[OpenAFS] Unable to authenticate to AFS because no such entry

[Pieter-Paul Giesberts (ELN)]

The local cell is equal to that in the server file (I remember simply copying it).
The DB server file looks like this (only 1 server so far):
><cellname>  #cell name
<ipadress>    #<servername>

Is the '>' before the cellname the problem or should it be there? (I created the file using bos, so I think it's correct)

This looks fine.

No.  There is no need (practically) for the IDs to match.  It should work
fine without it.

Oh, one other question:  What is the local cell, as listed in
/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell?  Is that correct, and is it what your
servers think they are (/usr/afs/etc/ThisCell)?  Similarly,
are the right DB servers listed in /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB?
