It's pretty easy to make a supergroup if it's turned on; you may not realize it's a specific feature to turn on. Once you have done so, your ptdb is now incompatible with ptservers without supergroups enabled. But it's got to be turned on _sometime_. I think the current hesitation has something to do with that I keep getting told the supergroups code is awful and unmaintainable, and should be rewritten before made the default. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
