<title>Choosing the First AFS Machine</title>
<para>The first AFS machine you install must have sufficient disk space to store AFS volumes. To take best advantage of AFS's
capabilities, store client-side binaries as well as user files in volumes. When you later install additional file server
machines in your cell, you can distribute these volumes among the different machines as you see fit.</para>
<para>These instructions configure the first AFS machine as a <emphasis>database server machine</emphasis>, the <emphasis>binary
distribution machine</emphasis> for its system type, and the cell's <emphasis>system control machine</emphasis>. For a
description of these roles, see the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Installation of additional machines is simplest if the first machine has the lowest IP address of any database server
machine you currently plan to install. If you later install database server functionality on a machine with a lower IP address,
you must first update the <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis> file on all of your cell's client machines.

<para>Configure server partitions or logical volumes to house AFS volumes.</para>
<para>Every AFS file server machine must have at least one partition or logical volume dedicated to storing AFS volumes
(for convenience, the documentation hereafter refers to partitions only). Each server partition is mounted at a directory
named <emphasis role="bold">/vicep</emphasis><replaceable>xx</replaceable>, where <replaceable>xx</replaceable> is one or
two lowercase letters. By convention, the first 26 partitions are mounted on the directories called <emphasis
role="bold">/vicepa</emphasis> through <emphasis role="bold">/vicepz</emphasis>, the 27th one is mounted on the <emphasis
role="bold">/vicepaa</emphasis> directory, and so on through <emphasis role="bold">/vicepaz</emphasis> and <emphasis

supported in the current version of AFS (which is specified in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Release Notes</emphasis>).</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">/vicep</emphasis><replaceable>xx</replaceable> directories must reside in the file server
machine's root directory, not in one of its subdirectories (for example, <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vicepa</emphasis> is
not an acceptable directory location).</para>
<para>You can also add or remove server partitions on an existing file server machine. For instructions, see the chapter
in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about maintaining server machines.</para>
<note>
<para>Not all file system types supported by an operating system are necessarily supported as AFS server partitions. For
possible restrictions, see the <emphasis>OpenAFS Release Notes</emphasis>.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>On some system types, install and configure a modified <emphasis role="bold">fsck</emphasis> program which
recognizes the structures that the File Server uses to organize volume data on AFS server partitions. The <emphasis
role="bold">fsck</emphasis> program provided with the operating system does not understand the AFS data structures, and so
removes them to the <emphasis role="bold">lost+found</emphasis> directory.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If the machine is to remain an AFS client machine, modify the machine's authentication system so that users obtain
an AFS token as they log into the local file system. Using AFS is simpler and more convenient for your users if you make
the modifications on all client machines. Otherwise, users must perform a two or three step login procedure (login to the local
system, then obtain Kerberos credentials, and then issue the <emphasis role="bold">aklog</emphasis> command). For further discussion of AFS
authentication, see the chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about cell configuration and
administration issues.</para>

<para>The AIX kernel extension facility is the dynamic kernel loader

AFS modifications during a kernel build.</para>
<para>For AFS to function correctly, the kernel extension facility must run each time the machine reboots, so the AFS
initialization script (included in the AFS distribution) invokes it automatically. In this section you copy the script to the
conventional location and edit it to select the appropriate options depending on whether NFS is also to run.</para>
<para>After editing the script, you run it to incorporate AFS into the kernel. In later sections you verify that the script
correctly initializes all AFS components, then configure the AIX <emphasis role="bold">inittab</emphasis> file so that the
script runs automatically at reboot. <orderedlist>

