As fas as I know, with Windows XP SP2, OpenAFS for Windows >1.5.28 and OpenAFS fileservers 1.4.6 I don't need most of that stuff. Oh, Compatible RUPSecurity set active, right. I was told, it is ok, to set the path of user profile in Windows AD2003 Server to \\afs\cgv.tugraz.at\home\user\win.profile and it works. Yes, we don't use freelance mode and our cell is in distributed cellservDB. Config of OpenAFS msi is to set default cell to ourr and use automatic logon to obtain ticket/tokens while login into AD. So far it works with our users. Maybe I miss some big point or your information is just kind aoutdated? Although the redirected folder option indeed looks nice. Need to test this. Over all, sry, not much time to get in detail now... > Enjoy, > > Rodney > Lars Schimmer - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------- TU Graz, Institut für ComputerGraphik & WissensVisualisierung Tel: +43 316 873-5405 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: +43 316 873-5402 PGP-Key-ID: 0x4A9B1723 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHsDAomWhuE0qbFyMRAqgmAKCBR/pfJQp/IeW64fxOSvwdvND3RwCfcVgQ hG33a8qZ6+fpWTMZ6LKl/hw= =txEh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
