Question about .netrc

[Hope Goering]

We are having trouble getting a .netrc file to work (to automate
answers to ftp prompts) when a user's home directory is an AFS volume. 
If the home directory is not in AFS, then the .netrc
file works as expected.

Is this working as designed and expected?  Is there any way 
around it?

Thanks,
