Configuring OpenAFS - Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

To use AFS with Mac OS X 10.6 at LTU the following conditions must be met:

• OpenAFS is installed and configured with LTU settings.

• There is a working LTU-kerberos and the user has a valid kerberos ticket. See separate guide for installation and configuration of kerberos at LTU.

Install OpenAFS, LTU-settings and help applications

1. Click on the file OpenAFS-1.4.12.1-Snowleopard.dmg to save it on your computer. Follow the instructions on the screen.
