> I created an account, lets say user37
did you create the user with "pts adduser"? this would be afs user - unix/linux system does not recognises this on it's own (not sure if there is name service switch component for this). our set up: ldap - user details (user name, group membership) kerberos5 - login credentials/principals + passwords afs servers - volumes + also hold user names the three have to be kept in sync in order for the system to work, i.e. ldap user-name, kerberos [EMAIL PROTECTED], afs (pts entries) have to be in sync. e.g. ldap user1 kerberos5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] pts listentries has to list the user1 use appropriate tools for adding the user to each component... corrections welcome. vladimir _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
