Type and version: KN01 7.3K (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Get some information from the AFS Protection Server. I
did not happen to have any AFS tokens at the time.
What's wrong:
% pts examine system:mhpower
libprot: Unknown code ktc 3 (11862787) Could not get afs tokens, running unauthenticated
Name: system:mhpower, id: -5571, owner: system:administrators, creator: sms,
membership: 1, flags: S-M--, group quota: 0.
What should have happened:
The program should not have referenced an "Unknown code". If
a large integer associated with the error were potentially
useful to me, it is OK to have included it in the error message.
However, it should correspond to some failure scenario that
the developers are aware of, so that the term "Unknown" can
be omitted.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
