AFS Mount Helper

This repository provides a lightweight shell script to mount your EPITA AFS home directory over SSHFS. It automates and simplifies the standard EPITA setup process.

Features

• Verifies that sshfs and kinit are installed.
• Obtains a Kerberos ticket for your CRI account.
• Automatically builds the correct AFS path from your login.
• Cleans and mounts the target directory (~/Desktop/AFS).
• Handles temporary files securely and cleans them on exit.

Requirements

• macOS (uses diskutil for unmounting).
• sshfs (install via Homebrew).
• kinit (Kerberos tools).
• Network access to ssh.cri.epita.fr.

Installation

git clone <repo_url>
cd <repo_name>
chmod +x src/main.sh

Usage

./src/main.sh <login> <password>

• <login>: your CRI login (e.g., jdupont)
• <password>: your CRI password

The AFS directory will be mounted at:

~/Desktop/AFS

Security Notes

• The password is temporarily stored in a file with restricted permissions (chmod 600) and removed on exit.
• Passing passwords as command-line arguments may expose them via process inspection tools (ps). Use with caution.

After Running

• Your AFS files will be accessible at ~/Desktop/AFS.

To unmount manually:

diskutil unmount force ~/Desktop/AFS

Troubleshooting

• Ensure your credentials are correct.
• Verify your Kerberos ticket with:

klist

• Check that sshfs and kinit are available in your PATH.
