Hi Kim, >Hi Ron,

I thought that maybe there was some "elegant" way to do what I wanted. >Kim thanks, Ron ================================= Kim (Dexter) Kimball CCRE, Inc. kim<dot>kimball<at>jpl.nasa.gov dhk<at>ccre.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Croonenberg Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 11:36 AM To: openafs-info@openafs.org 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 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
