Hi, I am trying to bring some linux boxes into an AFS infrastructure and we will likely have several major versions of RedHat linux environments (and possibly even some non-redhat systems in the future) in the infrastructure at any given time. (For now, all intel compatible cpus).
The default sysname when building openafs on linux follows the standard arch_os, e.g. i386_linux22 or i386_linux24. I had been using the latter for some RedHat 7.x systems, but am about to put in some RedHat 8/9 systems, and while these are still using a 2.4.x kernel, there has been a major version change in glibc. A search of web found an archival message acknowledging this issue (https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2000-November/000060.html), but that was a while ago and did not actually resolve the issue. I know I can change the sysname during compilation, and will probably just add a _rh8, etc. suffix, unless there seems to be a consensus on the "proper" naming for linux, as it depends on more than just the kernel version (at least glibc, and possibly some other libraries). How are others dealing with this issue?
