The init script is attempting to avoid starting afsd when no network is
present. In most cases, that's what you want it to do, because afsd
doesn't at present work "well" without a network.
In case the script is faulty in your case, you should see why this
shell expression results in no output:
ifconfig -a | grep 'inet addr' | grep -v 127.0.0.1
Ordinarily it should result in one line per interface that is up (has
an address):
# ifconfig -a | grep 'inet addr' | grep -v 127.0.0.1
inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
If the expression needs to be modified for your system, I/we would be
interested to know how we should change it.