</note>
<para>At this point you incorporate AFS into the operating system's
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) scheme. PAM integrates all
authentication mechanisms on the machine, including login, to provide
the security infrastructure for authenticated access to and from the
machine.</para>
<para>You should first configure your system to obtain Kerberos v5
tickets as part of the authentication process, and then run an AFS PAM
module to obtain tokens from those tickets after authentication. Many
Linux distributions come with a Kerberos v5 PAM module (usually called
pam-krb5 or pam_krb5), or you can download and install <ulink
url="http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/pam-krb5">Russ Allbery's
Kerberos v5 PAM module</ulink>, which is tested regularly with AFS.
See the instructions of whatever PAM module you use for how to
configure it.</para>
<para>Some Kerberos v5 PAM modules do come with native AFS support
(usually requiring the Heimdal Kerberos implementation rather than the
MIT Kerberos implementation). If you are using one of those PAM
modules, you can configure it to obtain AFS tokens. It's more common,
however, to separate the AFS token acquisition into a separate PAM
module.</para>
<para>The recommended AFS PAM module is <ulink
url="http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/pam-afs-session/">Russ
Allbery's pam-afs-session module</ulink>. It should work with any of
the Kerberos v5 PAM modules. To add it to the PAM configuration, you
often only need to add configuration to the session group:</para>
<example>
<title>Linux PAM session example</title>
<literallayout>session required pam_afs_session.so</literallayout>
</example>
<para>If you also want to obtain AFS tokens for <command>scp</command>
and similar commands that don't open a session, you will also need to
add the AFS PAM module to the auth group so that the PAM
<function>setcred</function> call will obtain tokens. The
<literal>pam_afs_session</literal> module will always return success
for authentication so that it can be added to the auth group only for
<function>setcred</function>, so make sure that it's not marked as
<literal>sufficient</literal>.</para>
<example>
<title>Linux PAM auth example</title>
<literallayout>auth [success=ok default=1] pam_krb5.so
auth [default=done] pam_afs_session.so
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass</literallayout>
</example>
<para>This example will work if you want to try Kerberos v5 first and
then fall back to regular Unix authentication.
<literal>success=ok</literal> for the Kerberos PAM module followed by
<literal>default=done</literal> for the AFS PAM module will cause a
successful Kerberos login to run the AFS PAM module and then skip the
Unix authentication module. <literal>default=1</literal> on the
Kerberos PAM module causes failure of that module to skip the next
module (the AFS PAM module) and fall back to the Unix module. If you
want to try Unix authentication first and rearrange the order, be sure
to use <literal>default=die</literal> instead.</para>
<para>The PAM configuration is stored in different places in different
Linux distributions. On Red Hat, look in
<filename>/etc/pam.d/system-auth</filename>. On Debian and
derivatives, look in <filename>/etc/pam.d/common-session</filename>
and <filename>/etc/pam.d/common-auth</filename>.</para>
<para>For additional configuration examples and the configuration
options of the AFS PAM module, see its documentation. For more
details on the available options for the PAM configuration, see the
Linux PAM documentation.</para>

<para>At this point you incorporate AFS into the operating system's
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) scheme. PAM integrates all
authentication mechanisms on the machine, including login, to provide
the security infrastructure for authenticated access to and from the
machine.</para>
<para>Explaining PAM is beyond the scope of this document. It is
assumed that you understand the syntax and meanings of settings in the
PAM configuration file (for example, how the
<computeroutput>other</computeroutput> entry works, the effect of
marking an entry as <computeroutput>required</computeroutput>,
<computeroutput>optional</computeroutput>, or
<computeroutput>sufficient</computeroutput>, and so on).</para>
<para>You should first configure your system to obtain Kerberos v5
tickets as part of the authentication process, and then run an AFS PAM
module to obtain tokens from those tickets after authentication.
Current versions of Solaris come with a Kerberos v5 PAM module that
will work, or you can download and install <ulink
url="http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/pam-krb5">Russ Allbery's
Kerberos v5 PAM module</ulink>, which is tested regularly with AFS.
See the instructions of whatever PAM module you use for how to
configure it.</para>
<para>Some Kerberos v5 PAM modules do come with native AFS support
(usually requiring the Heimdal Kerberos implementation rather than the
MIT Kerberos implementation). If you are using one of those PAM
modules, you can configure it to obtain AFS tokens. It's more common,
however, to separate the AFS token acquisition into a separate PAM
module.</para>
<para>The recommended AFS PAM module is <ulink
url="http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/pam-afs-session/">Russ
Allbery's pam-afs-session module</ulink>. It should work with any of
the Kerberos v5 PAM modules. To add it to the PAM configuration, you
often only need to add configuration to the session group in
<filename>pam.conf</filename>:</para>
<example>
<title>Solaris PAM session example</title>
<literallayout>login session required pam_afs_session.so</literallayout>
</example>
<para>This example enables PAM authentication only for console login.
You may want to add a similar line for the ssh service and for any
other login service that you use, including possibly the
<literal>other</literal> service (which serves as a catch-all). You
may also want to add options to the AFS PAM session module
(particularly <literal>retain_after_close</literal>, which is
necessary for some versions of Solaris.</para>
<para>For additional configuration examples and the configuration
options of the AFS PAM module, see its documentation. For more
details on the available options for the PAM configuration, see the
<filename>pam.conf</filename> manual page.</para>
<para>Sites which still require <emphasis
role="bold">kaserver</emphasis> or external Kerberos v4 authentication
should consult <link linkend="KAS016">Enabling kaserver based AFS
Login on Solaris Systems"</link> for details of how to enable AFS
login on Solaris.</para>

