The CellServDB police will come by and break your kneecaps.
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.
Yup. There was a bug. It should have been fixed, but a deadlock was
introduced (by me) in the afsconf package when CellServDB is reread.
Broken 1.2.4 or so, fixed 1.2.11 or so, iirc.
It will be reread during normal operation.
