Here is a similar problem: I want to get an AFS client working under 
SuSE 9.2. Klog with the client provided by SuSE returns

/"Unable to authenticate to AFS because AuthServer returned incorrect //response."
/

Then I compiled and installed first AFS 1.3.74 and then 1.3.71. Same 
result. The server I want to connect to is  a somewhat older release and 
I don't have access to update it.
Under SuSE 9.1 (2.6 Kernel) I encountered the same problem. However, on 
two installations with SuSE 9.0 with an own compiled 2.6.7 kernel and a 
compiled AFS 1.3.71 client,  klog is working properly -- also with the 
same old server.

Could there be an influence of the compiler version or the libc version 
or any other linux-distribution specific influence causing that problem? 
Any ideas how to solve that problem?
