[OpenAFS] Installing OpenAFS on RHEL

[Ron Croonenberg]

Hello,

I am trying to install an OpenAFS server on RedHat Enterprise Linux.

For some reason the process of setting it up breaks.

I wanted to try to uninstall all rpm's (working with the src rpm) but for some
reason that doesn't work.

[1] : is there a way to completely remove all the AFS stuff, so that I can
reinstall everything again to give it another shot ?

[2] : the problem that occurs is :
[root@neptune X11]# bos create  neptune kaserver simple /usr/afs/bin/kaserver
-cell afs-2.csc.depauw.edu -noauth
free(): invalid pointer 0xb72aa010!
free(): invalid pointer 0xb7279010!

free(): invalid pointer 0xb70c0010!
free(): invalid pointer 0xb708f010!
bos: failed to create new server instance kaserver of type 'simple' (entity
already exists)

and it looks that is not good.  further  in the process when I try to create an
admin etc, it is really clear it broke.

any suggestions ?

thanks,

Ron
