Hello Friends i am a newbie and i need to install open afs on my scientific
linux machine!
i would like to know if there is any binary distribution available for
scientific linux??
On the webpage of Open afs documentation is available for installation using
the Binary version
If there sis no binary binary version available for scientific linux then is
it advisale to install from source ?
if yes do we need to create all the afa related directories like
/usr/afs
/usr/vice
/usr/vice/etc
thanks in advance
warm regards
gaurav
