It's vexing, if not impossible, to try and track down how some unexpected 
filesystem change came about: why is this PTS group gone, who removed this 
volume, etc.  We would like to have logging of all commands requiring admin 
tokens if not all fs/vos/pts/kas.

Yes, we could wrap them all, although that's no guarantee, and it doesn't 
help with third-party applications that are linked into the appropriate 
APIs.  The right place to do this is on the server.

I reckon the answer is, "Go ahead and hack that into OpenAFS if you want 
it," but does anyone have anything else to add?
