[OpenAFS] client without a server

[klaas hagemann]

Hello (or Hallo ;-) ) Helmut,

you can start the afs-client without an afs-server as far as i can see it.
But feel free to correct my.
You just cannot use any functions of the afs-client.
The pam-afs Modul you are using uses these functions .

So you should change your /etc/pam.d/login like this:

login auth       requisite  pam_securetty.so
login auth       sufficient   pam_unix.so
login auth        required pam_afs.so debug try_first_pass ignore_root
login auth       optional   pam_group.so
login account    requisite  pam_time.so
login account    required   pam_unix.so
login password   required   pam_cracklib.so retry=3
login password   required   pam_unix.so shadow md5 use_authtok
login session    required   pam_unix.so

So the login-session will be terminatet, if the pam_unix is sufficient.
To make this usefull, users should have a different password in afs then on
the unix-box (otherwise it won't get to pam_afs.so).
