  Hi, just got this forwarded to me... yes, cops are everywhere...
anyway, some talk of cops on AFS:

My understand is that cops doesn't even attempt to do the right thing
w.r.t. network stuff.  AFS is definitely network stuff.

  Depends what you mean.  As I recall, last I checked on AFS, things
like stat (or at least the is_writable type of stuff in cops) gave strange
results, but the rest of the checks in cops worked ok.  Not knowing much
about AFS, nor anyone who does, I didn't bother to try and fix it.  Any
volunteers to work with me to get it to work?  I don't know of any
fundemental problems that cops has with AFS, but I'd be happy to
be enlightened.
