[OpenAFS-devel] openAFS for Windows_9x

[Shyh-Wei Luan]

Derrick already answered your question (1).   Answer to question (2) may be
that the 9x client was using port 750 and the server did not listen to this
port.  Usually the AFS authentication servers (kaserver) listen on both
port 88 and port 750.   But some of them may fail to do so.  For example, I
know that AIX servers have to change their /etc/services file to allow port
750 to be used by kaserver.   You can check with your server admin to find
out whether this was the case.  Or you can try yourself by changing the
port number (from 750 to 88) for Kerberos in your "Windows\services" file
on your Win9x machine.

A patch needed for the AIX /etc/services file.

Subject:  [OpenAFS-devel] openAFS for Windows_9x



Hi,

i have installed AFS for Windows 9x on my Win98 Laptop.

I have logins to two afs cells: ipp-garching.mpg.de and
mpa-garching.mpg.de.

I'm conected to the world within the mpa-network and can reach all
machines.

For ipp-garching.mpg.de all works fine.

for the mpa-garching.mpg.de cell i get an timeout during the
authentification:
Unable to authenticate to AFS because: 'Authentication Server was
unavailable'

So here my questions:
1) Why is the mpa cell not longer in the CellServerDB (openAFS 1.1.1a) ?
   In 1.0.4 it was. I added the entries to the CellServerDB and checke,
that ping to
   the IPs work. Offcourse before i added the cell to the CellServDB i
got an
   timeout when "Enable AFS Client Console".
2) As i can connect to the afs-databas-server (via ping/ssh) in the mpa
cell,
   and openAFS works well with the ipp cell, how can i check what the
problem
   during the conection is ? Could there be a configuration problem on
the
   Serverside ?

I attached the log file.

Thanks in advance,

Klaus Dolag
