Other than your first statement, I have no idea. What IS your needs?!?

Don't know that that 'krbafs-utils' is (I don't use Mandrake), but
the kernel module is a read-only AFS client module. Basically it's
only used for AFS booting (as compared with NFS boots) - i.e. diskless
systems...

Please have a look at http://www.bayour.com/LDAPv3-HOWTO.html. It
might explain some of your questions...
