Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : kafs-client Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : David Howells <showe...@redhat.com> * URL : https://www.infradead.org/~dhowells/kafs/kafs_client.html * License : GPL V2 Programming Lang: C, Python 3 Description : User space tools for the kafs kernel module
The kafs-client package provides a user space interface to the kernel support for the OpenAFS file system. The support is a work in progress and the initial package includes basic tools for kAFS and mounter for the AFS dynamic root. The package includes klog-afs that is used to get an authentication ticket from Kerberos that can be used by the in-kernel AFS filesystem (kAFS) to perform authenticated and encrypted accesses to the server. Without this only unencrypted anonymous accesses can be made. I am not a Debian developer, but I am in the process of building a Debian kafs-client package for personal use.
