No. To be honest, most of my fileservers still run 1.4.4, but it's time to 
upgrade to 1.4.6. The client should be ok anyway.

It would certainly be nice to have both at the same OpenAFS release, and 
the 1.4.6-58 client is doing fine on a number of SL4 systems here. I'm not 
sure that the DOS issue is serious enough that we couldn't wait for the 
next kernel update or SL release though.

NB is 4.6 still on? Just curious, I'm not actually waiting for it. Or are 
you planning to wait until 4.7 (the last SL4 update?) ?

Cheers,
