[OpenAFS] 1.4.2-beta2 CheckRights len=0 messages in FileLog?

[Christopher D. Clausen]

I installed 1.4.2-beta2 on a sun4x_510 AFS server.  It seems to be 
working fine, but I noticed LOTS and LOTS of message like the following 
in FileLog:

Mon Jul 17 16:58:51 2006 CheckRights: len=0, for 
host=128.227.253.135:7001
.

Is this to be expected with 1.4.2beta2?  (I have never seen such message 
with previous AFS versions.)  And what exactly do those message mean? 
84000 out of about 85000 lines in FileLog are like the above.  None of 
the messages reference any of the machines that I run, so I can't 
correlate problems to possible client issues.

There are only a few clients generating all these messages:
[root@alnilam:/usr/afs/logs]# cat FileLog | grep CheckRights | 
cut -d, -f2 | sort | uniq
 for host=128.2.108.217:7001
 for host=128.2.109.150:7001
 for host=128.227.253.135:7001
 for host=129.174.19.245:7001
 for host=130.183.16.142:7001
 for host=137.138.5.82:7001
 for host=152.7.206.228:7001
 for host=24.22.208.5:7001
 for host=74.135.170.54:7001

Assuming the same client versions from those hosts, and only for hosts 
that answered right now.

Any further info would be appreciated.

Thanks!
