Being a new and naive AFS user/admin, I have what I hope
is a question that some of you will answer"RTFM, its in the
foo manual, section bar..." but I havent found it yet, so here
goes...
Is there a way to list/examine the tickets/tokens for
all/some/a_list_of users of a cell? I can use the 'tokens' command
to see some of the info for a single user by su'ing to that user,
but that seems rather onerous. There must be (should be?) some
way to see the stats/authentication records/tokens/tickets for
a list of users (or members of a group, or even everyone...)
The same goes for the AFS-NFS translator. Has anyone come up
with a way to interogate the translator to see what id's
on what hosts are being allowed access to the cell?
Specifically, I am trying to diagnose a problem. We have
a cell here, with (some) volumes owned by a specific group.
Some machines that need access to the cell are running Unixware
(where is that Unixware client?), hence have NFS mounted /afs
on/from the AFS server. In most cases the AFS uid and the UNIX
uids match. Unfortunately (and I dont know enough yet to really
claim this is a significant cause or not) a few Unix uids
do not match the corresponding AFS uids.
On the server, users are doing (what seem to be) the proper
invocations of 'knfs'. Some directly, some via a crontab
script, some via rsh.
For the most part this all works fine... (At least) one of my
users cannot see inside the cell through the NFS mount. He
is one of the users that has more than one Unix uid. At one point
last week, we thought we had licked the problem and he was able to
access the files he needed. Once that ticket expired, we havent
been able to get him access... And I cant find a way to dig into
the NFS translator to see what it thinks... I even went so
far as to allow any id from the particular NFS client to see
the cell... We fixed the symptom eventually by
unmounting/remounting /afs from that host.
Help?
