[OpenAFS] How Do I use machine entries?

[Hartmut Reuter]

The ip-based groups are only fetched by the fileserver from the ptserver
once in a while. To be sure the actual group is known to the fileserver
you have to wait for about an hour after adding the ip-address-user or
to restart the fileserver.
