By now it's 4.0.1.6-0~x2go1+wheezy~main~712~build1, but the problem 
persists.

No, that should not be necessary. KRB5CCNAME is set by pam_krb5.so. 
pam_afs_session.so in turn uses this to obtain an AFS token, then 
associates it with a new Process Authentication Group. The PAG ID is 
stored in the group array for the session, i.e. "id" shows an additional 
artificial group id. In fact this all works flawlessly on initial login, 
it's only on resume where it fails.

It occurs to me now that both KRB5CCNAME and PAG are per-session rather 
than per-user, so that might be the cause for this problem (but I'm 
really just guessing here).

Is there a detailed description of the resume process? Does it involve 
any shell scripts or similar I could hook into in order to log 
additional information?


I'm attaching /var/log/user.log as well as the client output from a 
failed resume attempt, maybe this offers some clues.

Thanks,
Sebastian
