|
|
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
|
|
<P>The server version of the <B>ThisCell</B> file defines the complete
|
|
Internet domain-style name (for example, <B>abc.com</B>) of the
|
|
cell to which the server machine belongs. It must reside in the
|
|
<B>/usr/afs/etc</B> directory on every AFS server machine.
|
|
<P>The file is in ASCII format and contains a character string on a single
|
|
line. The initial version of the file is created with the <B>bos
|
|
setcellname</B> command during the installation of the cell's first
|
|
file server machine, and the <I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I> includes
|
|
instructions for copying it over to additional server machine during their
|
|
installation.
|
|
<P>The only reason to edit the file is as part of changing the cell's
|
|
name, which is strongly discouraged because of the large number of
|
|
configuration changes involved. In particular, changing the cell name
|
|
requires rebuilding the entire Authentication Database, because the
|
|
Authentication Server combines the cell name it finds in this file with each
|
|
user and server password and converts the combination into an encryption key
|
|
before recording it in the Database.
|
|
<P>The server version of the <B>ThisCell</B> file is distinct from the
|
|
client version, which resides in the <B>/usr/vice/etc</B> directory on
|
|
each AFS client machine. If a server machine also runs as a client, it
|
|
is acceptable for the server and client versions of the file on the same
|
|
machine to name different cells. However, the behavior that results
|
|
from this configuration can be more confusing than useful.
