Here's the strange happening We're using openafs and transarc AFS on windows 2000 machines.
On some systems we see the AFS client dying. The sympton is that klog will not get any tokens, returning a message that the afs client services was not started or stopped. So, we open a command window, issue 'net stop "IBM AFS Client"' and then as soon as that completes, issue 'net start "IBM AFS Client"' This has to be done with admin priveledge. After completing these command, afs works fine. klog gets tokens. the gui gets tokens. Drive maps work. The problem here is twofold 1) we shouldn't have to do this 2) you have to have admin priveledge to restart the service. Rebooting the system will not help.
