Solaris I'll believe.  I'm only looking at Linux.  I don't have any 64-bit
platforms to test on, only x86.  That's why I missed the res_search issue.  It
built fine on all my (x86) platforms.

Yea.  I just decided to ignore those.  I suppose I could try to build and
install fakeka if people seem to want it.

I dont think you need to do the conversion.  It worked just fine for me from
klist -K.  But I DO distribute asetkey in my packages.

Yes.  I've already got packages of 1.4.0rc4 up (which is where this all
started).  I've also incorporated patches to fix the two issues so far 
reported
here (well, one here and one to me personally)..  And I still have to figure
out how to rename the module under 2.6  (I want the module named "openafs" but
somehow the module seems to think its name is "libafs").

I could also probably improve the initscripts....
