In attempting to find out the "problem" that prompts my error -5018
I did a little investgating. Mentioned here was 'strace' (which I
didn't know about, wonderful tool). Found out some things:
Client #1 (original problem) Really AppleTalk PC running on a DOS
box:
This tries to log into the Linux box and gets an error -5018. Looking
at the system calls, I see that one of the things that 'afpd' does in
this case is a 'statfs' on the home directory, followed by a bunch
of stat's on the disk devices (like /dev/hda5 for example). Eventually
it comes down to a 'quotactl' system call, which (on my system) gives
an error return (ENOPKG, Package not installed). It seems I don't have
quotas. Looking thru the source, it appears that ANY error return from
this system call trips things up, and (I assume) eventually causes the
'-5018' error.
Now the 'wierd' part:
Client #2 (A Quadra 840AV running 7.6.1):
This machine sucessfully logs into the Linux box, the same box. In the
system trace, I see NO 'quotactl' calls AT ALL. It seems that there is
a whole section that isn't executed when this client runs.
Client #1 identifies as AFS 1.1, client #2 identifies as AFS 2.1.
My next step is to modify 'afpd' to check the error return from the
'quotactl' system call to see if that really is the problem. Film/Video
at 11.
Does this lend some insight into the 'problem' (if any).
