Here we have a local AFS cell, so I tought I may try to use it to make my
life simpler... by mounting the whole "/usr" tree via AFS on all the hosts.
That's what we do. But you don't want all of /usr in afs. Here is our
setup:
% ls -l /usr
total 19
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Dec 21 2000 CVS -> /afsroot/usr/CVS
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Dec 21 2000 X11 -> X11R6

lrwxr-xr-x 1 rees wheel 12 Jan 8 13:54 /usr/X11/bin/X -> /usr/Xserver
Note the link for Xserver. That's because the X server can be different on
each machine.
