[OpenAFS] RWrite and ROnly root.afs/root.cell on same server causing system crash

2006-05-31 Thread Daniel Clark
I'm setting up a new cell, and I think I've run into something that is either a bug or a piece of documentation that needs to be clarified (at http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/QuickStartUnix/auqbg005.htm#HDRWQ80 steps 5-8) The behavior is that after creating read-only replicas of root.cell and ro

[OpenAFS] AFS <->NFS Gateway / Translator

2006-06-23 Thread Daniel Clark
Could someone comment on the state of the OpenAFS NFS Translator code? The last email I found on it [1] seems to suggest that it should work on Solaris 9, but when I try to use knfs on that platform (Solaris 9, sparcv9 64-bit, OpenAFS 1.4.1), I get: # knfs -host hostname -id 150522 knfs: failed t

There is some doc up at http://www.dementia.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/KerberosV ; I do remember seeing a step by step guide at some point; googling might find it. AFAIK there is no real tie in between OpenAFS/KerberosV and LDAP - AFS keeps track of its own groups and other directory information
