Recently we installed Transarc's new 3.5 release on two new machines.
Normally I log in and get tokens on a Linux machine running arla,
then transfer them to various other machines using ssh.  This
worked quite well with AFS 3.4a, but it doesn't work with AFS 3.5,
which makes me very glad that the compatibility of token formats
is being improved!
