Installing AFS on Redhat Linux AS 3

Hello,
I'm trying to install OpenAFS on out linux box. When I'm tryin to run this command:
bos create srv1 kaserver simple /usr/afs/bin/kaserver -cell afssrv1 -noauth

I get the following error:
bos: could not find entry (can't find cell 'afssrv1' in cell database)

/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB:
>afssrv1 #Cell name
192.168.0.1 #srv1

/usr/afs/etc/ThisCell:
afssrv1

When I list the cells on the srv1, I can see that afssrv1 is listed there. why it still can't "see" the cell on my machine?

Thanx.

Well, first of all, where did you get openafs? from rh rpms? from source?

It seems to me you're missing a domain name...i 'm not sure but it shouldn;t be an optional.

Anyway try to check if your server is running using

bos listhost srv1 -noauth

and try using a domain name...

Peace, Rob
