which I'm guessing the original correspondent might not have found
completely helpful in any case. Useful information that might enable
others to give more useful answers would include:
is this an AFS *file server*
is this an AFS *db server*
is this a kerberos KDC?
(these answers are not mutually exclusive).

One more question. From the original question, it is not clear to
me if you (Sanjay ) brought up a new server as part of your already-

some *separate* AFS cell which you had put together for testing
purposes.
Just wanted to make sure we understand what you're trying to do.
