He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy 
from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent
that will reach to himself. --Thomas Paine

Well guys, I went ahead and made this one change (switching
MAXKTCTICKETLEN from 12000 to 344), and I'm now able to access AFS space
from AIX 4.3.3. I'm a little concerned tho, about what this change may
affect elsewhere... this machine is our AFS backup box, and I'd like to
still do my backups *grin*...
