One thing we really miss in our debugging environment is lsof.  The
code doesn't understand AFS, so it gets confused by file descriptors
on AFS files:

ksh         888      wpm  cwd  ...  node at 0xfc71eb60: can't read inode: 0

We have been talking with the current lsof author, Vic Abell
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who is interested in adding the necessary
functionality to lsof, but has no regular access to system with AFS.

Being a big paranoid Investment Bank, there is no way Morgan Stanley
can provide this kind of regular access.  Is there anyone in the
academic or research community who might be able to help Vic out?  

We would all benefit from a very useful enhancement to a significant
debugging tool, lsof.  

If you are an AFS site, and are politically and technically able to
provide Vis with access, please send us and him email.  We will be
very grateful, and you will have the honor of getting an early alpha
version of the AFS-enabled lsof ;-)
