[OpenAFS-port-darwin] getting 1.2.10a to show real modes

In previous versions of OpenAFS on Mac OS X, and as a default on  
1.2.10a, unix file permission mode bits were hacked up to be the same  
for user, group and other.

In /var/db/openafs/etc/config, you will find afssettings and  
settings.plist.  If you edit the settings.plist file, and change the  
RealModes property from false to true, you will see the actual  
(unhacked) mode bits next time you reboot.  Or run:

	# sudo ./afssettings

to change this immediately.

FYI, this uses a new sysctl setting that is new in 1.2.10a.  It  
currently is the only setting there, but theoretically other settings  
could be changed via the sysctl mechanism.
