As discussed prior in this list, compatibility of arla´s utility
programs with the corresponding AFS utlilities of Transarc eases the
life of the system admin and improves the acceptance of arla by normal
users. Another point are inhomogenious compute clusters, running
Transarcs AFS client ( for example our AIX machines) and arla
(Linux-PC´s) where user tokens need to be passed, extended etc.
