Thank you Jeffrey,

but my  password contains only  ASCII alphanumeric characters.

Can you suggest something else to explore in order to fix this issue?

I have performed a fresh installation of the OpenAFS-4.11 (for snow
leopard) package , then I have copied ThisCell and CellServDB from a
backup to the  /var/db/openafs/etc/ directory. And voila' :


[Vitale:db/openafs/etc] vitale% klog
Password:
Unable to authenticate to AFS because password was incorrect.
[Vitale:db/openafs/etc] vitale%

I think it would be useful to have some indication about some log file
to look at to understand what happens. In the console.log, secure.log
and system.log there is no indication. I'm going to deinstall some
software such as Intego VirusBarrier and NetBarrier to understand if the problem is related to software conflicts. But the better thing would be
to have some specific AFS tool that detects where the problem occurs

Thak you

Unfortunately klog like most Kerberos implementations has absolutely no
trace logging capabilities at all.  Based upon the error that is
generated the key generated locally from your password is not matching
the key that the server has in its database.   I wonder if the problem
is a change in the encoding schema used for characters entered within
the terminal environment in 10.6.  By any chance does your password
contain any non-ASCII characters?
