A topic related to the discussion about "homes" in AFS. In my long experience with CAP and Netatalk I experienced a variety of problems bridging between AFP (Apple File Sharing). Did anybody look into using a Mac OS X server with OpenAFS to make the bridge.
Can the OS X "afpd" generate the capabilities for accessing and serving files out of OpenAFS. This would be a great capability. Best regards Tom PS: Successfully using OpenAFS on my Mac OS X machine also requires that all numerical "userids" are defined on my local machines. I observed many glitches when I use one account to login and a different numerical userid to generate an AFS token for. This does not work properly in the MacOS X finder. Commandline was ok. So generating the corresponding userid entries for each user with a home in AFS probably needs to be done in additon to generating tokens with PAM. The problem looks tricky and requires certainly a lot of dedication to do it right and without glitches. The solution is of a big importance for many educational institution who use campus wide home-directories in AFS and want to go for Mac OS X machine participating! _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
