Thanks for the information, Antonio

I tried this, but avfsd doesn't appear to be anywhere in my path, or  
anywhere in /usr or in the build tree, and there is no target "make  
avfsd". Do I need to use avfs-config to create it? If it is created by the  
build, could you tell me the /usr directory name and the directory where  
it appears in the build tree?

     > avfsd -f ~/.avfs/
     bash: avfsd: command not found
     > which avfsd
     /usr/bin/which: no avfsd in  
(/home/dougs/bin:/usr/lib/vslick/bin:/usr/local/samba/bin:/home/programs/firefox/firefox-1.0/:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/dougs/bin:/usr/lib/vslick/bin:/usr/local/samba/bin:/home/programs/firefox/firefox-1.0/:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib/oss/bin:/home/dougs/bin)
     > find /usr -iname avfsd

Thanks for any help ...
