Yeah, I thought of that;


127.0.0.1 localhost 69.60.123.88 raven.umbralservices.com raven

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Thanks for the thought though.

Regards
Eric

Hello All,

I've been having a nightmare of a time trying to get openafs installed
under debian, I've gotten to the point where you create a volume (I
assume) with the command vos create (host) a root.afs -localauth and
it just hangs, I've tried stracing the filesserver process as well as
the bosserver process, it appears to be hanging on

[pid  7169] connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2040),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection
refused)
resulting in continuously outputting;

FSYNC_clientInit temporary failure (will retry): Connection refused

Nothing is bound to port 2040, I looked into this for the past few
hours with little to no success minus some vague handwaving towards
the concept of nameserver resolution and configuration, so I made
*absolutely* certain that that was correct (cell name
umbralservices.com, hostname raven, resolves forwards and reverse
resolves correctly, notably *not* to 127.0.0.1 so I'm uncertain if
there's something to worry about with the bosserver trying to connect
to localhost:2040)


Yes, this is a problem.

Debian will put the machine's hostname on the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts. This is BAD and causes all sorts of problems. Did you check this file also? The hosts file is checked before DNS is queried.

You want to make sure your AFS servers (and probably all your servers for that matter) are configured similarly to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/]% cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
128.174.251.6 clortho.acm.uiuc.edu clortho


This way an IP lookup on the hostname of the machine returns the correct IP address and NOT 127.0.0.1
