Hi, a while back an issue came up involving license key files for node-locked
software; certain applications require a license key file to run, which must
be in a "hard-wired" directory which is normally on the local drive of each
machine. Making it a link to an AFS location allows me to put it in a common
place, accessible to all machines.
The previous case was /var/flexlm/license.dat, which was linked to
/afs/athena/system/config/license/sgi/license.dat.
Now another case has come up, for a different license server, which
would require a link from /var/netls/nodelock to another afs location
(like /afs/athena/system/config/license/sgi/nodelock). Can this link
be made?
I don't expect that we will need still more of these in the near term.
Thanks,
Alex
