As far as I can see, this token interface is only in the rxk5 code -  
it's not yet been shipped with any version of OpenAFS. I can't see any  
obvious reason why it _wouldn't_ ship (beyond the lack of current  
standardisation of the rxk5 and rxgk token formats it documents), so  
this is meant more as a data point.

Documents detailing the rxgk security class will be available very  
shortly.
