Hi,

I have installed SL 4.4 on a new server and notice the following 
messages in the logs, when starting afs client at boot-up:

libafs: module license 'http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html' taints 
kernel.
libafs: no version for "sys_close" found: kernel tainted.
libafs: Ignoring new-style parameters in presence of obsolete ones

The client does start and seems to work fine. Are these messages 
innocuous or is there some configuration required before starting the 
afs client (other than changing default cache size and ThisCell) ?

This is an off-site machine with the following afs-related rpms:
root17:34:38 ~/# rpm -qa|grep afs
openafs-1.4.1-0.11.SL.i386
openafs-firstboot-1.2.11-5.SL.noarch
openafs-krb5-1.4.1-0.11.SL.i386
openafs-client-1.4.1-0.11.SL.i386
kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL-1.4.1-0.11.SL.i686
kernel-module-openafs-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp-1.4.1-0.11.SL.i686

Thanks.
