YMMV, but,
Personally, I'd like to be able to comment out the AFS start up and still
have my system run after a reboot. Since /etc/hosts is crucial (at least
in Solaris) for the system to learn about itself, I would not make that
info dependent on any other systems.
I have a similar feeling about /etc/resolv.conf.
I could imagine /etc/hosts.equiv being in AFS. I no longer use r
commands, so don't have this file on my systems..
I'm not sure what else might be suitable.

[OpenAFS] using afs for unix config files
I am wondering how wise it is to use afs to store config files like
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
...
can anyone comment on their experience using afs to store these files
and which config files seem to be less well suited to putting in afs?
