Hi Ted, The feature Jeff described, in which the bosserver creates a default cell configuration if it is missing, is not a new feature. It's been present since OpenAFS 1.0. Basically, the bosserver will create a ThisCell/CellServDB file with default values if they are not present. Perhaps something else is setting those default values. Are you running some scripts or something else? By the way, the -noauth flag isn't normally needed any longer for setting up a new cell. It was useful back in the kaserver days, since you needed -noauth to create the service keys with kaserver, but in a modern setup, you do not need -noauth if you set the service key before you start the bosserver. You can set the key with asetkey before running the bosserver. However, one minor complication; in the current releases (and master) asetkey does require the cell configuration to be present (CellServDB/ThisCell). They can be default values for asetkey. You can do the following: 1. Create default ThisCell/CellServDB files in the path the servers expect. 2. Use asetkey to create the KeyFile/KeyFileEx 3. Start the bosserver (without -noauth) 4. Run authenticated bos to setup the cellname, hosts, and superusers Thanks, Mike -- Michael Meffie <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
