[OpenAFS] Installing OpenAFS on RH7.0

[Timothy J. Wood]

   The kaserver is not running.  The bos restart didn't do anything but 
put more log files in /usr/afs/logs saying the same thing as before:

[root@afs1 logs]# bos restart afs1 -all -noauth
[root@afs1 logs]# more AuthLog
/usr/afs/bin/kaserver: problems with host name Ubik init failed
l database.
Sun Jan  5 23:02:05 1997 Using level crypt for Ubik connections.
Sun Jan  5 23:02:05 1997 ubik: primary address 127.0.0.1 does not exist
