I don't really see the point... Possible vulnerabilities (if I didn't
horribly misunderstand something):

*The AFS server would still need to be updated to keep it secure.
*If the imaged OS is rootable:
**The AFS clients that load the images could be replaced by phishnets.
**The attacker could pose as the user having access to Kerberos
credentials. (So rm -r / would delete the users "securely kept files")

Or do users only have read-only access to their files?? That doesn't
seem useful.
