I'm using Openafs 1.6.5 on Ubuntu 13.04. Due to an interrupted release and a fileserver that was not yet NetRestrict'ed from using 127.0.1.1 as one of its IPs, the Volume database is left with a bogus entry:

What am I doing wrong? Best regards, John _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
