MacOS X window at startup

[Economou, Matthew [EESUS]]

I don't know how Finder treats symlinks, but I've set up my cell
such that all known cells' root.cell volumes are mounted under
/afs/external, with the cell names in /afs symlinked to the actual
mounts under /afs/external, e.g.:


        /afs/external/athena.mit.edu is the athena.mit.edu:root.cell volume
        /afs/athena.mit.edu is a symlink to the above


Under Unix and Windows, a detailed listing of the /afs directory
doesn't attempt to contact all the cells mounted there.  You might
mention this to your AFS administrator.  Here's the Bourne shell
script I used to create the mounts+symlinks in one pass:


    #!/bin/sh
    mkdir /afs/.root.afs/external
    for cell in `grep '^>' /etc/openafs/CellServDB \
                 | grep -v irtnog.org | awk '{print $1}'
                 | sed -e 's/>//'`; do
     fs mkm /afs/.root.afs/external/$cell root.cell -cell $cell -fast
     ln -s /afs/external/$cell /afs/.root.afs/$cell
    done
    vos release root.afs


Of course, you'd have to edit it for your site.

Subject: MacOS X window at startup




This is the 0.35.3 version on MacOS X.  After every login the afs 
directory window appears and begins trying to index all the machines in 
the afs directory.  Every time this happens I need to get into the 
terminal and rename /afs to regain control of the Finder.  Does anyone 
know what I would edit to prevent the window from trying to come up?


Thanks for any help,
Josh
