I'm replying to my own post, because I might have found out what the problem is, and it might be obscure enough to save someone a headache. Apparently configuring the /vicepa partition at install time doesn't work with RedHat. I tried leaving some open space on a drive, creating and formatting a (primary) partition as /vicepa, and it's working fine. The /afs directory was created by the rpm's. Client and server are operational.
Anyway, it was news to me. -----Original Message----- From: John Green [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 9:51 AM To: Openafs-Info (E-mail) Subject: [OpenAFS] AFS configuration errors? I have tried getting openafs working for a few days now, and keep getting this error: FSYNC_clientInit temporary failure (will retry): Connection refused I am using RH 7.2, 2.4.7-10 Enterprise kernel, openafs-1.2.7-rh7.2.2.src.rpm. The only explanation I have seen is that the volserver is attempting to start before the fileserver. I have a feeling that this error is a symptom of my real problem. I plan on using KerberosV for authentication, but have also tried using the kaserver (Quick Beginnings procedure in the Openafs docs). The same error appears every time. Also, when I try to mount the /vicepa partition (which I created during the RH install like a normal partition, and edited the /etc/fstab file afterwards) using this command: vos create afs1 /vicepa root.afs -localauth I receive this error: Could not fetch the list of partitions from the server Possible communication failure Possible communication failure I used the redhat authconfig to update the /etc/pam.d files, which I've heard should work okay. I used the kadmin.local -e des-cbc-crc:v4 command to create the afs principal and keytab in kerberos. I modified the /etc/sysconfig/afs to start the server, but not the client. I have tried using the standard RH /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs file to start the bosserver, and have tried doing it manually, with the same results. I have pasted the BosLog, FileLog, PtLog, SalvageLog, and VLLog output below. If anyone can give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
