This means the default client configation is being used. If you are setting
this up for your cell, you will need to configure the cellname in the client's
ThisCell file.  That should be located in /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell. Also,
you'll want to setup your /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB.local with the values for
your AFS db servers.

Seems to be an error initializing the cache files. Unfortunately, that
error message is less than helpful offhand.

Those files are the server configuration files. The client side config files
are located under /usr/vice/etc (on rhel).

Also be sure to set up your cacheinfo file.

The openafs-info mail list gets more traffic, so you may want to post you
questions there.  See http://openafs.org for info about the mail lists.
