Here's our current thinking on the procedure to create afpd's srvtab in
an AFS environment:
There is a utility which comes from Transarc called "kas". It will
let you create a principle. It needs to be something like
afp.choosername@realm. Set the password to anything, we'll change
it in a minute. There is another utility called "ksrvutil" which
comes with MIT Kerberos. It will generate srvtab files for you.
It will prompt you for a password; use a good one. If you give it
a -k option, ksrvutil will print the key in hex. Convert this hex
string to octal and use it to setkey the principle in kas.

All released versions of afpd look only in the user's home directory if
they have an AppleVolumes file there. We have a patch that changes
this behavior.
