I'm seeing two odd-ball problems on suns with AFS and was wondering if anyone else has seen these. The first scenario is this: Both machines are running SunOS 4.1.3, and using transarc's login and in.rlogind; User bob has "grand" in his .rhosts; he is already on grand and tries to rlogin to teton; If the partition that bob's homedir is already mounted before he tries to rlogin, everything goes fine, he's not prompted for a passwd, and the rlogin proceeds fine. If his homedir is not mounted when he tries to rlogin, the automounter mounts the filesystem with his homedir, but login can't seem to open his .rhosts and so bob is prompted for his passwd. After bob gets on, he can't cat his .rhosts (perms 600), but he can cat any of his other files with the same permissions. Bob can cat the .rhosts as soon as he writes anything to his homedir. It almost seems like some race condition where transarc's login tries to open the .rhosts, and gets a failure before the automounter gets a chance to mount up the filesystem. We have not seen this on machines where the homedirectories are local, or on machines with automounted homedirs but using sun's login and rlogind. Last note, I first thought this was a Sun Stupid Automount trick, but this happens with amd too. The second one is using Sun's Calendar Manager (cm)? What we're seeing is that the dates are off by seven hours. It appears to be the difference between Mountain time and Greeenwich mean time. This machine is a sun IPC running 4.1.3, and gets its entire /usr and /usr/openwin partition from AFS. I've checked /usr/lib/zoneinfo, and the only difference between the AFS /usr/.../zoneinfo and a UFS zoneinfo is that localtime is a hard-link to US/Mountain on a Unix filesystem and US/Mountain is an identical copy of localtime under AFS (since hard-links can't span directories) Well, sorry for the long-windedness, and thanks for any help you can provide. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Thomas J.
