Gak! RSBAC is likely to be rather incompatible with AFS in that case...
inodes are kludged to make Unix happy; the AFS "address space" uses 4-tuples
which are much larger than an inode number and there is no usable device
number. Which means that inode numbers are often duplicated. I recently
saw a bug report about Solaris ld.so, which assumes it can treat
device/i-number pairs as unique when it's literally impossible to produce a
unique ID for an AFS file which will fit into a device/i-number pair, so it
gets confused if two different shared libraries in an AFS volume get hashed
to the same i-number.
