Hi Russ,
configuration.transcript.txt.gz has been my working document, I've gotten to the vos create part and no further, as you'll see further on this thread.
Regards Eric

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

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)
Well, this particular problem is because of /etc/hosts, as previously mentioned. (That's the only reason why something would be connecting to 127.0.0.1.)
Have you read the documentation in the OpenAFS sarge package in /usr/share/doc/openafs-dbserver? In particular, you want to read README.servers and configuration.transcript.txt.gz. The latter steps you through the whole process of setting up a new cell; you say below that you didn't think the documentation is adequate, but that transcript is about the most useful documentation I've seen for installing OpenAFS.
The Debian package comes with afs-newcell and afs-rootvol scripts that automate part of this process and also check various things, including the 127.0.0.1 problem that you had above (in the version in sid; that check hasn't migrated into sarge yet).
