The AFS administration reference... http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/AdminReference/auarf020.htm
...makes clear that CellServDB files should never be updated by editing them with a text editor or I assume by the same token (no pun) simply copying new ones into place. The reference gives absolutely no indication of why or what the consequences are.
Without performing a BOS restart, we've recently had the experience that copying a new CellServDB file over an existing one on a file server causes the file server volumes to become inaccessable. This happened on our Solaris clients as well as our XP clients. Our XP clients started returning the error SEC_E_NO_KERB_KEY.
Is the date/time stamp on the CellServDB files used for security in some fashion? We didn't think the file server process re-read the CellServDB file without a BOS restart.
