Does anyone know how to mount an AFS filesystem (I think it is called an Andrews'

I looked around on the web, but did not come up with anything that worked so I thought
that I would ask for some advice.
You need a few things working. Kerberos, openafs-client, kmod, and
kmod-openafs.
- Kerberos: this is for authentication. You need to set your realms in
/etc/krb5.conf. Something like this (of course you have to use
whatever is appropriate for your organisation,
s/cern.ch/myorg.org/):
[realms]
CERN.CH = {
default_domain = cern.ch
kdc = cerndc.cern.ch
}
[domain_realm]
.cern.ch = CERN.CH
cern.ch = CERN.CH
- openafs-client, kmod, and kmod-openafs: this was provided by
RPMFusion, but the maintainer changed jobs where it was not needed
anymore and has been orphaned since then. This was about a year ago I
think. kmod is available in the normal repos, the openafs bits can
now be found on these coprs: jsbillings/openafs,
jsbillings/openafs-kmod.
- If you don't want to depend on the timely build of kmods for every
kernel update, you have to switch to dkms instead of kmod.
Hope this helps,
