I'm very unsure how to answer that question. First try: Because unauthenticated access to AFS means either using IP-based ACLs, which haven no encryption and have to be fiddled with every time web servers move data centers or renumber for some reason and which occasionally have other forms of odd problems, or opening the web content up to system:anyuser even if it requires authentication via .htaccess. Second try: One of the nice things about shared file systems is that they let lots of people put data into them without having to log on to a particular server. I mean, it seems to me to be such an obvious thing to do that I don't even know why it would surprise you. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
