Sometime in the last month, the working of lists and specifically the
export from Moira to AFS seems to have become broken. The specific
example which I have just noticed is the list "tmrc-request" which was
fine in mid February, the last time I tried to access files controlled
by it, but is now wrong. The AFS access list should have two people,
mar and map, but only has mar.
I suspect this is a general problem with entries of type "KERBEROS",
specifically no longer exporting from Moira lists to AFS lists, but I
can't be certain. In researching it further, I found that other
places, some strictly within Moira, where this is supposed to be
active, also no longer work. Specifically, I tried to patch around
the problem by temporarily adding "USER map" to "tmrc-request", but
listmaint said I lacked permission for that (note: I am not certain
that this worked before, I don't remember testing it), but I should
have been able to. This makes me suspect that sometime in the last
month a bug was introduced that makes Moira list entries of type
"KERBEROS" not work at all.
