I hope this helps someone.
I couldn't get the afs-newcell script to work worth a damn for me. I had
to comment out the line were it overwrites the cellservdb file, but it
would still fail and I couldn't figure out why.
But I was able to get it working to the point were I can run the
afs-newvol script.
I am using package 1.3.81-3sarge1, in Debian Sarge, obviously.
I tried to document to the best of my ability on how I got it running.
Keep in mind that I am no expert. This is only the second time setting
up a openafs server. Most of this is lifted from the OpenAFS's website
quickstart documentation. Double check the commands and read the
documentation and such before following this stuff.
Be sure to install the openafs-client with 'no' on start now and at
bootup time.
Maybe it would be nice to include this in the /usr/share/doc/ stuff with
the package if it seems like a good idea.
# This is the steps I took to get OpenAFS server functional without
# using the afs-newcell script
# this is just ment for documentation.. it's a not a real script
# first I had a functional kerberos 5 server.
# then I setup a admin (afsadm) and a service key.
# krbadm is my kerberos admin.
kadmin -p krbadm
