[OpenAFS] Help - Failed to load AFS client

[Tommy Mann]

I don't think I have a firewall, but I'll have to check to make sure -- 
I'm not the only one with root access on this box.  Anyway, I rebooted and 
while it was rebooting I saw "lost contact with openafs.org" message 
scroll by about a donzen times before saying something like "Can't mount 
on afs(22)".

I looks, though, that AFS started up correctly after the reboot:

[tmann@black tmann]$ ps -ef | grep afs
root      1042     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_rxlistener]
root      1047     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_callback]
root      1049     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_rxevent]
root      1050     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afsd]
root      1051     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_checkserver]
root      1052     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_background]
root      1053     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_background]
root      1054     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_background]
root      1056     2  0 16:24 ?        00:00:00 [afs_cachetrim]

Does all of this look okay?  Should there be multiple afs_background 
processes??

Thanks again for all the help!

Tommy
