We are running openafs 1.4.0 with Linux clients. I want to script a process for shutdown time so that the dot files from the Linux $HOME directory are copied to the user's openafs space. But I can't figure how to ask openafs "where is that user's space?".
Sounds dangerous. Usually a user update their .dot files at their own discretion. But you are going to update them when a sysadmin shuts down a machine? A user on another machine might get surprised. I assume you copied them from AFS to the local machine at some time, how did you find them? You could have local convention that there is a symlink in the user's "Linux" $HOME" directory pointing to their "openafs space".
Why this is a problem: Our open afs system has users created in subgroups, as in pols616/fred pols616/jane and pols909/bill pols909/jaime Users authenticate and they can find these things under /afs/ku.edu/usr/pols. If everybody were under the same directory, it would be easy. -- Paul E.
