To whomever wrote this document (Ben?): it seems to reference both
Transarc and non-transarc paths. Should it just be using non-transarc
paths?

Bos cannot find tickets from your KeyFile with which to authenticate (or
possibly another error, but I think that's it). Can you run 'asetkey
list' and see if you appear to have any keys in your KeyFile? Do NOT
send the output of 'asetkey list' to the mailing list, but just say if
it lists any keys, and what their kvno is.

If asetkey isn't in your PATH, it should (also) be where bosserver,
ptserver, etc are (/usr/afs/bin or /usr/local/libexec/openafs/, I
think).

You are probably hitting the same error that was reported as this in
previous versions:

bos: could not find entry (getting key from local keyfile)
