Getting started from Redhat RPMs. Was Re: [OpenAFS] compiling for SuSE 7.1

[Tariq Kara]

Coudl you tell us how you fixed it, 'cause I ran into the same problem a
couple of weeks ago and I don't think it was a network misconfiguration on
my end.  Eventually I just started the kaserver manually and then
everything worked fine.  although I ocassionally see kaserver dying,
although I don't have any problems with any other servers.  Also on a
separate note where can one find a "HOW-TO" for making krb5 work with AFS.

Thanks
