The makefile calls the script in src/afs/afs-patches and it passes a command called "false" (or true if you have AFS). Apparently false is not behaving the correct way, so this script always includes the AFS includes and vars to build the c-client makefile. BSD/OS compilation will choke on this. The solution is simple, just comment out everything in the afs-patches script file and you're on your way. I'm not sure why /usr/sbin/false is not working, I'll probably look into the BSD/OS 2.1 source on the cdrom tomorrow. Rudy
