Steve, thanks!! that worked...
loging in works too, almost after the vos release the user directory got created/mounted in/on the afs/csc.depauw.edu/home directory too. the only problem I seem to have at this point is : at the afs server that holds the cell : Could not chdir to home directory /home/cowboy: No such file or directory at a machine that mounts the cell : Could not chdir to home directory /home/cowboy: Permission denied when I look in the directories...it seems it is there, it even looks like the owner and groups are ok too. thanks, Ron >What is the name of the volume that holds the mountpoint? ie, >/afs/.csc.depauw.edu/home/ ?
