[OpenAFS] Time on AFS-cell

[ted creedon]

NTP needs to run on all servers and workstations, use the real ntp not =
the
one bundled with AFS. Use the --nosettime switch to disable ntp in the =
AFS
server.

To keep your ISP happy, suggest pointing one or two AFS servers at 2 of =
the
the nearest Cicso routers and point the remainder of the local boxes at =
the
AFS servers (typically time should come from at least 2 servers in case =
one
fails).

The standard max time skew in AFS is 5 min. (its actually Kerberos that
requires it). You'll be within less than a second.

Hi, it's me again...

Now a question about time in the AFS cell.
My partner here told me, in the AFS cell should only one database-server
enabled ntp, all other should have ntp disabled.
Now I assume, if all clients has ntp enabled, all client has the same =
time
and so they are snyced with the AFS-cell-time.
But we see here some time-shifts on clients.
So, what's the best way with OpenAFS 1.3.74++ ?

And another quick: in RedHat packages, where can I find the option for
memcache and for diasable the AFS time?

Thx so far
Lars Schimmer
