[OpenAFS] client without a server

[Klaas Hagemann]

Hello,

i just recognized, that the afs-client will run into a long time-out, if no
afs-server is available.
Then it won't really start, although the libafs-module is loaded (i am using
suse linux).

BTW, does anyone has a solution for this problem? To my point of view the
afs client should come up although without an afs server and should work
automatically as soon as an afs-dbms is available.
