=head1 NAME

Auth::Krb5Afs - get Krb5 and OpenAFS tokens

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Auth::Krb5Afs;
 my ($err, $pwent) = Auth::Krb5Afs->authenticate($user, $pass);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

invokes kinit and aklog to get Kerberos 5 and OpenAFS tickets

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item $auth = Auth::Krb5Afs->new();

Create a new instance.  You could also use
Auth::Krb5Afs->authenticate() without an instance variable.

=item ($err, $pwent) = $auth->authenticate($user, $pass);

invokes "kinit" and "aklog" to get krb5 and afs tokens.  By
default, the krb5 ticket is good for 20 minutes, renewable up to
10 hours.

If successful, sets the USER, HOME, and SHELL environment variables,
the current uid and gid, and chdirs to HOME.

In an array context, returns an array ref to the result from getpwuid($afs_uid).

In a scalar context, returns error strings in a hash like 
$err->{pass} = "unknown user or wrong password";

=back

=head1 TESTING

The bin/authkrb5afs program behaves like one of courier's authlib
modules.  It reads password etc from file descriptor 3, then invokes
the rest of its command line as the user.
