The problem is the cred struct changed due to the TX integration in =20
s10u3, and openafs accessed this struct's members directly.

Either recompile your version of openafs on your rev 36 solaris 10 =20
machine, or use openafs 1.4.4 which doesn't access the cred struct =20
members directly and uses stable functions to get what it needs =20
instead. A single 1.4.4 binary will work across all of your solaris =20
10 afs clients.
