DCE and AFS on AXP OSF 3.2

 We need to simultaneously run AFS and DCE clients on a number of AXPs.
This has proven impossible.

 The symptom: when setting up DCE on a machine with an AFS kernel, the
authentication of the cell administrator fails. When the kernel is
replaced in the same machine with a non-AFS kernel, the DCE set-up
works correctly.

 Speculations: From transarc I hear that DCE and AFS share the same PAG,
that in OSF they may share syscall entry points even. At Transarc they do
not have an alpha running both DCE and AFS, and they don't know of
any such alpha. They suspect however that the problem is with OSF and
have advised me to contact DEC.

 The hope is that someone in this list has run across this problem and can
explain the situation or even provide a workaround. Send comments to
me and I will summarize if a conclusion can be reached.

Thank you,
