Thanks to Troy and Stephan,

Yes, I understand that adding -dynroot option in /etc/sysconfig/afs
will prevent the network test to be done. I don't know if this option
was designed for this usage or something else but it will do.

I am ready to test the new binaries but I am with SL 3.0.1 so I am not
sure I have the right environment to test openafs binaries for SL3.0.3.
