Mmm, Umich's kerberos UAM currently doesn't support AFP on TCP, so if
you were hoping to get snappy AFP on TCP performance, you can't
kerberize your afpd. This is actually caused by the AppleShare Client
on the Mac having a different interface for third-party UAMs.
Documentation for this interface was pretty slow about getting
available... I hear the UAM is being reworked to support new nifty
things like kerberized afpd's on TCP.
