Using the shared filesystem involves a combination of LDAP, Kerberos, and OpenAFS. DavorOcelic might fill in more information here. :-)

= File conventions =

The `/afs` tree contains shared filesystems. `/afs/hcoop.net` (symlinked from `/afs/hcoop` as well) is our piece of the AFS-o-sphere. Subdirectories include:

 * `/afs/hcoop.net/usr`, the home of home directories
 * `/afs/hcoop.net/common/etc`, the home of non-platform-specific fun stuff like DomTool

= Connecting to AFS from an HCoop server =

On our servers, it seems sufficient to run:
{{{kinit
aklog}}}

These should be run automatically if you log in normally, but admins `sudo`ing around to different users seem to need to run `aklog` manually to access AFS.
