This is going to sounds really dumb to all of you "in the know"

but here goes... What is the difference between using AFS with

kerberos, and without? It is my _basic_ understanding that AFS

uses the same or similar methods to authenticate users. So what

I am guessing is that the difference is that it can be incorporated

if a kerberos system ius already in place. ie, you don't _need_

kerberos.

If the above assuption about not _needing_ kerberos is true, are

their any benefits to using AFS _with_ kerberos?

Also I want to set up AFS to do authentication and LDAP to

handle authorization. Are their any real caveats to doing this?

I am posting any questions directly redarding setting ldap up to

the openldap list as it doesn't have anything to do with this list

obviously, but if someone has/is doing this, I'd appreciate any info

you can give me.

Thanks!
