So you mean your site runs the kaservers. These are available from
Transarc and from OpenAFS. But if you do not run kerberos (which I
_do_ recommend and can describe in detail why somewhere else) you run
kaservers.

In the arla distribution, the kalog program is the one that should
work with kaservers. However, since the Unix time went over 2^31 this
weekend, probably none of your AFS database servers (kaserver,
ptserver, vlserver, buserver?) work correctly because they are not
able to reach quorum any more. You might be lucky and still have a
database syncsite, but that is only luck. So tell your sysadms to
upgrade the database servers to OpenAFS 1.2.11 ASAP (guess what I am
doing right now in another window). See in output below:

Sync host 0.0.0.0 was set 1073898414 secs ago
I am sync site until -156570 secs from now (at Sat Jan 10 14:38:03 2004) (3 servers)

0.0.0.0 and -156570 are not good numbers.

If this does not help you are back to debugging kalog. I can not test that
myself because I don't have any auth at a kaserver-site. As a start you
might want to use tcpdump and look that you get answers from your kaservers.

Hals und Beinbruch,
Harald.
