Hello Again,
Thanks for the help but unfortunately it did not work. Those lines were
uncommented. and I tried the update as well but with no success.
I may have done a few other things that messed it up too. I was trying to
see if I could install a way to access my CSAIL files through my computer
like I do with my AFS locker. So that could have also very well messed it
up too, because I think it may have changed the openafs modules. Do you
know of any way to recover from that?
Thanks for the help.
Miguel
