I put the Kerberos files in AFS.
But I have local files for servers related to login such as
telnetd, rlogind, login.krb5, etc. I want to be able to login
to a system even if AFS is down.
I have symbolic links in /krb5 something like this:
/krb5/admin -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/admin
/krb5/bin -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/bin
/krb5/include -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/include
/krb5/lib -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/lib
/krb5/man -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/man
/krb5/sbin -> /afs/mycell/k5.4.2/sbin
