master.passwd and group.local.

You can also create an /etc/master.passwd.local if you like, but it's
not terribly necessary.

That would be a bug, possibly related to this being a Windows 95 and
not a DOS filesystem.  (We haven't really tested that.)

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a good way of building a new
kernel to see if the bug has been fixed in recent kernels.  For now,
You can try getting the 1.1 alpha sources from ftp.netbsd.org (be sure
to pick up /mit/netbsd/afs/libafs1_1_ALPHA.o.1.31 and install it in
/usr/vice/etc/dkload/libafs1_1_ALPHA.o if you install a new kernel)
and building them on your system.
