NoAuth not working?

Hi there!
   I'm trying to test a few things without having all the kerberos and auth stuff in place.  I run the following command:

bos setuath <machine> off

   I'm using Transarc paths, so this creates the NoAuth file in /usr/afs/local.  bosserver is running with -noauth.  I am logged in as a user who is listed in UserList.  However, I still can't run fs setacl commands, nor even do an ls of /afs.  I get various messages such as:

fs: You don't have the required access rights on '/afs'
ls: /afs: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

   Do I have to do something else to get afsd to skip permissions checks?

   Again, this is just for testing.  But it appears that the NoAuth file is not honored.

Thank you!
