[OpenAFS] Redhat server packages dependent on kernel modules

[Matthew Cocker]

Hi

I was asked today why the kernel module is required by the redhat
openafs-server rpm. I couldn't come up with a reason as I thought only
the client program would require it.

What have I missed?

I'm asking because the rpmbuild of the redhat3 openafs 1.4 source rpms
fails with the errors below. I seem to remember this is a redhat kernel
problem but haven't found the solution in the archive yet. In this case
we just down loaded the pre-built kenerl rpms from openafs.org, but we
like to be able to build the rpms from spec file so we can if required
add in local config files for local users.

Cheers

Matt
