RE: Windows client in Terminal server/Citrix

Jeff, I have been a users and configuration support for AFS @ ASU for many years.

What I mean by client quitting is the service seems to just stop functioning or I guess could be locked up.  We have to restart the AFS client service to get it back on line.  But there does not seem to be any rhythm or reason to it.

I will double check the release notes.  It is not that it does not work it just seems to be a volume problem.  Do you know of anyone using the Windows client in a similar way?

I will post to the other list as well.

We have had people go to the workshop in the past.  I will check through the notes there as well.

One more question, do you know of anyone with a really user friendly interface to AFS through the web?

Thanks.

What do you mean by the client quitting?

Have you read the release notes?

Have you followed the debugging instructions in the release notes?

You will do better asking this question on the [email protected]
list and reviewing the talks that have been given in previous years at
the AFS & Kerberos Best Practice Workshops.  The next workshop is in May.
