Steve,
Netman is the Network Connections control panel interface. It can still be
started manually later if you need to reconfigure an adapter. The same is
true for webdav if anyone is using this. This has been tested on a number
of machines over the past two weeks with no ill effects. There are a few
errors in the log generated by netman that can be ignored.
Consider this fix as a temporary one until there is a working Open AFS
installer. Because the long startup delays were such an inconvenience to
users I felt compelled to mention it as available for those who need an
immediate fix. There are no plans to push this out domain wide, consider
this just informational.
