[OpenAFS] Problem configuring OpenAFS

[kjellg@speech.kth.se]

Hi, and thanks for responding.

I have an afsd_init.log file and it contains the following:
10:50:35: Create log file
10:50:35: Created log file
10:50:35: osi_InitDebug code 1719

I have glanced at the debugging notes, but they contain
a lot of talk that makes no sense to me - I don't know
what to look for. I installed AFS at a different Windows 2000
machine with no trouble, but on this one I can't start
the service. And the error message is what I mentioned in my
first mail, it's the one ending in ...0042A. To repeat:
- I have administrator rights to my machine
- I have rights to use the cell md.kth.se, which I am trying
  to access.

Thank you for taking the trouble to help me with this.

Have you read the release notes for OpenAFS for Windows and followed the
debugging instructions?

Is there an afsd_init.log file?

Hi,

I recently sent a request to the bug report mail address for open AFS who=
se main
message was as follows:

"I have firewall and things from ZoneAlarm, so maybe that's
got something to do with it, or maybe not - I don't know. I've sent a sim=
ilar
mail to their support.

I have downloaded the latest release of AFS Client for Windows 2000. I am=
 unable
to configure it.
I want to access the cell md.kth.se to which I belong. When I try startin=
g the
client I get the error
message:
"The AFS Client Service could not be started successfully. You might not =
have
authorization to perform this operation.

Error 0x0000042A."

I got the following reply:

I do have administrator rights to my machine. I also received a reply fro=
m the
ZoneAlarm
people suggesting I disable my ZoneAlarm and try then. I did, and it didn=
't
help.

Can YOU please lead my steps toward a solution?

Thanks,
