I think doing something more extensive in TCL/Tk, such as an afssh or
wishafs would be worth while. I had started hacking up something such
that you could do things like:
set acl [afs getacl /afs/blah...]
s
And then the variable acl would contain two lists, something like:
{ {{system:anyuser rl} {system:administrator rlidwka}} {} }
The first list contains a list of positive ACLs, the second list negative.
I wasn't just parsing the output of the fs command, I was making pioctl
calls, etc.
I've also hacked up something called xacl (which does parse the output of
fs :-) that lets you set acl's buy double clicking on them, etc.
I think an AFS shell in TCL/Tk that combined all the functionality of
fs, bos, kas, pts, would be really cool. You could even extend it to
open up a connection to a server that delegated authority, ala adm.
