[krbdev.mit.edu #3035] Feature Request 2c for 1.5 (or whatever)

["Henry B. Hotz" via RT]

Absolutely I'm describing PAG's.

I'm just trying to specify what characteristics of PAG's I care about.   
Don't want to submit a request that says "include the OAFS kernel  
module in your distribution so you can store tickets in the kernel  
token store".  I know you guys would (rightly!) barf on that kind of  
request.  ;-)
