I've been using the subject RPMs with RHEL4 (kernel 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL). 
Thanks VERY much!

One thing that was not working very well was the 'cell' names (names in 
/afs).  Turns out the /etc/init.d/afs script was turning on '-dynroot' 
support, and the root.afs.readonly 'definition' of the cells wasn't 
getting loaded.  It was easy enough for me to comment out the setting of 
this parm, but I'm wondering, was there a better way to do this?  I can't 
seem to figure out what's 'triggering' the logic in the afs script:

#       if is_on $ENABLE_AFSDB; then
#               AFSD_OPTIONS="$AFSD_OPTIONS -afsdb"
#       fi
#       if is_on $ENABLE_DYNROOT; then
#               AFSD_OPTIONS="$AFSD_OPTIONS -dynroot"
#       fi
