   1. The /private/etc folder is hidden... to get to it from the Finder...
   2. From the "Go" menu choose "Go to Folder"
   3. Type in /private/etc
   4. You can now copy the krb5.conf file over... you will be prompted for administrator credentials
2. Install the Mountain Lion edu.mit.Kerberosfile to /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
   1. You may first have to delete any existing edu.mit.Kerberos file (Finder may not let you overwrite the existing file)
   2. The deletion operation will require typing in an administrative username and password
   3. Copying over the new file will require typing in an administrative username and password
3. Download 1.6.9 for Lion from this link (10.7) OR Download OpenAFS 1.6.9 or greater from the openafs.org website (10.8) OR Download 1.6.9 for Mavericks from this link (10.9)
   1. Installers for Mac are also available courtesy of Your File System, Inc
4. Run the OpenAFS package installer
   1. Specify cnf.cornell.edu as the cell name and cnf as the cell alias
   2. No reboot is necessary (unless you are running Mavericks, Mac OS 10.9) - AFS will start running when the installer finishes
5. To show the AFS icon on the Desktop...
   1. Finder - Preferences
   2. General tab
   3. Check "Connected Servers"
6. Download the gui AFSTokens app for SnowLeopard (afstokens-64bit.zip) from https://forge.cornell.edu/sf/projects/afs_tokens 
   1. File Releases tab

   3. Obtaining tokens works under the latest version of Mac OS X Mavericks. However, deleting tokens crashes the app.

   4. Renewing existing tokens does not work. You must first delete any AFS tokens and Kerberos tickets by running the following two commands from a Terminal prompt commandline:

      Code Block
      unlog kdestroy

   5. Viewing your AFS group membership works under the latest version of OS X Mavericks.
7. We are in process of testing the built in AFS control panel under System Preferences.
