Hello, I am having similar issues under Linux kernel 2.6.14. I am running a SGE(Sun Grid Engine) cluster and I am using OpenAFS 1.4.0. I tried upgrading the OpenAFS binaries on one of the farm boxes to 1.4.1, but I get the same issue. Reverting back to 2.6.9, and everything is fine again.
The issue I am seeing is; SGE is configured to use AFS via a home-grown program that klogs on behalf of the use. SGE has two parameters it uses to get work with AFS. One is the path to a program that can get tokens granted for the user submitting jobs, and the other is the path to pagsh. If I set the path to pagsh to '/bin/sh', the problem of missing tokens under 2.6.14 goes away. But, then, I have a very insecure environment. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this?
