linked in.

Or go one step up, to lsetpag.c that calls the proc_afs_syscall
on Linux.
