Nothing. You obviously excel at following instructions, which haven't
changed since, well, 1990 or so.

But do keep in mind that AFS is a complex system that requires some
maintanance now and then.  Problems I have found challenging involve
network communciation issues over firewalls and port-based ACLs; and
changing the IP addresses of running servers.  The udebug program was my
friend in those cases, but also important was an understanding of how
the various internal databases are replicated and what constitutes a
replication quorum.  How to make and release updates to replicated
filesets is probably the first order of business, though.
