Hi

I tried several things to reproduce this output.

I tested this some minutes ago: I unmounted /afs manually und
started /etc/init.d/afs again. It resulted in exactly this error
message. Maybe I tried on Jan the 22th to load the modules manually. I
wanted to understand the init script.

No, because I don't start afs at every reboot (it wouldn't make sense,
because it is not working). But I don't get it every time I start the
init script.

That would mean, that afs should have worked at least once. I started
afs serveral times correctly.

Well, at this moment I can't reproduce anything, because I crashed the
machine (remotely, sic) by shutting down afs.

But I am sure, that iptables -L brings nothing, because I didn't
implemented yet any firewall funcionality (and I didn't touch anyone of
these ugly Suse personal firewall scripts).
