You don't need to disable AFS. As a workaround, you only need to define
entries for the numeric AFS groups in /etc/group. As mentioned above,
use id -a to see which groups you need to define, e.g.
% id -a
uid=46(hoffman) gid=10(tty) groups=33536(),32568()
Given the output above, define groups in /etc/group as follows:
afs1::33536:
afs2::32568:
It doesn't matter what you call the groups, just so they have some definition.
Note that the first group number, 33536, seems to be a constant whereas the
second group number changes every time you log in. You will need to create
the /etc/group entries and install Oracle in the same login session.
