I suggest also that we move in 1.5.x to launchd. The StartupItems way  
is deprecated in 10.4, and no one knows what will happen in next  
releases.

I can make also a launchd item, no problem, it's fairly simple. As  
soon as I have something stable, I will post here the modifications.  
For now, OpenAFS can be started at boot depending on /etc/hostconfig  
(stable).

For a Share preferences item, it's a bit more complex, but anyway, no  
one says we must do this way, although it's a very nice thing. Again,  
for now I'm doing an AFS controller with AppleScript that starts/ 
stops AFS and sets the start at boot flag --- it works, and probably  
works on other versions, I'm ``beta'' testing it :)

Cheers!
