Arla on OS X 10.2.1: success with klog!

[Massimo Marino]

I have Arla AFS working allright (no ArlaConfiguration GUI though). The way it suddenly started to work was somewhat twisted.

A colleague showed me he had OpenAFS running on OS X 10.2.1 with a very simply modification: copy kmodstat from 10.1.5 installation of OpenAFS into /usr/bin for OS 10.2.1 . He showed me: worked. OpenAFS is ok for desktop and fixed IP solution. On laptops it is a pain.

Anyway: tried on my installation. OpenAFS was working indeed and with 'klog'. It is not aborting as with Arla. Weird. A which klog shows I have it (after OpenAFS installation) on /usr/bin so it is not the one I was using out of /usr/arla/bin with only Arla installed.

Just for the heck of it I restarted the Ti WITHOUT OpenAFS, started arla using 'startarla' and issued a klog: BINGO. Works fine and I got my tickets.

Now the ball is in your camp (Arla developers). Arla works: it is its own klog which is apparently broken. Using the klog from OpenAFS fixed the (/usr/arla/bin/)klog abort problem.

Cheers

K,

I made it work: got tokens and my afs cell up and running with full access. Running now for an emergency: will post how : will make you wonder (and maybe laugh!!!)

Hi,

I just installed kth-krb 1.2 and arla 0.35.10pre5 (with
--krb4=/usr/athena and --disable-mmap) on my MacOS X 10.2.1 (aka
darwin 6.1) machine and it seems to work, except that I can not get a
token:

Well, I guess I actually got a token:

,----

However arla doesn't seem to notice that:

,----
| [knauel at albert ~] /usr/arla/bin/tokens
|
| Tokens held by Arla:
|
|    --End of list--
`----

Is kalog the right command to fetch my token? There is also a 'aklog'
which always quits with an error message ("/usr/arla/bin/aklog: Failed
getting tokens for cell informatik.uni-tuebingen.de."). I have a
'klog' command if I compile arla without '--disable-mmap', which fails
too.

I'm a bit confused by all these klogs, which one is the right one? ;-)
How do they differ?

Ciao,
Eric
