The other reason to have separate client and server CellServDB & ThisCell
is because the server will change the permissions on /usr/afs/etc and
nobody will be able to read the symlinks that the IBM documentation
instructs you to create earlier...  that one confused me for a bit.

Btw- the client configs are in /usr/vice/etc (at least for the
--enable-transarc-paths)
