I was, amusingly, completely unaware of its existence until about a year ago and have never used it, despite having used and then maintained AFS for more than ten years now, so I can attest that it's definitely not necessary. One develops somewhat more elaborate ways of invoking things inside pagsh and then acquiring tokens and then scripts them, and then things are basically as convenient. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
