After running the OpenAFS installer package, you need to put your local AFS 
cell name in the file "/var/db/openafs/etc/ThisCell". Here's one way to do 
that:

        Log in as an administrator, if you're not already
        Open a Terminal window
        Type the command "sudo -s"
        Enter the password for the admin account
        Type the command "echo cats.ucsc.edu > /var/db/openafs/etc/ThisCell"

If "cats.ucsc.edu" isn't your cell name, correct that as necessary.

After rebooting, OpenAFS should be running. In a Terminal window, you can 
run the command "mount" to verify that you see this line:
        AFS on /Network/afs

That should get you started.
