That's all I'm going to say there.

Agreed.  Either Admin Guide or some new Special Topics
Guide which covers the details not applicable to 90%
of most admins, but should at least be glossed over
by savvy admins to understand what's possible.

Once I understand it better (-clone), I'll at least
add a few more words to the POD/man about it.

PS: It was nice to see AFS Tool Suite get mentioned in
     your AFSKBPW 2010 talk.  Thanks.  I only saw the PDF
     of the slides last night.
