Maybe it's gotten better recently? It's possible to set it up without making any mistakes and having to backtrack, but as you can see many people don't manage this. It helps to have complete control over your infrastructure - if you're setting up AFS against an existing Kerberos realm, and don't control your own IP address ranges and DNS, it makes things much more complicated. If you're still considering this, a pilot might be the right way to figure out whether to go ahead. I don't agree with the idea that if you have Windows then you need AD. AD itself is harder to manage day-to-day than AFS is, though AD does lots more and might be easier to set up. Some organizations have better use for their IT budgets than buying Microsoft server licenses. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
