Hi,
We're still in the process of setting up and installing AFS, so this
may be a stupid question.


In our current setup, using NFS, mail for users is delivered by MMDF
directly into ~user/newmail.  Putting the user's mail into their home
directory makes things a lot simpler in the NFS world.


Anyway, in AFS, I can't see any way to permanently give the MMDF
delivery daemon the required permission to write into a users home
directory.  Am I wrong, or is this problem usually dealt with in a
different manner by other AFS sites?
