The MacAthena project is working to bring the functionality of the Athena system to your Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mojave, or Catalina machine.
MacAthena is a project of SIPB. If you have questions or comments, please contact the MacAthena maintainers.
The instructions to install MacAthena are on a separate page.
Eventually, the MacAthena project would like to offer:
- Full command-line compatibility with Linux Athena
- Cocoa applications to provide easy-to-use interfaces to common Athena tasks
- A package based system allowing MacAthena users to setup anything from a few utilities to a system with Kerberos-based logins and AFS home directories
- Support in common lockers, providing MacAthena users with access to the wealth of software available in AFS
At this point, we have the following major features:
/mit automounter - Access AFS lockers simply accessing paths of the form /mit/locker, eliminating the need to actually attach lockers.
add
Moira clients, including blanche, stella, and moira
(Many of these commands are not frequently used, but some locker programs depend on their presence)

Q: Package xyz that I really care about isn't in MacAthena! Why not?
A: Well, it's possible we just haven't tried to port it yet, or maybe we haven't gotten it to work. We keep a list of packages we're having a hard time porting.
