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

is a good approach. FreeBSD and Solaris have both done well in my experience. The Linux NFS server implementation has given no end of problems. We use Data OnTAP, which in theory is supposed to have one of the/the best NFS implementations available. All of the real problems are client-side. -- Daniel

[OpenAFS] AFS -NFS Gateway / Translator

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
