... Welcome to AFS :-)

Everything I'm writing is related do 1.4.1rc4 - didn't have time to make
a rc5 package, yet.

Just put your cellname into this file ( /var/db/openafs/etc/ThisCell ).

Hmm ... don't know this problem. Maybe CellServDB is missing? Do you use
AFSDB-DNS-records? If yes, you still need the CellServDB file but you
probably want it to be empty:

 echo -n > /var/db/openafs/etc/CellServDB
