Re[2a]: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS rpm uninstall problem

[Ron Croonenberg]

Everyone,  thanks it seems like I have been able to uninstall all the afs rpms
and I could install and build everything with no apparent problems in that part
of the process.

I amrunning into some problems with creating entries for the database servers
however.

I did start the bosserver and then run into the following :

I create  the cellname and membership with

bos create neptune afs-2.csc.depauw.edu

then :

[root@neptune bin]# bos listhosts neptune -noauth
Cell name is afs-2.csc.depauw.edu
    Host 1 is neptune.csc.depauw.edu

[root@neptune bin]# bos create neptune.csc.depauw.edu kaserver simple
/usr/afs/bin/kaserver -cell afs-2.csc.depauw.edu -noauth
bos: could not find entry (can't find cell 'afs-2.csc.depauw.edu' in cell
database)

did I miss a step in the process ?

thanks,

Ron
