However, I do have the lines

      152.2.1.5                    #db0.isis.unc.edu
      152.2.1.6                    #db1.isis.unc.edu
      152.2.1.7                    #db2.isis.unc.edu

in my /etc/arla/CellServDB and isis.unc.edu in my etc/arla/ThisCell. It
looks like it is not able to read the CellServBD for some reason.

I'm trying to connect from my home machine (via ppp) to campus machines. I
followed some official documentation to set it up. I have not been able to
find a ThisCell file on the reomote machiens. The CellServDB file on the
remote machines is however, in agreement with the remote machines. The
remote machines use the commercial version of AFS, I believe (Transarc).

Also, klog gives me

Um, which debug flags, specifically? 

I was surprised to see that the arlad man page lists

/usr/arla/etc/arlad.conf  default configuration for afsd
     /usr/arla/etc/arlad.conf  database with all known AFS servers
     /usr/arla/etc/arlad.conf  our default cell (where we get the root
directory)

This does not agree with my setup at all. Is there an easy way to find out
where arlad is looking for its database/config files, etc?
I do have 

./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --sysconfdir=/etc/arla     \
--with-krb4=/usr/athena

when I compile. Thanks in advance for any help.

                             Faheem.
