No, don't do that. > Or do I need to use 'bos delete' and 'bos create' to create the new > entry with the parameters I want? That's the official, most-supported way. Editing BosConfig directly works fine, too, if you're fine with shutting down the whole bosserver, but you need to shutdown bosserver _before_ editing it. That is: - shutdown bosserver (and makes sure nothing related is running) - edit BosConfig - startup bosserver If you screw up something and bosserver can't parse the new BosConfig, it'll fail to start up; that's why using 'bos create' instead can be considered "better", though it can be more cumbersome to use. There is another feature that allows you to make a new BosConfig while bosserver is still running, and bosserver will pick it up when you restart, but it's probably not enabled for you (you might predate that feature existing). You should probably set at least '-L -p 128' if you have no other options set. -L sets a few other options besides -p. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
