Hi, I just did the same comparsion of Transarc AFS 3.6 2.43 and
OpenAFS 1.2.9 on a solaris 8 system running as a translator and
knfs fails the same way under OpenAFS.  If you get a chance to
try it yourself, please let me know what you find.  And, of course,
any attention you can give to this is appreciated....I realize it 
is probably not highest on your list of things to do.

In order to preserve the knfs ability on our translators, we are
continuing to run Transarc's AFS.  Other than the translators,
the rest of our site runs OpenAFS.
