I edited /etc/sysconfig/openafs to say AFS_SERVER=on
and use /etc/init.d/openafs to start AFS,
but did no other changes.  As far as I can tell reading the script
it does not use rxbind.

Sorry, I don't know how to use netstat:

# netstat | grep 7007
# netstat --udp
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State      
# netstat --interfaces

bos works fine locally:
# bos getlog localhost BosLog -localauth
Fetching log file 'BosLog'...
