huberth mentioned having problems reading files from his home directory 
on scyther.mit.edu, a Linux-Athena 9.4.9 machine.  The only relevant 
message in /var/log/messages is:

Jun 27 00:52:20 scyther kernel: afs: Tokens for user of AFS id 61857 for 
cell athena.mit.edu have expired

He, however, did get current tokens before attempting to read files again:

Tokens held by the Cache Manager:

User's (AFS ID 61857) tokens for afs@sipb.mit.edu [Expires Jun 27 11:01]
User's (AFS ID 61857) tokens for afs@athena.mit.edu [Expires Jun 27 11:01]
    --End of list--

Unfortunately, I don't have any more useful output, since the problem 
fixed itself.  This seems similar to what I previously reported in 
testers[7175] though.

In an unrelated AFS issue, dmesg shows:

afs: Lost contact with file server 10.0.0.1 in cell csail.mit.edu 
(multi-homed address; other same-host interfaces maybe up)
afs: Lost contact with file server 10.0.0.1 in cell csail.mit.edu 
(multi-homed address; other same-host interfaces maybe up)

I don't know whether this is an Athena problem, or a CSAIL configuration 
problem.
