[OpenAFS-devel] afs-newcell

[kaushik1@illinois.edu]

I have changed the host name and the domain name of my laptop.  Now, I need to change the realm of the Kerberos server.  However, I am unable to find a way to change the realm.  Simply changing the krb5.conf doesn't seem to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rini
