OpenAFS
We are including openafs, even though wee do not feel that it is
enterprise production ready. It does work for the most part, but
this version of openafs had not worked on all hardware.
32bit (i686) UP - writes get stuck, not recommended
32bit (i686) SMP - works
64bit (x86_64) UP & SMP - works
There is an interaction problem between AFS, kerberos, and
the pam_krb5afs that comes with S.L. 4.0.
If the machine is using kerberos authentication, and is running
AFS, then there can be a long delay of up to a minute when
authenticating into the machine, and the user will not get an AFS token.
