arla-0.41 and support for Tiger

[Philippe Charpentier]

Hi Tomas,
Thanks for the information! Restarting the Finder makes AFS appear,  
you are right... but opening it puts the Finder in a loop (rolling  
ball). I managed however to see my files going directly to my  
directory... useless as I couldn't get a token...

Concerning getting an AFS token, I tried kinit as well, but  
unsuccessfully:
phicharp% kinit phicharp at cern.ch
Please enter the password for phicharp at cern.ch:
Kerberos Login Failed: Password incorrect or preauthentication failed.
I am sure the password I typed in was correct, of course ;-)
As for what concerns afslog, I never managed to get a token with  
it... probably as I have not understood how it should work. It was  
(when Arla was not broken) letting me know for how long a token was  
still valid, but not enter a password...
Most probably all this is due to my ignorance, but I certainly want  
to remain ignorant of all the internals of AFS and Kerberos ;-)
If I use kinit without parameter, it complains that the default realm  
is not defined in the configuration file, but I have set "cern.ch"  
in /usr/arla/etc/ThisCell. I am probably missing something again  
there...

Regards,  Philippe
