Hello folks,

Our DNS AFSDB lookups are not working ("specified realm is unknown" error) with OpenAFS Client for Windows 1.5.7000 and 1.5.7100. There was no problem with 1.5.6400 and earlier. Manually adding our db servers into the PC's CellServDB does allow authentication.

The release notes at http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.5.71/winxp/afs-changes-since-1.2.txt hint that this is already known "Restore use of DNS AFSDB and SRV records which were unintentionally disabled in 1.5.69"

Also I see from http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=125594 that someone else has a similar problem and is able to fix it by adding new SRV records.

It is not clear to me if the new SRV records as described http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-allbery-afs-srv-records-03.txt might fix the problem as far as NJIT is concerned.

I do apologize in advance if my reading/LMGTFY/RT[fine]RN efforts overlooked something obvious.

Thank you for any possible pointers,

Kevin Walsh
