[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Re: port-darwin digest, Vol 1 #18 - 3 msgs

[Aaron Rosenblum]

I have been playing with Arla on MacOS 10.1.  It builds with kth-krb, 
but not with MIT KfM.  MIT KfM 4.0 is now the official kerberos 
implementation on MacOS X and to get Arla to work with KfM one needs to 
build it with a library called krbafs.  Unfortunately (to my knowledge) 
it appears that 'krbafs' has not been updated in a matter of years, and 
thus is not aware of MacOS X in the configure script.  There may be some 
other issues as well.

here is the page for krb-afs:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/andrew2/dist/krbafs.html

It appears to be maintained at CMU.

Does anyone know the status of this piece of code, and if anyone is 
working on getting it running on MacOS 10.1?

  It would seem that once this happens, Arla will function on MacOS 10.1 
with the built in KfM.  Users would then be able to use the kerberos 
login authenticator to log into a MacOS 10.1 box and maintain their Home 
directory on AFS, thus allowing MacOS 10.1 to work in a lab environment.
