[OpenAFS] False replay error with 1.7 on Win 7 client (fwd)

2012-12-11 Thread Steve Gaarder
I am trying to get Openafs 1.7.21 working on a Windows 7 machine. I followed the directions on http://wiki.openafs.org/WindowsEndUserQuickStartGuide/ and installed Heimdall and the Network Identity Manager from the links on that page. Using the Identity Manager, I am able to get a Kerberos

[OpenAFS] JP Software's Take Command and OpenAFS for Windows

2012-12-11 Thread Jeffrey Altman
I have in the past promoted JP Software's Take Command as an alternative command line shell for Windows users. As far as I am aware it is the only OpenAFS aware command shell. There are many benefits for OpenAFS users: 1. It permits UNC paths to be the current directory so drive letter mappings

Hi Brandon and others, I am by no means an administrator, rather a UX designer building a concept design as easy as possible for the end users. So, I take it, it is possible to build an afs client without static pointers to afs servers. I hope this applies to the home cell as well, since the

It has been brought to my attention that at least one major anti-virus vendor's product simply does not scan the contents of \\AFS when used in conjunction with the AFS redirector. I have notified the vendor and I am awaiting a response before I make their name and product version public.
