Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Superb software from my own (somewhat limited) experience. For back up at home, I work between it and FreeBSD/Samba. And I just recently discovered that OpenAFS 1.6 has apparently been tested and working (or, parts of it) on FreeBSD, so I may take a shot at that next since I love FreeBSD. Right now my OpenAFS server is running on Debian. The only other problem I've had with that so far is with fsck. I wound up disabling automatic fsck on my AFS share because it kept choking at startup (I never pursued this because it fixed my immediate issue, but I think disabling fsck is not recommended. And I scanned the disk and it didn't show any errors).
Anyway, thanks again! -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 6/27/13, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: OpenAFS-info digest, Vol 1 #6063 - 3 msgs To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, June 27, 2013, 12:01 PM Send OpenAFS-info mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of OpenAFS-info digest..."

Regarding your question about OpenAFS info on token lifetime, I found it on this page by Googling "openafs token lifetime": http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/HDRWQ63.html See about 3/4 of the way down the page: "setting default token lifetimes for users". 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. I should add that I don't administer any AFS production servers, just a hobby, although I do work in IT. --__--__-- Message: 2 To: [email protected] From: Andrew Deason <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2013 18:55:50 -0500 Organization: Sine Nomine Associates Subject: [OpenAFS] Re: Token Lifetime On Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:34:50 -0700 (PDT) J <[email protected]> wrote: > Regarding your question about OpenAFS info on token lifetime, I found > it on this page by Googling "openafs token lifetime": > > http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/HDRWQ63.html Yes, that page is talking about a kaserver environment. 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.

From what I recall, large portions of the Admin Guide are really outdated, and you may just want to avoid it entirely. 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] --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:40:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Benjamin Kaduk <[email protected]> To: Andrew Deason <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OpenAFS] Re: Token Lifetime On Wed, 26 Jun 2013, Andrew Deason wrote: > I do question the value of having the Admin Guide on the website at all, > if my understanding above is correct...

If memory serves, though, there are a few parts which have useful information gathered together that is not present in a reasonable location (elsewhere). -Ben --__--__-- _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info End of OpenAFS-info Digest _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
