Thanks for catching that.

Just ran it :
#afs-newcell
....
Do you meet these requirements? [y/n] y
If the fileserver is not running, this may hang for 30 seconds.
/etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver stop
Stopping AFS Server: bosserver.
What administrative principal should be used? m_singh/administrators

/etc/openafs/server/CellServDB already exists, renaming to .old
/etc/init.d/openafs-fileserver start
Starting AFS Server: bosserver.
bos adduser omega m_singh.administrators -localauth
Protection database already exists; cell already partially created
bos removeuser omega m_singh.administrators -localauth

# bos status omega -local

No o/p.

Your README suggested that I should see some processes started now. Maybe some 
remnants of the old setup are interfering now.

Only bosserver is running right now.
