[OpenAFS] apache and home directories on with 1.4 client

[Todd M. Lewis]

Perhaps it's related to home directory issues, but based on my 
experience, I think you're running into an issue with SELinux.  The 
default SELinux policies make /afs basically invisible to httpd. As a 
quick test, you can disable SELinux enforcement (see 
/etc/selinux/config), reboot, and see if stuff in AFS shows up through 
httpd. If so, then you can either

   * leave it that way (not a good idea)
   * learn just enough about selinux to make it work (another not good idea)
   * learn a whole bunch about selinux so that you really understand 
what it's doing and why (not a particularly attractive agenda for a long 
night), then make it do the Right Thing on purpose.

BTW, If you end up taking the third option, I'd like to know what you 
had to do to make httpd do the Right Thing in AFS. :-)
