I just compiled openafs in Slackware 13, but needless to say, it didn't work because PAM is missing. I got this error:

Clients credentials have been revoked while getting initial credentials

Is anyone using openafs in slackware? My guess is that at a bare minimum, all need to install PAM first. Right?

I haven't built openafs, however if it's written in C and configured using a configure file like most C software is for Linux, you could run:

shell$ ./configure --help

and it should show you a list of all the options, optional packages, dependencies, etc., that are wanted or needed by openafs. A good configure file will tell you what's optional, what's essential, and what will or won't work regarding each option.

Hope this helps some, before you go building/installing PAM only to find that some other things would also be handy.

Got it working. here's how:

CFLAGS='-I/usr/kerberos/include' ./configure --with-krb5 KRB5CFLAGS="-I/usr/kerberos/include" KRB5LIBS="-L/usr/kerberos/lib -lcrypto -lkrb5"

make && make install

create/copy/symlink the following files into existence:

/usr/local/etc/openafs/cache
/usr/local/etc/openafs/ThisCell
/usr/local/etc/openafs/CellServDB
/usr/local/etc/openafs/C -> /usr/local/sbin/afsd
/usr/local/etc/openafs/cacheinfo
/usr/local/etc/openafs/afsd -> /usr/local/sbin/afsd

add '/usr/kerberos/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf

ldconfig

insmod /usr/local/lib/openafs/libafs-2.6.29.6.ko

afsd
aklog

Here's an afs startup script modified for slackware:
