"Everything" beeing access to AFS network drives? Yes, that does work fine. To me "everything" very crucially includes the ability to ssh to a computer on which my home-dir is on an AFS volume. I can do that using passwd-authentication right now. It would be really helpfull to get it working with pubkey-auth so I don't have to type my password all the time... Well, I got our DCI-Department working on that, lets see what they come up with. Still I appreciate Zdzislaw comments and any other hints I might get.
