! Hostname
[AFS] requires that the hostname of your server resolve via DNS correctly. Make sure this is the case before you get too far down the line, or else you'll hit weird problems that occur for no apparent reason.
+
+! Kernel
+
+[AFS] seems to really dislike linux 2.4.20. I've not tried it on a more recent kernel (not even a pre21 kernel). It does seem to work ok with 2.4.18 however. Make sure you have a kernel that works before continuing, or else things will fail for no good reason!
!! Installing [AFS]
-...
+! Installing the packages:
+
+In debian, install the following: openafs-dbserver openafs-krb5 openafs-client
+
+Your cellname should be your lower-case DNS name, eg element
.tla
+Your DBServer for AFS should be the dns name of the machine you are installing on currently!
+
+
+! Setting up Kerberos
+
+Run the following commands:
+ kadmin
.local -e des-cbs-crc:v4
+ addprinc -randkey afs
+ ktadd -k /tmp/afs
.keytab afs
+ quit
+ kadmin.local
+ addprinc root
+ (enter passowrds)
+ quit
+ asetkey add 3 /tmp/afs.keytab afs
+
+! Partitions
+
+Make sure you have a partition created and mounted at /vicepa. If you cant do this with a real partition, make a loopback one as follows:
+
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/openafs/vicepa bs=1024k count=32
+ mke2fs /var/lib/openafs/vicepa
+ mount -oloop /var/lib/openafs /vicepa
+
+! Set up the cell
+
+The debian packages, at least, come with a script to do all this for you:
+ afs-newcell
+
+! Set up the root volume:
+There is also a script to to this:
+ afs-rootvol
