40 .Nd AFS cells and database servers
44 lists AFS cells known to the local AFS cache manager.
45 Each entry describes the name of an AFS cell and specifies the
46 servers for that cell.
48 Here is an example of the format of an entry in the file:
50 >cellname # Freetext comment describing the cell
51 ip-address #first.server.for.cell
52 ip-address #second.server.for.cell
53 ip-address #third.server.for.cell
59 is started, normally when the system boots.
61 The text after the # is
63 a comment, it's the hostname of the
64 db-server, and it's used to lookup the address. The address is only
65 used when the hostname is not found in DNS.
67 Entries in the file are searched and expanded by many programs.
69 In most cases it is better to distribute the information in
71 with the AFSDB DNS resource records. This avoids having out of date
75 When using AFSDB DNS resource records, entries entries should still
76 be listed, but without any hosts. This is needed for dynroot to work.
