Hi folks, yesterday I've installed 1.4.6 from the precompiled rs_aix53.tar.gz tarball on an AIX 5.3 machine (client only first for testing). However during the next reboot, the start of AFS via /etc/rc.afs from within /etc/inittab failed.
afsd complained about not being able to read files from the configuration directory /usr/local/etc/openafs. That's true, because the machine has its AFS stuff in the Transarc style paths (i.e. config files in /usr/vice/etc) and the /usr/local/etc/openafs directory does not exist at all. I could get it going by adding "-confdir /usr/vice/etc" to the options for afsd in /etc/rc.afs, but still e.g. klog fails with "klog: error reading cell database Can't get local cell name!". I wonder whether it is intentional that the precompiled binaries obviously use different directories than the previous releases. Looking at the "strings" output for some of the 1.4.6 binaries for AIX, it seems that the new release has been built in default mode instead of Transarc mode. If this switch has been made by intention, then it should be noted somewhere IMHO. If this has happened by mistake, could then someone please provide an updated tarball? On a side note: It seems that the new stuff has been built with umask 077, thus permissions need to be adjusted after installation for world-readable/executable files (klog, tokens, etc.). It would be helpful if it could be built with umask 022 again (as before). Thanks.
