[OpenAFS-devel] automatically spawning afsd from kernelspace?

[Jim Rees]

I've never understood why the init scripts are so complicated.  Here is the
OpenBSD init script:

rm -f /usr/vice/etc/openbsd_afs
/sbin/modload -o /usr/vice/etc/openbsd_afs /usr/vice/etc/libafs.o 
/usr/vice/etc/afsd -nosettime -fakestat
/usr/vice/bin/fs setcrypt on

If you want to change the options you edit the script.  That's at least as
easy as editing an options file, and easier to understand.

I'm currently trying to get OpenAFS going on Ubuntu, and getting everything
to build was much easier than getting the init scripts to run.
