We've had problems with AFS 3.4beta and AIX 4.1.3 (and AIX 4.1.2) as
well. We noticed that executing an 'ls -l' sometimes fails as does the
mkuser command. Here's some output I sent to Transarc on 6/22 about it.
System type: 7020-1U0
# uname -a
AIX cecil 1 4 003064404D00
# oslevel
4.1.2.0
# ls -al
total 376
drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 2048 Jun 05 11:00 .
drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 2048 Jun 07 09:36 ..
Illegal instruction
# ls -l
total 368
Illegal instruction
ls -a and ls -F both work ok.
It seems to fail when it tries to access either user or group information
that is not in the local /etc/passwd or /etc/group files. Once the AFS
login is disabled, both ls and mkuser work fine.
