You need to make the change on the Active Directory account.
You must set the "use DES only" flag and then set a new password.
You can then export the key so that it can be set within AFS
using asetkey.
You must be using a version of OpenAFS 1.3.xxx or the 1.3 Release
Candidate as Active Directory

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 log

Hi Kim,
We've had volumes as large as 300gb in the past during phases of rapid data
collection. While they work for accessing data, vos operations tend to time
out on excessively large (somewhere above 100gb IIRC) volumes. Backups can
become problematic past this point, and performance seems to

I have inherited an AFS cell with two main servers, ~35 clients, mix of
RedHat 9 and RHEL3 systems, OpenAFS 1.2.13. Without any cause I can
determine, a particular directory now hangs all commands: chdir into
the directory works, anything else (ls, for instance) hangs, unkillable
with -KILL.

Yup, had some communication problems between the "old" server and the new box.

Right.. BUT I don't want to just install the AFS client because I don't want
anyone to really have access to that

We've been running a few large (>20GB) volumes with no problem,
but those volumes have a manageable number of files in them.
Our backup medium is 100/200/400GB LTO-2 tape.
Recently, one of our researchers created a 40GB volume that has 5.5
million small files in it. The dump transaction for this

JPSoftware's 4NT is a replacement command shell for Windows that
contains a powerful scripting language.
As of today, the alpha builds of version 7 contain support for
OpenAFS. What do I mean by support?
