On Linux by default you will be seeing a synthetic root volume (-dynroot) generated from CellServDB entries. If you want to create short names in a dynroot, you list them in the CellAlias file. (OpenAFS has manpages; `man CellAlias` should work to see the documentation.) Alternately you can turn off -dynroot in /etc/sysconfig/openafs, and you will get the same real root.afs.readonly that the AIX system sees. In both cases you will need to restart the OpenAFS client for the change to take effect. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
