If one adds -rmtsys to the afsd options, it forks off an additional background daemon to handle the NFS translator work. What's responsible for terminating this daemon on shutdown? Should afsd -shutdown be killing it? (If so, this doesn't seem to be working, at least on Debian with 1.4.2.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
