[OpenAFS] Problem during implementing AFS

[Jatin Nansi]

hi

the machines name is node1
DNS is not setup, but every host entry is there in /etc/hosts
localhost is there in /etc/hosts.

dns is there for the site, but there are no entries for node1.

thanks

Jatin

Is your machine named node1?
Do you have DNS setup?
Do you have 'localhost' setup in DNS?
