[OpenAFS] Better Logging and Access Control

[Brent Johnson]

Hello,

Actually, you can see reads, writes (and by whom) in the FileLog if you
turn on extra fileserver logging.  On Solaris you'd run "kill -TSTP
<fileserver PID>" successively (each time you run the command it gives
more detail--I've tried up to three iterations).  To restore normal
logging run "kill -HUP <fileserver PID>".  Normal logging is also
restored when the fileserver restarts.  This extra logging (esp. the 3rd
level/iteration) is quite voluminous.
