[OpenAFS] pts: Permission denied ; unable to create user admin

[Hartmut Reuter]

You are probably creating a new cell, right?
If so, you may run "bos setauth localhost -authrequired off -localauth" on your 
database server(s).

If you do that in a living cell it's a security risk, off course.

With "bos setauth machine -authrequired on " you can then go back to the secure 
mode.
