When the file system shared across the PVM is AFS, we have the problem
that pvmd and the tasks that are started (via rexec) do not have an AFS
token.  To make PVM programs work in this setting I had to set the access
rights on the appropriate directories so they are very unrestrictive (e.g.
read/lookup for system:anyuser).  Is there a better solution?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
