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)
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.)
Actually, no. Port 2040/tcp is the fssync interface, which is the communication channel between the fileserver, volserver, and other volume utilities running on the same machine. It listens _only_ on 127.0.0.1, and connections via that address are perfectly normal.
The connection is being refused because the fileserver hasn't finished initializing yet. This is also perfectly normal, for a time, but not indefinitely. In this case, the reason the fileserver has not finished initializing is called out clearly in the logs -- it can't get a CPS for system:anyuser, because that entry doesn't yet exist in the PRDB (error 267268 is PRNOENT, "User or group doesn't exist").
The reason for the PRNOENT is also called out clearly in the logs. The ptserver was started with _no_ database, and because it is not running in noauth mode, it will not construct one from scratch. This is somewhat expected; running the ptserver in noauth mode has significant security implications, and so it's desirable to avoid ever doing so. The Debian scripts accomplish this by using pt_util to spin an initial PRDB from scratch before starting the ptserver for the first time. Since these scripts were apparently not used in this case, there is no PRDB.
IMHO the simplest solution would be to use the afs-newcell script provided with the Debian packages to emit a new PRDB.
