Ok, folks, I really feel like I'm missing something here.
Almost all of our AFS-based clients have user's home directories in
AFS. We use symlinks to "user space" on the hard disk and put the
path in the passwd file.
ie. /usr/users/2 -> /afs/psc.edu/usr/2
& path in the passwd file would be /usr/users/2/fooklebarf
When users log in, login picks up a token and they're in their
home directory.
Home directories by default are set to "userid all" and that's about it.
There's rarely a reason for people's home directories to be
"system:anyuser" anything.
On machines that have local home directories and don't pick up AFS
tokens by default on login, users need to klog to pick up a token to
access their AFS directories.
What Russ described about putting public files symlinked into a
"public" directory is commonly done & makes lots of sense.
[However, here we're halfway into another "why have plan files and let
people use finger when there's THE WEB!" 'discussion'... but that's
another head banging on the wall. argh :-(]
In any case. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the question.
