OK!  I got tcsh to work -- just needed to upgrade.  I guess (I can't
 confirm the version of tcsh I had) that my version of tcsh didn't work with
 AFS, and after I upgraded to 6.06, BING!  I'm in.  BUT, now a new problem
 has surfaced.  This is probably just a SOLARIS thing, so for the rest of
 you, read on if you want.  

 vold, the daemon that takes care of volumes on the system, well, I kill it
 so I can listen to CD's on my CD player.  BUT, if I try to log in without
 vold running, BZZT!  I can't get in to my home directory in the afs cell.
 But, I can get in if I use my /export/share/beckman home directory (put in
 the /etc/passwd file).  

 Tell me this -- why does vold need to be running (does NFS stuff)?  As I am
 writing this, I just solved why my CD player was saying it was busy... in
 /vol/dev/rdsk there was a directory called c0t6d0/ (the cd player)... also
 in /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/.  I rmdir'ed them, and kill -1 vold, and it seemed
 not to mind so much about the CD player.  

 So running vold isn't bad.  I would, however, like to know why it needs to
 be running for me to log in my afs cell home directory, rather than my home
 directory on my internal drive.  

 A BIG thanks to all who wrote back on the tcsh and AFS problem - once
 again, I just needed an upgrade of tcsh to above 6.01 (thanks to you who
 wrote me about that!  It worked.).
