Arla config/authenticate and Mac OSX

[Keary Lay]

I have arla 0.35.6 and kth-krb 1.0.5 installed.
I have two problems.
When I run the arla config program and hit the start button AFS shows up 
in the finder and I am able to view directories, but the start button 
never changes over to a stop button. I don't know if this is a user 
error or an arla error. The only way I can stop arlad is to issue a kill 
command.
I am not able to authenticate using kerberos. When I try 
/usr/athena/bin/kinit -r it comes back with
/usr/athena/bin/kinit: Can't send request (send_to_kdc)
Now I must admit to a large portion of newbie ignorance here, but I 
believe I have the correct  krb.conf and realms.conf files for my cell 
(engin.umich.edu)

One more question out of curiosity. What is the "thing" that aral config 
puts in the root directory. It is listed as afs with a plain vanilla ls 
and the finder shows it as an alias of some sort, but I don't know how 
to get rid of it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
