| It would be nice to have just kerberos passwords. I've done this with
| ldap (sasl gssapi authentication via k5) and afs (tokens are released on
| ticket releasing).
|
| The main issue is the integrated windows login: a student must login,
| gain tickets and token, and have his windows home dir set to what ldap
| shows him: this means that afs must be enabled at boot.

I see a different solution here:
User authenticate to a Samba controled Domain, and because Samba has the
Kerberos password(=NTPassword hash) it could impersonate the user,
accting to the AFS/Coda cell on behalf of her/him. In this way Samba
could become a gateway between Windows clients and AFS/Coda servers.
Unfortunatelly I don't know how could be that implemented.
Cheers,
