See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-allbery-afs-srv-records-05 for information about the AFS-specific parts of it. (There are also TXT and SRV records for the Kerberos part; see the documentation for the Kerberos implementation you're using.) This replaces the older AFSDB DNS records that were used for autodiscovery; service-specific DNS record types such as AFSDB have been deprecated in favor of the more general SRV mechanism (except for mail, which is far too entrenched at this point although I bet they'd love to make MX records go away too). If you don't understand this and are not the cell administrator, then forward this to the cell administrator. If you *are* the cell administrator, well, you have some learning ahead of you. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
