Arla on OS X 10.2.1: success with klog!

kalog is missing from builds 0.35.10pre4 and pre5! klog is still around but broken in pre4 (I haven't checked in pre5) Max's solution uses the klog from OpenAFS and yields the only way to use Arla on an OSX10.2 machine.

Interestingly, I have done something similar, used the klog from an earlier build of Arla (perhaps pre2?) to get my tokens. It is not broken. Perhaps Max's solution and or mine gives the developers some place to look to begin fixing the klog in >=pre4.

did you try "kalog" ?

More on that:

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.

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:

,----

| Getting ticket for knauel at informatik.uni-tuebingen.de
| Password:
| /usr/arla/bin/kalog: failed inserting tokens for cell
informatik.uni-tuebingen.de
`----

Well, I guess I actually got a token:

,----
| [knauel at albert ~] /usr/athena/bin/klist
| Ticket file:    /tmp/tkt5324
| Principal:      knauel at INFORMATIK.UNI-TUEBINGEN.DE

`----

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
