, "iint_free"             ~=0A=0Ato /etc/rsyslog.conf as per an earlier sug=
gestion of yours.=0A=0AI found I needed pam-afs-session; is the library pro=
vided in the rpm going to be included in the default openafs packages?=0A=
=0ALastly- since I run Fedora, which now provides openafs by their own repo=
sitories, which repository would you recommend- theirs or yours?=0A=0A--- O=
