You might want to have a look at InstantAFS http://fbo.no-ip.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Instantafs/WebHome InstantAFS is a set of Scripts, Perl-Modules, printable Documentation and lots of backported/modified packages incl. prepackaged linux-kernels. I'm using it to maintain the AFS cell at a Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany. At the request of my employer - printable documentation and the homepage is german only but the libraries/scripts are documented in english. There's a script 'instantafs.setup' which should setup a working AFS-cell (incl MIT-Kerberos5, DNS, NTP, Samba-Gateway, User-management, "virtual Tape"-Backup, example AFS-users, RPC-infrastructure and a special NSS-service (*) ) by entering the important information into some "dialog"-dialogs. (*) libnss-ptdb - a libc-nss-plugin which gets user/uid/homedir-information from PTDB directly I didn't have that much time recently so I don't know if the setup-script is still working perfectly (I don't start that much cells a day, too ;-) ). It is intended to run on Debian Woody, Sarge and Sid.
