I don't see any reason to have kfs (even if it'd be robust enough) in auth/cpu
server.  Furthermore, diskless auth server can make the system more stable,
if we could assume that one of the most weak points in the present day PS 
hardware would be harddisk drive.  I suppose here we don't change file server 
so often.  ^_^
Any other idea?