<para>Some Solaris distributions include a script that locates and removes unneeded files from various file systems. Its
conventional location is <emphasis role="bold">/usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind</emphasis>. The script generally uses an argument
to the <emphasis role="bold">find</emphasis> command to define which file systems to search. In this step you modify the
command to exclude the <emphasis role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory. Otherwise, the command traverses the AFS
filespace of every cell that is accessible from the machine, which can take many hours. The following alterations are
possibilities, but you must verify that they are appropriate for your cell.</para>
<para>The first possible alteration is to add the <emphasis role="bold">-local</emphasis> flag to the existing command,
so that it looks like the following:</para>
<programlisting>
find $dir -local -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -mount -exec rm -f {} \;

<title>Starting the BOS Server</title>
<para>You are now ready to start the AFS server processes on this machine.
If you are not working from a packaged distribution, begin by copying the
AFS server binaries from the distribution to the conventional local disk
location, the <emphasis role="bold">/usr/afs/bin</emphasis> directory. The
following instructions also create files in other subdirectories of the
<emphasis role="bold">/usr/afs</emphasis> directory.</para>
<para>Then issue the <emphasis role="bold">bosserver</emphasis> command to initialize the Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server, which
monitors and controls other AFS server processes on its server machine. Include the <emphasis role="bold">-noauth</emphasis>
flag to disable authorization checking. Because you have not yet configured your cell's AFS authentication and authorization
mechanisms, the BOS Server cannot perform authorization checking as it does during normal operation. In no-authorization mode,
it does not verify the identity or privilege of the issuer of a <emphasis role="bold">bos</emphasis> command, and so performs
any operation for anyone.</para>
<para>Disabling authorization checking gravely compromises cell security. You must complete all subsequent steps in one
uninterrupted pass and must not leave the machine unattended until you restart the BOS Server with authorization checking
enabled, in <link linkend="HDRWQ72">Verifying the AFS Initialization Script</link>.</para>
<para>As it initializes for the first time, the BOS Server creates the following directories and files, setting the owner to the
local superuser <emphasis role="bold">root</emphasis> and the mode bits to limit the ability to write (and in some cases, read)
them. For a description of the contents and function of these directories and files, see the chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS

<para>If you are working with an existing cell which uses
<emphasis role="bold">kaserver</emphasis> or Kerberos v4 for authentication,
please see
<link linkend="HDRWQ53">Initializing Cell Security with kaserver</link>
for installation instructions which replace this section.</para>
<para>Now initialize the cell's security mechanisms. Begin by creating the following two entires in your site's Kerberos database: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A generic administrative account, called <emphasis role="bold">admin</emphasis> by convention. If you choose to
assign a different name, substitute it throughout the remainder of this document.</para>
<para>After you complete the installation of the first machine, you can continue to have all administrators use the
<emphasis role="bold">admin</emphasis> account, or you can create a separate administrative account for each of them. The
latter scheme implies somewhat more overhead, but provides a more informative audit trail for administrative
operations.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The entry for AFS server processes, called either
<emphasis role="bold">afs</emphasis> or
<emphasis role="bold">afs/<replaceable>cell</replaceable></emphasis>.
No user logs in under this identity, but it is used to encrypt the
server tickets that granted to AFS clients for presentation to
server processes during mutual authentication. (The
chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about cell configuration and administration describes the
role of server encryption keys in mutual authentication.)</para>
<para>In Step <link linkend="LIWQ58">7</link>, you also place the initial AFS server encryption key into the <emphasis
role="bold">/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</emphasis> file. The AFS server processes refer to this file to learn the server
encryption key when they need to decrypt server tickets.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>You also issue several commands that enable the new <emphasis role="bold">admin</emphasis> user to issue privileged
commands in all of the AFS suites.</para>
<para>The following instructions do not configure all of the security mechanisms related to the AFS Backup System. See the
chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about configuring the Backup System.</para>

