High number of calls to afs_ComputePAGStats, resulting in system time being consumed unreasonably, due to it and corresponding text.lock.spinlock system calls. I can't see a call to afs_ComputePAGStats in afs_user.c - are you just commenting out the body of the function, or is there a ca

At this point I think a debugger needs to be attached to a service so that we can determine why rxkad is reporting a key version number error. Jeffrey Altman On 3/5/2010 12:36 PM, Stephen Joyce wrote: > A lil' bit more testing, but no solution yet. > > Extracted a new keytab on 2008R2 per Jeff

A lil' bit more testing, but no solution yet. Extracted a new keytab on 2008R2 per Jeff's suggestion. I omitted the kvno flag, and repeated extraction until I got a kvno of sufficient value not to interfere with existing keys. For ktpass: -crypto ALL creates a keytab with DES-CBC-CRC, DES-CBC

knfs still exists. I have no idea if it works, but it's there. And it doesn't imply a hacked NFS client, from how I'm reading that section. It's run on the NFS server, and associates NFS client accesses from UID X to be associated with AFS tokens Y. There's a version for Solaris, which was l
