We periodically re-synchronize our AFS protection database. This is
different than the continual Moira updates as changes are made to
lists. The periodic sync starts almost from scratch in building the
protection database. Such a synchronization was done a few weeks ago.
Perhaps you were added manually to the protection database initially,
and that change was lost when we re-sync'd.
Currently, we use a program written by Richard Basch to preserve
special protection database entries such as KERBEROS list members and
special groups. These special entries are unsupported. The program
was written (I think) and is used only as a courtesy. Do not count on
it, though it is likely to continue to being used in the near future.
Any bugs that may exist in that software or in our procedures for
using it are likely to remain.