<title>Creating the Client CellServDB File</title>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis> file on a client machine's local disk lists the database
server machines for each cell that the local Cache Manager can contact. If there is no entry in the file for a cell, or if the
list of database server machines is wrong, then users working on this machine cannot access the cell. The chapter in the
<emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about administering client machines explains how to maintain the file after
creating it.</para>
<para>As the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program initializes the Cache Manager, it copies the contents of the
<emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file into kernel memory. The Cache Manager always consults the list in kernel memory
rather than the <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file itself. Between reboots of the machine, you can use the
<emphasis role="bold">fs newcell</emphasis> command to update the list in kernel memory directly; see the chapter in the
<emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about administering client machines.</para>
<para>The AFS distribution includes the file
<emphasis role="bold">CellServDB.dist</emphasis>. It includes an entry for
all AFS cells that agreed to share their database server machine
information at the time the distribution was
created. The definitive copy of this file is maintained at
grand.central.org, and updates may be obtained from
/afs/grand.central.org/service/CellServDB or
<ulink url="http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB">
http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB</ulink></para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB.dist</emphasis> file can be a
good basis for the client <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file,
because all of the entries in it use the correct format. You can add or
remove cell entries as you see fit. Depending on your cache manager
configuration, additional steps (as detailed in
<link linkend="HDRWQ91">Enabling Access to Foreign Cells</link>) may be
required to enable the Cache Manager to actually reach the cells.</para>
<para>In this section, you add an entry for the local cell to the local <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file. The

<title>Configuring the Cache</title>
<para>The Cache Manager uses a cache on the local disk or in machine memory to store local copies of files fetched from file
server machines. As the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program initializes the Cache Manager, it sets basic cache
configuration parameters according to definitions in the local <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo</emphasis> file.
The file has three fields: <orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The first field names the local directory on which to mount the AFS filespace. The conventional location is the
<emphasis role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The second field defines the local disk directory to use for the disk cache. The conventional location is the
<emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/cache</emphasis> directory, but you can specify an alternate directory if another
partition has more space available. There must always be a value in this field, but the Cache Manager ignores it if the
machine uses a memory cache.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The third field specifies the number of kilobyte (1024 byte) blocks to allocate for the cache.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist></para>
<para>The values you define must meet the following requirements. <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>On a machine using a disk cache, the Cache Manager expects always to be able to use the amount of space specified in
the third field. Failure to meet this requirement can cause serious problems, some of which can be repaired only by
rebooting. You must prevent non-AFS processes from filling up the cache partition. The simplest way is to devote a
partition to the cache exclusively.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The amount of space available in memory or on the partition housing the disk cache directory imposes an absolute
limit on cache size.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The maximum supported cache size can vary in each AFS release; see the <emphasis>OpenAFS Release Notes</emphasis>
for the current version.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For a disk cache, you cannot specify a value in the third field that exceeds 95% of the space available on the
partition mounted at the directory named in the second field. If you violate this restriction, the <emphasis
role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program exits without starting the Cache Manager and prints an appropriate message on the
standard output stream. A value of 90% is more appropriate on most machines. Some operating systems (such as AIX) do not
automatically reserve some space to prevent the partition from filling completely; for them, a smaller value (say, 80% to
85% of the space available) is more appropriate.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For a memory cache, you must leave enough memory for other processes and applications to run. If you try to allocate
more memory than is actually available, the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program exits without initializing the
Cache Manager and produces the following message on the standard output stream. <programlisting>
afsd: memCache allocation failure at <replaceable>number</replaceable> KB
</programlisting></para>
<para>The <replaceable>number</replaceable> value is how many kilobytes were allocated just before the failure, and so
indicates the approximate amount of memory available.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>Within these hard limits, the factors that determine appropriate cache size include the number of users working on the
machine, the size of the files with which they work, and (for a memory cache) the number of processes that run on the machine.
The higher the demand from these factors, the larger the cache needs to be to maintain good performance.</para>
<para>Disk caches smaller than 10 MB do not generally perform well. Machines serving multiple users usually perform better with
a cache of at least 60 to 70 MB. The point at which enlarging the cache further does not really improve performance depends on
the factors mentioned previously and is difficult to predict.</para>
<para>Memory caches smaller than 1 MB are nonfunctional, and the performance of caches smaller than 5 MB is usually
unsatisfactory. Suitable upper limits are similar to those for disk caches but are probably determined more by the demands on
memory from other sources on the machine (number of users and processes). Machines running only a few processes possibly can use
a smaller memory cache.</para>

