[OpenAFS] AFS - Win 98 problem: Unable to authenticate becaus e: 'code =98: requested ticket lifetime invalid'

[Pieter-Paul Giesberts (ELN)]

The AFS client and server machines were synchronized to within 1 minute. I tried changing the IPnumber and name of the client and I put it in front of the firewall, but that still didn't work. 
Another win98 machine with the same openafs installation did work correctly though, so it must be something with the hardware (some sort of exotic 12'' rack type) or the settings. I think the time zones were correct, but I'm not sure. I remember changing the server's recently, but I don't know if that was before or after. I haven't had time to look in to it yet. I'll let you know as soon as I know more.

Are you AFS client and server machine clocks synchronized and in the right time zone?

Hi,

I've succesfully installed OpenAFS on several server and client machine's (Solaris, Win NT, Linux). The (Solaris) server and clients use OpenAFS 1.0.4, the Linux Clients are upgraded to 1.2.0 and the WinNT clients use 1.0 4.01. They all operate without any errors (so far).

Now I tried to install OpenAFS 1.1.1a on a Win98 box, but I've encountered some errors:
1) The 'AFS' startmenu-group is not created, nor is the launch program added to the startup menu.
2) There is a shortcut file in the AFS directory with the name Runonce, but it's link (runonce.bat) does not exist.
3) (More disturbingly) When starting the launch program by hand and filling in user credentials and password it says: AFS Client warning: Unable to authenticate to AFS because: 'code =98: requested ticket lifetime invalid'

Looking in the log window it says:
..
<date, time> AFS Client Console started succesfully 
<date, time> On WSAEvent FD_READ(0)
<date, time> Unable to authenticate

At first I thought it might be a problem with DNS, but it can't be , because I tried putting the name/IP number in the clients hosts file.
Then I figured it might be a problem with routing (there is a very low security firewall in between the server and this PC). However, the strange thing is that when I remove the user name and password and then try to connect (i.e. without authentication), everything works fine. I can browse through my directory structure etc (only as 'anyuser' of course). But when I then try to run klog I get the same error message again.

Can anyone tell me whats going on? Is it the firewall after all?

Thanks,

Pieter-Paul Giesberts
