Thanks. Looks good on my test system.

How about updating openafs to the new 1.4.5 release? I put up an SRPM in 
http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL5/

This had little testing on SL5 (and none on SL4 - seems like TUV just 
released 4.6), but I'm fairly confident it's beta quality at least. The 
changes against 1.4.5 as released by the openafs project are minor at 
this stage (and all from their CVS): three patches for the fileserver, a 
trivial one for the client, and a new klog binary that understands krb5, 
packages as klog.krb5 in openafs-krb5.

Here's a condensed changelog since 1.4.6 (in 4.5):

- upstream release 1.4.5
- first patches from cvs
   1051: krb5-klog-20071101
   1052: cbd-use-callback-size-for-callbacks-20071105
   1053: linux-nsec-timestamp-zero-20071106
   1054: viced-missing-lock-20071109
   1055: viced-accurately-track-file-callbacks-20071112
- krb5 capable klog packaged as klog.krb5 in openafs-krb5
- updated CellServDB
- SL5: fix /etc/init.d/afs-server (missing fi in stop code)
- SL5: improved afs-server init script; also set it to unconfined_exec_t
   in postinstall if selinux active
- new man pages for CellAlias and pt_util
- there is no more kseal executable
- ka-forwarder now comes with upstream, and with a man page
- => we no longer need afs-krb5 at all; this also obsoletes patches 103, 104, 204
- removed unused SuidCells
- use man-pages from release, meanwhile they are better than those from #19268
- make sure man pages are packaged once only
- support for building against lustre-kernel-source on SL4/5

Cheers,
 	Stephan
