[OpenAFS] Currently correct info for Debian sarge OpenAFS install?

[Eric Bennett]

Yeah, I thought of that;


127.0.0.1       localhost
69.60.123.88    raven.umbralservices.com raven

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Thanks for the thought though.

Regards
Eric
