AFS password

Setting up password for automatic mirroring

• If it is in AFS: turn off 'r' in ACL of 'passdir' from all but yourself. e.g.

        cd passdir
        fs sa -clear . myname all

• If it is in NFS: use chmod to turn off the read bit from group and

   world users, e.g.
        cd passdir
        chmod og-r pass
