OS X.2 Jaguar Arla Problems

[David Botsch]

Ok, now that I've figured it out, I feel a bit silly.

I had been using openafs, in which /afs is a symlink to /Network/afs 
where it actually puts things. Arla, however, really uses /afs and 
doesn't make it a symlink.

Perhaps some sort of coordination could determine a standard way of 
doing it to avoid future confusion (ie, the Mac way of /Network or the 
unix way of /afs)?

Thanks to all who responded!
