That's not really a satisfying solution. I'm forced to use the root account, since I chroot into an AFS directory, which is the root directory on a server using AFS mounted clients (for network boot). Files created by root should be owned by root immediately. How do others handle this? I really can not imagine, that I am the only one using such a configuration. -- Preisknaller: GMX DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
