[OpenAFS] Unable to Obtain Tokens

[Robbie Foust]

Hi Jeffrey and others,

I tried the new build you posted below (it was actually v1.3.51 by the 
time I got to it).  I uninstalled my old OpenAFS 1.2.10 (which I was 
never able to obtain tokens with) and installed the new one.  When I try 
to get tokens now, here is what I get:

The AFS Client was unable to obtain tokens as rfoust in cell acpub.duke.edu.
Error: 56 (Authentication Server was unavailable)

Here is what is in afsd_init.log:

There really isn't anything in the application event log to suggest what 
the problem is.  Any suggestions on what I can do?  Thanks!
