[OpenAFS] loging into afs: ssh vs gdm

[Douglas E. Engert]

What is:
Oct 31 14:07:33 oort kernel: reop_import_path: no such path:
  /afs/csc.depauw.edu/home/jeepdude

So it looks like it is still trying to lookin AFS, even though
you said it was a local account.

Thats what I meant too, it worked on a local acocunt, but not if the
home was in AFS. So what is  /afs/csc.depauw.edu/home/jeepdude?
