[OpenAFS] Something like $HOME in afs?

[Paul Johnson]

We are running openafs 1.4.0 with Linux clients.

I want to script a process for shutdown time so that the dot files
from the Linux $HOME directory are copied to the user's openafs space.
 But I can't figure how to ask openafs "where is that user's space?".

Why this is a problem:

Our open afs system has users created in subgroups, as in

pols616/fred
pols616/jane

and

pols909/bill
pols909/jaime

Users authenticate and they can find these things under
/afs/ku.edu/usr/pols.  If everybody were under the same directory, it
would be easy.
