I believe you meant to say the new afs server uses rxkad-k5+kdf. If you have deployed non-DES keys to Cell B, then you cannot move the fileserver from Cell A to Cell B unless you first upgrade the fileserver to a version of OpenAFS that supports rxkad-k5+kdf. >> >> AFS servers do not know or care about the realms.

There is nothing that prevents someone from implementing this feature in OpenAFS. > Whats up with the release of OpenAFS 1.8 ? The most recent status report on 1.8 was sent to the openafs-devel mailing list on Sept 15th. http://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2016-September/020355.html Since then several of the remaining blocking work items have been merged into the source tree. There are still several non-blocking items that require additional review. Gerrit item https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/12393/ will be used for development of the NEWS file for the first pre-release.
