openafs (1.4.12.1+dfsg-4+squeeze2) squeeze-security; urgency=high The DES keys used by all previous versions of OpenAFS are not sufficiently strong to be secure. As of this release, all OpenAFS servers support using stronger long-term keys than DES. All sites are strongly encouraged to rekey their AFS cells after deploying the new version of the AFS server software on all AFS file server and AFS database server machines. To do so, generate a new set of keys for the afs/ principal for your site and store those keys in /etc/openafs/server/rxkad.keytab on all file server and database server machines and then restart the server processes to upgrade the strength of server-to-server connections. After all existing AFS tokens have expired, you can then move the KeyFile aside, which will invalidate all old, existing DES tokens. If you are using Heimdal as your Kerberos KDC, you need to ensure that the afs/ key includes a des-cbc-crc enctype (to allow for session keys), but you should remove all DES keys from the keytab before deploying it as rxkad.keytab. These are only abbreviated instructions and don't include some relevant details. If possible, please study and follow the more comprehensive instructions available at: http://www.openafs.org/pages/security/install-rxkad-k5-1.6.txt http://www.openafs.org/pages/security/how-to-rekey.txt linked from . -- Russ Allbery Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:08:46 -0700 openafs (1.4.4.dfsg1-4) unstable; urgency=low The files previously located in /etc/openafs/server-local have been moved to /var/lib/openafs/local. The OpenAFS fileserver and bosserver write files to this directory on startup which are not configuration files and therefore, per the File Hierarchy Standard, should not be in /etc. Any sysid, sysid.old, NetInfo, and NetRestrict files in /etc/openafs/server-local have been copied to /var/lib/openafs/local. upserver and upclient have moved to /usr/lib/openafs (from /usr/sbin) to match the other programs intended to be run by the bosserver and to match upstream's layout. If you're running upserver or upclient from bosserver, BosConfig has been updated with the new path, but the services have not been restarted. At your convenience, you should restart your servers with: bos restart -all -bosserver so that the running servers will look at the new locations. After doing so, you may remove /etc/openafs/server-local if you wish. -- Russ Allbery Tue, 19 Jun 2007 03:51:58 -0700
