Thanks! This looks good.

Ideally, we should include this in the quick start or admin guide, but 
the wiki at 
http://www.dementia.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/CreatingANewCell is 
probably a good place to keep those directions until they make it into 
the documentation in git.

Using kmod's are fine, but dkms can be easier when upgrading kernels.

To use the dkms rpm, add the epel repo, remove the kmod's, and run
"sudo yum dkms openafs-dkms"

dkms automatically compiles the needed openafs kernel module when the 
kernel is upgraded.

Sincerely,
Jason
