Hi Ron,
Guess you're up and running :)
The AFS commands can be run from any AFS client.
AFAIK if a user doesn't have an entry in /etc/passwd they're not able to log
in. PAM may be able to circumvent this, I'm not an expert, but suspect if
you try using an /etc/passwd with just the permitted login users that it
will work.
IOW -- set the machine up as an AFS client, and any of the AFS commands can
be run from that client. Trim the /etc/passwd file and see if you can still
log in as one of the deleted users.

Subject: [OpenAFS] running vos from "another" machine
Hello all,
I want a machine that is not "per se" an OpenAFS client or
server to be
able to run vos so I can dump volumes in a cell.
(Actually what I want is "a" machine to run OpenAFS so
that I can use
vos on it, but I don't want anyone with an afs account to
be able to log
in to the box, except an OpenAFS admin maybe.)
Can that be done ? (and if so what do I need ?)
thanks,
Ron
