(I apologize if you get this message twice; it did not appear to go through to info-afs the first time.) We are considering deploying AFS at our organization. In addition to Linux, Solaris, and Windows clients, we have to worry about Macs; specifically, MacOS 8.5, 9, and (soon) X. We can probably wait for the native OpenAFS client for OS X to stabilize. But we need to support MacOS 8.5 and 9 right away. I have searched the info-afs and netatalk-admins archives. I have browsed the UMich RSUG pages. I have stumbled onto AuthMan and the AuthMan UAM: http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/authman/ ...but some messages from the netatalk-admins archive suggest that AuthMan may not work with OS 8.5 and higher. I see a link to a slightly different version of the same tools at this URL: http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/mackerb.html However, I am not even sure AuthMan/AuthMan UAM are what I need. So my question is this: What is the best way to provide access to AFS for Macs? What software do I need, and where should I obtain it? Is the 1.5 prerelease of netatalk at http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/ suitable? What do most organizations with AFS and Macs do? (Note: In our environment, we do not particularly mind sending cleartext passwords over the network. And we do not care about any services except AFS. So Kerberos on Mac is not a requirement; a version of netatalk which simply used the cleartext password to get AFS tokens would be fine.)
