[OpenAFS] startup problem

[David Miller]

I've had that problem before, this thread could be of use
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2004-March/012620.html

its often caused by openafs using the wrong interface, which is often 
due to inconsistant name resolution (DNS, /etc/hosts).
