Hello
I have some problems using AFS on Mac OS X tiger.
Just after the mac has started everything works fine. But sometimes, 
after a while users loose their tokens and they can't reconnect to their 
homes after unlogging unless they reboot the mac.

The AFS server is on a Fedora Core 3 Linux and AFS uses Kerberos V5 to 
authorize users to mount their homes.

The problem seems to be a "lost contact with file server" as the logs 
show below :
