1.7? sounds like 'latest greatest syndrome'. no one ever suggested a 1.7 release for anything but Windows.

Re: [OpenAFS] Installation of OpenAFS on Ubuntu 11.10
I install from the source code of version 1.7.1 on ubuntu 11.10 and ... 1.7.1? On Unix/Linux clients and servers I would use 1.4.14 or 1.6.x. For Windows clients I would use 1.7.8. Does 1.7.x work for other OSes than Windows at all? 1.6.1 will be released soon. I would wait for that and not use 1.6.0.

Could you plz have a read of that to verify that the operations are complete and correct. I have been puzzled by this for a whole week. Why compile from source? Why 1.7.1? Why ka server? Why install all by hand? There are quite perfect packages of 1.6.1pre4 in debian available which will work in ubuntu, to. 1.7.1 is just 1.6.x which includes the windows native drive, not suitable for linux. Stick with 1.6.1pre4 for a best server set. Do use krb5 server and not kaserver (which is krb4 and no more used with OpenAFS 1.6.0 and higher). But if you just setup another server, your krb5 setup is already setup. For a short, useable installation of a OpenAFS fileserver and a new cell, we just made a (german) HowTo setup a OpenAFS cell and a workshop in chemnitz. That PDF is here: http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2012/vortraege/folien/1018_OpenAFS.pdf With that howto (made step by step on debian) you have a running cell. If you want to train, the image of the debian system on which that PDF is applied is linked under: http://tetris.cgv.tugraz.at/clt2012/CLT12.de.tar.bz2 But maybe I did miss a important point of your side?

If so, please use trunk from the OpenAFS repository. In that case you could easily get gerrit and interweb into your code. 1.7.1 is really not meant to built on linux and work fine. the 1.7.x line is meant for windows, not linux. 1.9 will be linux again. But currently I do not see much reason to change the OpenAFS code for a backup project. Maybe your needed changes are already in trunk or on aproject already done for OpenAFS but hangs in staging area. When I compiled 1.6.X, some bugs are there and I found one solutions said that 1.6 version has an inherent bug on Ubuntu, so I tried 1.7.1. check the source packages for ubuntu 1.6.1pre4 - they built fine on debian and ubuntu so far. And if still problems do arise, choose trunk. The installation is just for writing codes later and I don't need to care much about the security, kaserver is simpler to test. If thats the case, please use a stable, working installation with potential for future use. Which will be a working 1.6.1pre4 or trunk. And kerberos 5 and no more kaserver. On windows kaserver is already striped out of the 1.7.x releases, on linux it is already depracted in 1.6.x (but still available, more or less unsupported), it will be striped out in 1.8.x and above. Esp. if you setup a new cell, even just for a test, do use krb5. It will make your life easier with future progress of your project with OpenAFS. Same reason is to use the ubuntu/debian setup for path and start/stop scripts. It will make your life (and the ones of guys helping you) much easier and happier. I do use the debian packages for 7 years now and I am quite happy with them.
