\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{AFS access controls}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item AFS enforces server side access controls.
  \item On Athena systems: user's password $\to$ Kerberos tickets
    $\to$ AFS tokens, which authenticate the client to the AFS server.
  \item On scripts, we don't have the user's password or tickets.
  \item User's scripts are not publicly readable.
  \item Access is controlled through a single {\tt daemon.scripts} AFS
    user.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Isolating users on scripts}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item If all users share {\tt daemon.scripts} AFS tokens, how are
    they prevented from accessing each other's {\tt web\_scripts}?
  \item On scripts, we enforce additional restrictions in the AFS
    kernel module.
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \texttt{afsAccessOK()} in
      \texttt{openafs/src/afs/VNOPS/afs\_vnop\_access.c}
      \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
