I've changed the script which tunes Mac clients, principally to turn on 
'crypt' mode by default.  This setting encrypts file transfer traffic on 
the network (authentication traffic is always encrypted anyway).  Crypt 
mode is on by default in the Windows client, but off by default for the 
Mac.

The new script is at:

http://caligari.dartmouth.edu/downloads/openafs/afssetup.zip

The Zip file unpacks to 4 clickable scripts:

  afssetup: sets up client tunable parameters, and enables crypt mode
     then restarts the client
  afslink: creates desktop shortcuts to your AFS home folder
  startafs: start up or restart the client manually
  stopafs:  stop the client manually

The start/stop buttons in the OpenAFS control panel do not seem to always 
work.  It is rarely needed to manually start or stop the client, but these 
scripts seem to work reliably.
