You are using a Kerberos 5 KDC, which is the recommended way, and replaces the kaserver. So, most of the stuff on that page doesn't apply to you. The very last section on the page makes a very brief reference to this. > It appears to be in the current admin guide, which is linked in the > "documentation" page on the OpenAFS site. > > Now admittedly I'm an AFS noob and I've barely scratched the surface > of AFS configuration and capabilities.

The Quick Start Guide and manpages are more likely to be useful. Note that the specific question you're asking is more of a Kerberos question than an AFS one, so I don't know if your question is addressed anywhere else in our documentation. That's not to say it shouldn't be there, though; if/when you figure out what's wrong (I would look at Ben's response), feel free to suggest a place where you think such information should go. Normally I'd welcome you to propose changes to that page or the Admin Guide in general, so the next person to come by doesn't ask the very same question. However, given the state of the Admin Guide, that's probably quite a lot to ask to someone who's new to AFS. (If you want to contribute or suggest anything, though, we certainly still welcome anything.) I do question the value of having the Admin Guide on the website at all, if my understanding above is correct... I'm not sure how much information vs misinformation is tends to provide. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
