Hi,

yes, I reported this for the first 3.0.5 release candidate, and the 
solution is indeed to remove the LSB init info altogether. Trying
to invalidate it may make things worse - try replacing "BEGIN INIT INFO" 
with "NO BEGIN INIT INFO", then chkconfig --reset on SL 4.1. Don't do this 
on production systems, I have no clue how init reacts on the resulting 
mess.

And yes, afs is affected. The impact is however quite limited at least on 
3.0.5. On 4.1 it's a bit worse (the K01afs in all run levels may
terminate some processes much too early and not as cleanly as the should).
This had escaped my attention. We should probably do something about it.

Cheers,
 	Stephan
