Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2007-07-25 14:55:53 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #231137 +++

We see several unsuccessful attempts for AFS service tickets on our KDC per
login, and are trying to reduce these. Our AFS tickets are of the form
"afs" (i.e. no AFS cell as the instance).

The patch adds a new private option "nullafs" that tells pam_krb5 to not bother
looking for fully-instantiated tickets of the form afs/cell@REALM, and instead
use  afs@REALM directly (otherwise it would fall back to these anyway).
Likewise, afs5log gets an option "-n" that does the same thing.

The attached patch is against 2.2.8-1 (since that is what we use currently), I
can reflow this gainst some different version if this increases the likelihood
of being applied.
