[OpenAFS-port-darwin] web browsers cannot save to homedir in afs

[David Botsch]

Hi.

I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this issue.

Jaguar 10.2.4 ... OpenAFS 1.2.7 OR OpenAFS 1.2.8 ... 2003-03-03 
security update applied or not applied... doesn't matter.

So far, Mozilla 1.2a, latest IE, and Chimera 0.5...

these three web browsers cannot save files to a user's home directory. 
Navigator and IE appear to succeed, but the file is not there. Mozilla 
actually gives an error message about an unknown error having occurred 
and that the file cannot be saved (this seems to be a mozilla error and 
not a system error judging from the dialog box).

this is only affecting users whose home directories are in afs space. 
Local users seem to be unaffected. 
No system log or crash log information that seems to be of any use 
other than when Navigator did crash on an attempt to download a pdf 
file:
