I installed the Linux port of AFS on my machine at home. It is
connected via two ISDN 64KB lines using a Gandalf box. I am running
with the Yggdrasil Summer 1994 CD distribution.
After getting the latest Linux kernel - 1.1.52, and getting the
timezone files correct, it worked!!
But I saw three possible problems:
o Although the token said it was still valid, it appears to have
expired a few hours early. This may be a time zone problem?
The PC clock is set to the local time so I can boot DOS.
I used in "rc" "clock -s" so as to get Linux time set correct.
Are the AFS routines doing something different here?
I need to look at this again, since I may be something else.
o "df" shows the cache never got above 10% full. I have a 100MB
cache partition, and set the cacheinfo file to have 100000
I would have expected all the source to endup in the cache.
o To put a load on it and see how it works,
I started building Kerberos 5.4.3 which is located in AFS. There
where a number of lost contact with file server messages,
which cause the make to get an error and continue on causing ,
other problems. Over the weekend, I tried several times to get
the make of the libkrb5.a to work, and it would always fail
with some type of error while adding the object decks to the lib.
There may be ISDN problems as well, but are there any AFS or
TCP/IP settings which could be set to extend the time before
there was a lost contact message?
