[OpenAFS] "FSYNC_clientInit temporary failure" fails to be temporary

[ted creedon]

I did the same thing for my servers. The local /etc/hosts file contains the
ip address and FQDN of all the servers

Look at your lan port (eth0, typically) with ethereal

I've had the exact same problems...also under debian woody
I think it was due to some name resolution problems.

make sure you have the forward and reverse DNS entries resolving for 
your hostname, and you dont have any entries in /etc/hosts that might 
confuse things
For me the problem seemed to be in /etc/hosts I had my hostname 
resolving to localhost (127.0.0.1)
which the debian (and most other distros) installer put in there.
I changed the /etc/hosts entry to reflect the same as in DNS, the 
machines real non-local IP.
and that problem went away.
I think its because openafs doesnt listen on the local interface...But i 
could be wrong.

Also notice the warning in bos status:
"Bosserver reports inappropriate access on server directories "
you need to chmod 755 /etc/openafs/server
