| = Rebuilding the OpenAFS Module = You will have to rebuild the source RPM every time your kernel is updated. If you followed the steps above, the source rpm should have been installed in `/usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/`. Use the `rpmbuild` command above to build this.

This is the chapter of the MemberManual that describes how to install the OpenAFS client on RedHat Fedora.
Introduction
There are different sets of RPMS available for OpenAFS. Currently, the easiest to install and maintain across system updates is probably [http://atrpms.net/ AT RPMS]. Follow the instructions on the [http://atrpms.net atrpms home page] to set up your Fedora-based machine to pull from the ATRPMS repository, and then follow the instructions below to get AFS working.
Install OpenAFS RPMS with Yum
Once you've got your machine configured to use AT RPM, install the appropriate openafs kernel module. Check your currently-running kernel with uname -a, and type yum search openafs-kmdl to see the list of openafs kernel modules available. Pick the one that matches your running kernel and install it with yum. An example command for a system running kernel 2.6.23.9-85 would be:
yum install openafs-kmdl-2.6.23.9-85.fc8-1.4.6-26.fc8
NB: Don't just type yum install openafs-kmdl here, as it often default to the wrong kernel module. Make sure you get the version that exactly matches your running kernel.
Then, install the rest of the openafs rpm files through yum:
yum install openafs openafs-authlibs openafs-doc openafs-client openafs-krb5
Configuration
Change the home cell in /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell to hcoop.net.
Start the openafs client with sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client start
- Run kinit and type your password
- Make sure that afsd is running.
- Run "klist" just to make sure that you have a valid token.
- Run aklog - if this works you should be able to see /afs/hcoop.net.
That's it! Since you installed the openafs-kmod package, your machine should automatically pick up new versions of the openafs kernel module when you do yum updates.
Troubleshooting
If you get an error like "aklog: unable to obtain tokens for cell hcoop.net (status: 11862790)" it may mean that your router is blocking SRV requests. If you're running djbdns locally (used by lots of operating systems for embedded devices, such as OpenWrt), make sure that the line filterwin2k is commented out in /etc/dnsmasq.conf, or whatever the configuration file is on your machine.
If you get messages saying things like "libafs can't be found" when you try to start the client, you probably installed a version of openafs-kmdl that doesn't match your running kernel. Use yum to remove the openafs RPM packages and try again.
