Here is how to setup afs: Install the following packages (these are from the standard sl6 repo): kmod-openafs openafs openafs-module-tools openafs-krb5 openafs-client You should make sure afs starts at boot and the only customization required is, after installing the above and before starting the afs service, do "echo cern.ch >/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell" as root.Here is how to setup afs: Install the following packages (these are from the standard sl6 repo): kmod-openafs openafs openafs-module-tools openafs-krb5 openafs-client You should make sure afs starts at boot and the only customization required is, after installing the above and before starting the afs service, do "echo cern.ch >/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell" as root.

Tested example:
yum install kmod-openafs openafs openafs-module-tools openafs-krb5 openafs-client echo cern.ch >/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell /sbin/service afs start /sbin/chkconfig --add afs # check ls /afs/cern.ch/
