OpenAFS for Mac OS X

Install OpenAFS

Obtain the latest openAFS client for Mac OS X. A stable version is available from the following link for 10.5 Leopard.

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/openafs.html

Newer versions are available from http://www.openafs.org/macos.html for 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard.

You'll need to reboot after installing the client.


About OpenAFS

An open source implementation of the Andrew File System (AFS) protocol, including clients, servers and a virtual filesystem kernel driver. It integrates with the bundled Kerberos support in MacOS X to allow for a seamless user experience while accessing files in authenticated sessions.


Configure OpenAFS

The installer will setup the afs files in /var/db/openafs and set your machine to start afs on boot.

After restarting your system edit /var/db/openafs/etc/ThisCell. The file should contain a single line of text:

hcoop.net

The file initially is identical to ThisCell.sample so you don't need to make a backup copy before editing. The same holds true for CellServDB, it's the same as CellServDB.master.

Now you'll need to make sure the cells you want to use are listed in the CellServDB file. Add the following lines:

>hcoop.net
69.90.123.67                    #deleuze.hcoop.net
69.90.123.70                    #krunk.hcoop.net

Now reboot and try the configuration out.

Feel free to help out here, this is as far as we go. If you get something to work add some notes here
