Did anyone have experience in installing White Pages without AFS? According to the AndrewSetup File, "Sites that have wanted to use White Pages without using AFS have had to fabricate this path name on their system." However, how to *fabricate*?? Wai-kong, Sung kw20swk0@twnitri1.bitnet

ThisDomainWPDirectory: string Default: none Normally, the White Pages database for some domain DOMAINNAME (often ThisDomain) is found in directory /afs/DOMAINNAME/service/wp Sites that have wanted to use the White Pages without using AFS have had to fabricate this path name on their systems. However, as a special case, the Andrew installer may set the ThisDomainWPDirectory to be the name of the directory in which the White Pages for domain ThisDomain may be found. What this means is that if you're not using AFS and you want to build a WP for some domain DOMAINNAME, you should by default put your WP in the directory named /afs/DOMAINNAME/service/wp. What ``fabricate'' means is that you'd have to make this directory exist (with ordinary mkdir commands) if it doesn't exist already. Craig
