If you're adventuresome, a patch has been posted which deals with this issue. You need to apply it against the 1.4.4 source. It is located here: http://elektronkind.org/outbox/afs/openafs-s10u4-compat.patch If you're adventuresome, but not THAT adventuresome, I have applied the patch and built the binaries for sunx86_510, which you can get here: http://www.msu.edu/~mk/openafs-1.4.4-sunx86_510-u4-fix.tar I've been running it for about an hour without issue, but obviously this is *brand new* so I wouldn't roll it into your live environment until the patch gets accepted and a new version of OpenAFS is released. ./mk -- Matt Kolb <[log in to unmask]> Academic Computing & Network Services Michigan State University
