System name: weepecket.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 9.0.16 (with mkserv)
Display type: ffb
Shell: /bin/athena/bash
Window manager: unknown
What were you trying to do?
Use KNFS in a normal fashion. Weepecket is a KNFS
fileserver.
What's wrong:
The attach command does not seem to authenticate
properly.
I have an unclear report from one person (Jean or Jane in the
Faculty Liaison office) of an immediate "authentication
failure" when trying "attach nklab-5" but I don't know whether
that is because she isn't in the nklab group or and indication
that Weepecket isn't doing authentication properly. (I
suspect the later, but I don't know if I have evidence to back
up my suspicions.)
What should have happened:
This is what happened when I was not on the KNFS fileserver. The
same thing happens on the fileserver itself.

$ attach nklab-5
attach: WEEPECKET.MIT.EDU:/raid-5 attached to /mit/nklab-5 for filesystem nklab-5
$ ls -ld /mit/nklab-5/matlab-local
drwxrwx--- 5 cavin nklab 512 Apr 11 15:42 /mit/nklab-5/matlab-local
$ ls -l /mit/nklab-5/matlab-local
/mit/nklab-5/matlab-local: Permission denied
total 2
If I log into the fileserver and change the permissions to "o+rx", I
can read/list the contents, but I can't read them using either the
user or the group permissions.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This system had problems yesterday (hung /dev/console, with 102
accumulated "desync 360;reactivate >/dev/console" processes.) This
problem caused Garry Zacheiss to turn off the Moira update DCMs that
Weepecket normally gets. (I've asked him to resume them, but I
don't think he's in yet.)
The system was rebooted, and updated from the console to 9.0.16, and
appeared to work fine. I didn't check KNFS at the time, but there
were other reports that lead me to believe that it wasn't working.
(I do have some of this information in an olc report under
"private_ws".)
Thanks,
