This ends up to be a chicken and egg problem. I would love to have the funding to be able to pay someone f/t or p/t to help our department with development, but we don't have that kind of money. I could also propose to the higher-ups that we need a support contract for OpenAFS. But I need to show proof of concept before I get the funding. It seems to me that if there was an aklog easily available (read: no developer needed) that would work with ADS/MIT Kerberos setups, admins like myself would be able to promote the use of OpenAFS (read: buy support contract or hire developer) much more widely.
Additionally, I am more than willing to learn how to compile this code for our purposes. Any pointers? Thanks!
