That documentation may need revising. In any case, Debian users ought to take a look at /usr/share/doc/openafs-*/ for distribution-specific guidance. I mentioned /usr/sbin/afs-newcell; you can either trust it blindly and run it, or use it as documentation, read it and ponder. > > > (I didn't have internal DNS in my net.

I believe you're asking for trouble if the gethost*() and the CellServDB views of things don't match. AFS is a network file system, so I'm pretty sure that 127.0.0.1 is not going to be a useful address for your server. > I only need AFS to share files in a server cluster... > is needed to user Kerberos or something like this?

Might be OK for a closed cluster, though.) If you want No File Security, you should be using NFS. It may well give you better performance, too, although a lot depends on the size of the cluster and the I/O patterns you'll be dealing with. You can of course use IP-based ACLs (or even a horror like "system:anyuser rwlidka"), but you do need at least a keyfile and a few PTS database entries. Anyway, you did ask where the kaserver was. [I see I'll have to cc: the list on this one. Sometimes I avoid it, since my posts to the list have to go through the moderator, which results in unpredictable delays.] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
