The new AFS registration stuff appears to be working fine, but there
is a big problem. Since the registration seems to block on the AFS
volume creation, and the database is single threaded, things go very
slowly. There are right now about five people trying to register all
the students (they decided on "standardized" usernames - not my
choice), and it is taking a *long* time.
One solution would be to write a separate program which queues volume
creations, and does them asynchronously.
