Hi Paul,

I'm CC'ing Kevin Walsh who was the coordinator for the 2008 AFS & 
Kerberos Workshop that was hosted at NJIT.

You're right, I see no reference to Kerberos on the NJIT help pages. 
This suggests that NJIT might be using kaserver, which is deprecated.

I assume that you're using the CellServDB file from 
http://web.njit.edu/all_topics/AFS/CellServDB, which doesn't list 
openafs.org as a cell!! That explains some things.

Paul, please try going to \\afs\uncc.edu in windows explorer and see if 
that works. That cell IS listed in the NJIT CellServDB and I verified 
that the entry is correct.

(Kevin, please ask the right person to add openafs.org to the NJIT 
CellServDB)

Sincerely,
Jason
