>=20
no, because the file comes with every maintenance level update . you need=20
an afs version of the v3fshelper not the version , that cis part of the os =
. i think the guy , who setup the server once has copied it from the=20
original afs cd , i have no idea , if the old 3.5 version wil work or not=20
... sorry , somebody else has to answer that .
