Thanks Simon. I appreciate the info sharing.
What are "dkms" RPMs? Should we need to debug something
with SNA or the list, we'd build from scratch, replicate
the problem, and then submit a report.
Can you provide more information on pointing yum at
openafs.org repositories? We've not used yum past
the basic/standard method.

We use rpm. Whilst we have our own local RPM management system, you can
just use yum for this. Point yum at the repositories on openafs.org, and
all of the machines will get the relevant kernel module.
Alternatively, you might like to explore the dkms RPMs. These will
automatically build new kernel modules as required. This simplifies
kernel module management, but at the expense of every machine running a
different, locally built piece of code. dkms simplifies management, but
can complicate debugging.
Hope that helps,
Simon.
