Because of the increased security requirements for system software in OSX
10.11, the OpenAFS client basically can't be distributed.  Auristor is a
next-generation distributed filesystem, very nice, and backward-compatible
with OpenAFS, but very expensive.  However, we have a support contract 
with Auristor for OpenAFS, and access to their client software.

The Auristor client works fine with our servers, but the configuration is 
somewhat different, and we don't yet have any automated scripts to set it 
up.  Also, it doesn't work with the legacy authentication service that we 
have, so we need to configure people on a new system - but we've already 
done all the work to set that up, (and it works better and is more 
secure).

So, with a few caveats, we can get El Capitan up and running and seeing 
all the research file servers.

Anyone wishing to use it should contact Research Computing.  The first 
step is for us to migrate your account to the new authentication service 
(which means resetting your password, and possibly installing additional 
software if you use more than one computer with AFS clients).
