Hopefully you mean 'protection' and not 'production'.
At least, I hope you haven't yet created anything else
that you care about in the pt database.

If you have things running "-noauth", undo that; this was
an ancient transarc kludge that needs to be eradicated from
the install directions.

        to initialize the database,
        make sure ptserver is not running, then as root on the db server,
rm -f /var/lib/openafs/db/*.DB*
pt_util -w </dev/null
        (paths may vary.  does the redhat build still use /usr/afs/db/ ?)

        You should see output like this:

        stilton-root# pt_util -w </dev/null
        pt_util: /var/lib/openafs/db/prdb.DB0: Bad UBIK_MAGIC. Is 0 should be 
354545
        Ubik Version is: 2.0
        stilton-root#

        now start ptserver, then on the db server,
pts createu admin -localauth
pts adduser admin system:administrators -localauth

        at this point, you should now be able to use admin on a
        regular client & etc.
