Indeed it is.  I tried to reboot only to have it hang completely and  
require a hard poweroff.  It's back up and running now, and my  
startup script is fixed properly to prevent that from happening  
again.  Theoretically it would be nice to get that bug fixed, but  
I've got bigger bugs in my sights at the moment :-D.

I've discovered that all the OpenAFS commands return "Invalid  
Argument", which leads me to suspect that somehow the syscall isn't  
being properly registered, but I really have no clue where to look to  
try to fix this.  Do you have any advice for me?  Thanks!

Cheers,

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the  
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious  
deficiencies.  The first method is far more difficult.
