We have users here and there reporting that they are mysteriously

them to the point where they are able to produce terminal

So far we've only been able to associate the problem with
OpenAFS 1.4.11 for RHELv5.

kernel version? is sys call table being hooked? (the boot log will tell you)

i bet not, and that you really want 1.4.12.1

Thanks for the suggestion (Stephen Q as well).

1.4.12.1 is now installed and user shows the same problem happening

dmesg shows the following:

    libafs: module license 'http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html'
    taints kernel.
    Found system call table at 0xc06224e0 (pattern scan)
    Using keyrings, rather than hooking system calls

Basic system info:

    Linux ourhost 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 23 15:49:21
    EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    # strings /usr/vice/etc/afsd /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-\

    @(#) OpenAFS 1.4.12.1 built  2010-09-02
    #

The user's latest session shows:

    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$ kinit
    Password for theu...@rcf.our.org:
    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$ aklog
    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$ tokens

    Tokens held by the Cache Manager:

    User's (AFS ID 3113) tokens for a...@rcf.our.org [Expires Sep
    10 09:58]
       --End of list--
    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$ ./eval.sh

    ls: .: Permission denied
    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$ tokens

    Tokens held by the Cache Manager:

       --End of list--
    [theu...@ourhost theproject]$

FWIW, eval.sh contains:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
