[OpenAFS] Debian - openafs -noauth problems

[Madhusudan Singh]

Thanks for your exhaustive response.

I ran the afs-newcell script :

What administrative principal should be used? zzzz/admin
echo \>omega.domain.edu >/etc/openafs/server/CellServDB
/etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver start
Starting AFS Server: bosserver.
bos addhost omega omega -localauth ||true
bos: could not find entry (can't find cell '<default>' in cell database)
bos adduser omega zzzz.admin -localauth
bos: could not find entry (can't find cell '<default>' in cell database)
Failed: 256
bos: could not find entry (can't find cell '<default>' in cell database)
omega:~#


As I noted earlier, the IP address is not being added 
to /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB. But as you said, afs-newcell is supposedly 
able to recover from this. So, what am I missing ?
