this is what it shows :
[root@neptune root]# vos listaddrs -cell afs-2.csc.depauw.edu
neptune.csc.depauw.edu
vos: could not list the server addresses
vl: Index out of range

hmmm..  we might have something here, it looks like I can access all the volumes
I created. However when I used the windows version of OpenAFS it gave me a msg
telling me that non of the volumes had a VLDB entry. That was just a click of a
button away to fix.

It seems that the server is running ok (as far as I can tell) but then again vos
listaddresses seemd to come up with something

thanks,

Ron
