Translations:OpenAFS/175/en

To use AFS you need to authenticate against the KA Server if using an implementation AFS Kerberos 4, or against a Kerberos 5 KDC if using MIT, Heimdal, or ShiShi Kerberos 5. However in order to login to a machine you will also need a user account, this can be local in, NIS, LDAP (OpenLDAP), or a Hesiod database. PAM allows Gentoo to tie the authentication against AFS and login to the user account.