<title>Configuring the Cache Manager</title>
<para>By convention, the Cache Manager mounts the AFS filespace on the local <emphasis role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory. In
this section you create that directory.</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program sets several cache configuration parameters as it initializes the Cache
Manager, and starts daemons that improve performance. You can use the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> command's arguments
to override the parameters' default values and to change the number of some of the daemons. Depending on the machine's cache
size, its amount of RAM, and how many people work on it, you can sometimes improve Cache Manager performance by overriding the
default values. For a discussion of all of the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> command's arguments, see its reference page
in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Reference</emphasis>.</para>
<para>On platforms using the standard 'afs' initialisation script (this does not apply to Fedora or RHEL based distributions), the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> command line in the AFS initialization script on each system type includes an
<computeroutput>OPTIONS</computeroutput> variable. You can use it to set nondefault values for the command's arguments, in one
of the following ways: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You can create an <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> <emphasis>options file</emphasis> that sets values for
arguments to the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> command. If the file exists, its contents are automatically
substituted for the <computeroutput>OPTIONS</computeroutput> variable in the AFS initialization script. The AFS
distribution for some system types includes an options file; on other system types, you must create it.</para>
<para>You use two variables in the AFS initialization script to specify the path to the options file:
<computeroutput>CONFIG</computeroutput> and <computeroutput>AFSDOPT</computeroutput>. On system types that define a
conventional directory for configuration files, the <computeroutput>CONFIG</computeroutput> variable indicates it by
default; otherwise, the variable indicates an appropriate location.</para>
<para>List the desired <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> options on a single line in the options file, separating each
option with one or more spaces. The following example sets the <emphasis role="bold">-stat</emphasis> argument to 2500,

role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory when you ran the AFS initialization script in <link linkend="HDRWQ72">Verifying the AFS
Initialization Script</link>. You now set the access control list (ACL) on the <emphasis role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory;
creating, mounting, and setting the ACL are the three steps required when creating any volume.</para>
<para>After setting the ACL on the <emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> volume, you create your cell's <emphasis
role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume, mount it as a subdirectory of the <emphasis role="bold">/afs</emphasis> directory, and
set the ACL. Create both a read/write and a regular mount point for the <emphasis role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume. The
read/write mount point enables you to access the read/write version of replicated volumes when necessary. Creating both mount
points essentially creates separate read-only and read-write copies of your filespace, and enables the Cache Manager to traverse
the filespace on a read-only path or read/write path as appropriate. For further discussion of these concepts, see the chapter
in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about administering volumes. <indexterm>

<para>Then replicate both the <emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volumes.
This is required if you want to replicate any other volumes in your cell, because all volumes mounted above a replicated volume
must themselves be replicated in order for the Cache Manager to access the replica.</para>
<para>When the <emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> volume is replicated, the Cache Manager is programmed to access its
read-only version (<emphasis role="bold">root.afs.readonly</emphasis>) whenever possible. To make changes to the contents of the
<emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> volume (when, for example, you mount another cell's <emphasis
role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume at the second level in your filespace), you must mount the <emphasis
role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> volume temporarily, make the changes, release the volume and remove the temporary mount point.

<title>Storing System Binaries in AFS</title>
<para>You can also choose to store other system binaries in AFS volumes, such as the standard UNIX programs conventionally
located in local disk directories such as <emphasis role="bold">/etc</emphasis>, <emphasis role="bold">/bin</emphasis>, and
<emphasis role="bold">/lib</emphasis>. Storing such binaries in an AFS volume not only frees local disk space, but makes it
easier to update binaries on all client machines.</para>
<para>The following is a suggested scheme for storing system binaries in AFS. It does not include instructions, but you can use
the instructions in <link linkend="HDRWQ83">Storing AFS Binaries in AFS</link> (which are for AFS-specific binaries) as a
template.</para>
<para>Some files must remain on the local disk for use when AFS is inaccessible (during bootup and file server or network
outages). The required binaries include the following: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A text editor, network commands, and so on</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Files used during the boot sequence before the <emphasis role="bold">afsd</emphasis> program runs, such as
initialization and configuration files, and binaries for commands that mount file systems</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Files used by dynamic kernel loader programs</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>In most cases, it is more secure to enable only locally authenticated users to access system binaries, by granting the
<emphasis role="bold">l</emphasis> (<emphasis role="bold">lookup</emphasis>) and <emphasis role="bold">r</emphasis> (<emphasis
role="bold">read</emphasis>) permissions to the <emphasis role="bold">system:authuser</emphasis> group on the ACLs of
directories that contain the binaries. If users need to access a binary while unauthenticated, however, the ACL on its directory
must grant those permissions to the <emphasis role="bold">system:anyuser</emphasis> group.</para>
<para>The following chart summarizes the suggested volume and mount point names for storing system binaries. It uses a separate
volume for each directory. You already created a volume called <replaceable>sysname</replaceable> for this machine's system type
when you followed the instructions in <link linkend="HDRWQ83">Storing AFS Binaries in AFS</link>.</para>
<para>You can name volumes in any way you wish, and mount them at other locations than those suggested here. However, this
scheme has several advantages: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Volume names clearly identify volume contents</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Using the <replaceable>sysname</replaceable> prefix on every volume makes it is easy to back up all of the volumes
together, because the AFS Backup System enables you to define sets of volumes based on a string included in all of their
names</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>It makes it easy to track related volumes, keeping them together on the same file server machine if desired</para>

