[OpenAFS] 2 Nics

[Thomas Heun]

Hi all,


I had some problems installing openafs on a machine with 2 network cards 
runnning Linux Suse 7.3. The 2nd card is used to provide a backbone to 
another server.

Well I found, that AFS was always using the wrong address and name, even 
so I told it otherwise in the installation.


After installation without the second card being activated, all was 
running fine, except the Afs time service. It tried again to use the 
wrong ip address

Well then, in the end I gave up and added another entry in the router, 
which redirects all "wrong" requests to another router, which is the afs 
machine first ip address.


I assume, that 2 Nics, which normally identifies a machine as a router 
is very rare. Well than, I had some trouble caused by this.

The only question I have: Why do I have do "edit" the configuration 
file, which says, what is my first AFS machine Name, if the software is 
not using it?
