Ok, had a closer look at the first 100 pages and a non closer at the rest.
It looks more like a detailed and useful howto install OpenAFS and the
most common services (krb5,ldap,mail,apache,..) onto a debian server.
For me it is kinda useful, but if you know howto setup a full krb setup
with all service the book should not tell you any news.

OpenAFS and setup Apache/mail/... in OpenAFS seems not to be the focus
of the book, the focus seems to be on howto install and set the services
all up to work and interact with krb5/ldap/AFS.
