This is probably a FAQ already.

Upgraded a box to RHEL5 because a commercial application somebody
needs has been compiled for that only and there isn't a way to get
it to play with RHEL4.

If on the text console, all is well.  Through gdm, pam_afs lets the
user log in, generates PAG, but no token.  Can be sorted by manually
issuing klog afterwards, but is a little cumbersome.  Is there a way
to get this to work in the regular fashion any more?

Is pam_keyinit in the stack? In RHEL5, you'll probably be using keyring based PAGs, which require that the user's keyring not be reinitialised after they've been set up. The pam_keyinit module deletes any keys that may exist in the user's environment, so if it's run before pam_afs you lose.

There _may_ also be problems if pam_afs uses the 'change the PAG of my parent' feature of setpag. That's known not to work properly in recent Linux kernels - see

But, seriously, pam_afs? When are you going to stop hurting yourself?
