Hi Ingo,

   concerning the first case did you compile rootd with AFS support?
If not you have to recompile rootd with AFS support.

COncerning the second case? Seems like it should not happen. Does the machine
in question have a normal passwd file or does it use shadow passwords. In the
later case you'll also have to recompile rootd with shadow passwd support.

In general it might be easier to use the ~/.rootdpass method as described in
the comments of the rootd.cxx source file.

Cheers, Fons.
