We are running openafs 1.4.0 with Linux clients.

I want to script a process for shutdown time so that the dot files

 But I can't figure how to ask openafs "where is that user's space?".

Sounds dangerous. Usually a user update their .dot files at their own
discretion. But you are going to update them when a sysadmin shuts down
a machine? A user on another machine might get surprised.

I assume you copied them from AFS to the local machine at some time,
how did you find them?

You could have local convention that there is a symlink in the user's
"Linux" $HOME" directory pointing to their "openafs space".



Why this is a problem:

Our open afs system has users created in subgroups, as in

pols616/fred
pols616/jane

and

pols909/bill
pols909/jaime

Users authenticate and they can find these things under
/afs/ku.edu/usr/pols.  If everybody were under the same directory, it
would be easy.
