Installation of AFS clients

Find notes for use of apt at CERN in

http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific3/docs/install.shtml

> apt-get install openafs

> apt-get install openafs-client

message printed out by apt:

The AFS cache is configured for 100 MB. Edit the /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo file to change this before running AFS for the first time. You should also set your home cell in /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell.

Also, you may want to edit /etc/pam.d/login and possibly others there to get an AFS token on login.
Put the line:

auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_afs.so try_first_pass ignore_root

before the one for pwdb.

Done.

> vi /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell

and insert

cern.ch

i.e.

> cat /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell

cern.ch

> apt-get install lcm

> apt-get install kernel-module-openafs-2.4.21-37.EL.cernsmp

(check the most recent version of the kernel!!!!)

> /usr/sbin/lcm --configure afsclt

>/sbin/chkconfig --add afs

>/sbin/service afs start