<title>Enabling Access to Foreign Cells</title>
<para>With current OpenAFS releases, there exist a number of mechanisms for
providing access to foreign cells. You may add mount points in your AFS
filespace for each foreign cell you wish users to access, or you can
enable a 'synthetic' AFS root, which contains mountpoints for either all
AFS cells defined in the client machine's local
<emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis>, or for all cells
providing location information in the DNS.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Enabling a Synthetic AFS root</title>
<para>When a synthetic root is enabled, the client cache machine creates its
own root.afs volume, rather than using the one provided with your cell. This
allows clients to access all cells in the
<emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file and, optionally, all cells
registered in the DNS, without requiring system administrator action to
enable this access. Using a synthetic root has the additional advantage that
it allows a client to start its AFS service without a network available, as
it is no longer necessary to contact a fileserver to obtain the root volume.
</para>
<para>OpenAFS supports two complimentary mechanisms for creating the
synthetic root. Starting the cache manager with the
<emphasis role="bold">-dynroot</emphasis> option adds all cells listed
in <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis> to the client's
AFS root. Adding the <emphasis role="bold">-afsdb</emphasis> option in
addition to this enables DNS lookups for any cells that are not found in
the client's CellServDB file. Both of these options are added to the AFS
initialisation script, or options file, as detailed in
<link linkend="HDRWQ70">Configuring the Cache Manager</link>.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Adding foreign cells to a conventional root volume</title>
<para>In this section you create a mount point in your AFS filespace for the <emphasis role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume
of each foreign cell that you want to enable your users to access. For users working on a client machine to access the cell,
there must in addition be an entry for it in the client machine's local <emphasis
role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis> file. (The instructions in <link linkend="HDRWQ66">Creating the Client
CellServDB File</link> suggest that you use the <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB.sample</emphasis> file included in the AFS
distribution as the basis for your cell's client <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file. The sample file lists all of
the cells that had agreed to participate in the AFS global namespace at the time your AFS CD-ROM was created. As mentioned in
that section, the AFS Product Support group also maintains a copy of the file, updating it as necessary.)</para>
<para>The chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about cell administration and configuration issues
discusses the implications of participating in the global AFS namespace. The chapter about administering client machines
explains how to maintain knowledge of foreign cells on client machines, and includes suggestions for maintaining a central
version of the file in AFS. <orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Issue the <emphasis role="bold">fs mkmount</emphasis> command to mount each foreign cell's <emphasis
role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume on a directory called <emphasis
role="bold">/afs/</emphasis><replaceable>foreign_cell</replaceable>. Because the <emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis>
volume is replicated, you must create a temporary mount point for its read/write version in a directory to which you have
write access (such as your cell's <emphasis role="bold">/afs/.</emphasis><replaceable>cellname</replaceable> directory).
Create the mount points, issue the <emphasis role="bold">vos release</emphasis> command to release new replicas to the
read-only sites for the <emphasis role="bold">root.afs</emphasis> volume, and issue the <emphasis role="bold">fs
checkvolumes</emphasis> command to force the local Cache Manager to access the new replica.</para>
<note>
<para>You need to issue the <emphasis role="bold">fs mkmount</emphasis> command only once for each foreign cell's
<emphasis role="bold">root.cell</emphasis> volume. You do not need to repeat the command on each client machine.</para>
