Home directories are working directly from AFS, eg user blabla has 
homedir /afs/seiva.org/user/b/l/blabla/mac. We have taken in attention 
the caching of Mozilla and there is plenty of space in the volume. 
Mozilla works great in Linux directly from afs so we are looking for 
some platform specific problem with MacOsX and/or OpenAfs. Have you had 
any experience with Mozilla?
