That's not a problem if you're okay with that, but it may look a little funny; it's like having an email address like <[email protected]>. It also may be a little confusing, since if you ever have more than one server for the cell, afs/openafs.sri.utoronto.ca will be used by several servers with different FQDNs, not just openafs.sri. I haven't used IPA, but I assume you could create a host principal for sri.utoronto.ca and then just not use it, to get around that restriction. But that's not required. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
