Here is an easy question. How do we do a chown of files in AFS.
Currently although we have "ALL" rights we can not do a chown.

Well I figured that much. Once you become root, however, your token is
no good. If you klog to your original user name you can't do a chown.
You can make an AFS root account, but in a distributed environment you
don't neccesarily want to have people on client machines to be root on
the servers.
Or is it sufficient to just have root privilege on the clients? If so,
does this only give you root access to AFS files?
