You were right. For some reason, ptserver was not running.

My CellServerDB :

ls -ltr /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 23 2005-07-07 
10:20 /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB-> /usr/afs/etc/CellServDB

I am trying to enable both server and client functionality on the same 
machine.

I have gone through doing a bos shutdown and testing the initialization 
script. I had created root.afs on /vicepa (I intend to use /vicepb for 
backup).

df -h :

root@omega:/usr/vice/etc# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              20G  1.1G   18G   6% /

AFS                   8.6G     0  8.6G   0% /afs

I had used the XLARGE option (-fakestat -stat 3600 -dcache 3600 -daemons 5 
-volumes 196 -files 50000). Is the number for /afs above (8.6G) determined 
uniquely by this choice ? If so, then what would be a good choice for a 
partition that is 163G in size ?

Further, I was about to configure the toplevels of the filespace and ran :

root@omega:/usr/vice/etc# fs setacl /afs system:authuser rl
fs:'/afs': Connection timed out

root@omega:/usr/vice/etc# ls /afs
omega.mit.edu/

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.
