aklog
As mentioned before, you do not need to explicitly attach a volume to
access its files. However, if the volume is in another cell, the cell
may not ``recognize'' you and grant you proper permissions. You can
use the command aklog to identify, or authenticate,
yourself to an MIT-based
cell.
Basically, aklog uses your Kerberos
tickets
to get you tokens for the cell. To use aklog, you can
type aklog -c cellname, or you can cd to a
volume in the cell and type aklog . (``.'' is an
abbreviation for the current directory). For more information, you
can read the manual page for aklog. Note that if you attach
or add a volume, the command aklog will be called as a part
of the attach process.
