Thanks, but I don't see any changes at http://openafs.org/macos.html.

I did find=20
http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.5.74/macos-10.5/OpenAFS-1.5.74.1-Leopa=
rd.dmg=20
by looking in http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs.

After installing (and restarting - just to make sure), I find I can now c=
lick=20
the "Shutdown" button in the Preferences OpenAfs panel as many times as I=
 want=20
without panicing the OS - a vast improvement.  Unfortunately, afsd never =
shuts down.

I now add my cell info to CellServDB using the Preferences OpenAfs panel.=
=20
/afs/afsdemo.cit.cornell.edu is still not there.

After another restart, /afs/afsdemo.cit.cornell is there.

Another question:  What considerations go into the decision as to how to =
answer=20
the question "Do you want to create the directory ~/Library/LaunchAgents"=
?
