Hi
We are in the process of designing new OpenAFS cell and need your suggestions.
I got stuck with providing Windows 95 , ME and OS/2 users access to OpenAFS cell. We decided to use Samba as gateway. Compiled samba with "--with-afs" option and installed. Testing failed with errors.
Then we decided to appraoch with PAM, like Compile Samba with PAM enable and Install OpenAFS client on samba with PAM integrated enabled. Theoritically it sounds good but don't have any procedure to implement. I am novice to Samba. Aybody using Samba in OpenAFS environment? Please shed some light on this.... Any usggestion will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

We don't try to use samba-afs we just use samba w /pam by itself. We use pam module (pam_afs.so.1) for authenticating.
The next problem for us was providing path info with uid to user dirs. We do this using ldap. Our gateway servers basically think that they are running with an enormous passwd file and authing to the afs database.
