Thanks for the hint. This gives me a good work-around, but the issue
is actually a bit more complex. I find that on an intel machine, the
afs icon always appears in the Finder Sidebar, irrespective of any
visibility setting in the Finder/Sidebar Preferences, and on PPC
machines it never does. On both architectures the Connected Servers
option in Finder Preferences/General/"Show these items on the Desktop"
controls whether the afs icon appears on the Desktop.
Two other solutions which work on either architecture:
- enter "open /afs" from the command line
- set "Computer" visible in Finder Sidebar Preferences & click on its
icon
Yours, Dick

I have installed OpenAFS-1.4.5-Leopard on an intel machine and a G5
PPC. No problems on intel, but on the G5 I get the following error
message on afs startup:

reget the installer?
Despite this error, /afs is mounted at root level, and I have no
problem with afs access from the terminal. Even "open afs_file" from
the command line manages to open the file in the appropriate
application.
Finder->Preferences->General->Connected Servers.
This is not a bug. Apple changed how it worked. It's also documented
at http://www.openafs.org/macos.html (next to the known issue line for
it, follow the bug link)
