[OpenAFS] one solaris client suddenly can't mount

Well, the client is up and running again.

I rebooted the AFS server. It seems that it had somehow (?) cached the fact
that it could not contact 192.168.0.14 from a hub outage earlier in the day,
even though all indications through command-line utilities showed that the
connection was fine.

I had already deleted all of the cache files, and when the server came back
up, the solaris client crashed, dumped, and rebooted. When it came back up
everything was fine.

Many thanks to all who offered assistance.

Is your client's IP Address 192.168.0.14?  If not, then what machine
has that IP Address?

Basically, this log entry is saying that the RCallBackConnectBack RPC
failed, as did the ProbeUuid callback.  This generally means that the
server cannot contact your client, for one reason or another.  The
"22811" is "7001", but byte-order-swapped.

The OpenAFS build process should have built all the utilities
automatically.  Look in .../dest/bin/
