In /etc/hostconfig I'd add a line corresponding to the start-at-boot

OPENAFS=-YES-

In /Library/StartupItems/OpenAFS/OpenAFS script, I'd modify the startup
script adding at the top of StartService() the lines commonly used in
system scripts like network time (or equivalent of course):
StartService()
{
if [ "${OPENAFS}:=YES" = "-YES-" ]; then
start afs
else
whatever
fi
}
This way, a user can select wether or not to have AFS at boot, and
manually starting and stopping it. I'm writing a small applescript for
this, easing some users of AFS with laptops. We use a lot AFS, and many
would also use it on laptops, but network loss, AFS and finder don't mix
:)
My idea in the future is to add some way an item to ``Sharing''
preferences to start and stop AFS, and set some options. Some way... it
should be possible.
What do you think about this? Is it that stupid? :)
I think it's a good idea, but it might be more appropriate for [email protected] or even for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as a feature request).
