[OpenAFS] Help - Failed to load AFS client

[Nathan Neulinger]

Do you have a firewall or other mechanism in place that would prevent
you from talking to those IPs?

One thing that's odd from your output - if the client didn't load, you
shouldn't be getting any of those kernel messages.

Are you trying to start the client twice?
