Hi,

I have Debian Linux, with kernel 2.4.18.

I installed AFS following the instructions in the Quick Beginnings on
openafs.org, and everything is fine. Except when I run "afsd" I get the
famous message:

afsd
afsd: All AFS daemons started.
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)

I searched the web, and I found that this error is related to afs_syscall
returning -1.

I found lots of posts telling what causes this error, but unfortunately, not
a single one saying how to fix it.

Can anyone help me? 

Best regards,

Luis Bivar Ramos
