If that is the case then /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB needs to be %config(noreplace) in the RPM spec or it'll get updated the next time openafs-client updates which would, again, kill AFS on the client. I ran in to this issue with our private cell and rolled a new set of RPMs with this directive set and froze all clients from updating AFS. ~Aaron
