	Solved!

Someone might find this helpful one day ;)

Basically, at install time I ran the following configuration command to
setup the server crypt key, which I suppose it is used as common key for
inter-server communication (tell me if I'm wrong) AND for authenticating
users using the cache manager to access a server:

	bos addkey $myserver -kvno 0 -cell $mycell_name -noauth

to this command I responded with the password I assigned to user
"admin", and THIS was the mistake. After spending sometime retrying the
installation steps I typed in the afs user password and there it was!

bye now.
