Each time the bosserver starts, it checks for the presence of the client configuration directory and the CellServDB and ThisCell files within it. When not found, the bosserver creates the client cell configuration directory. When the CellServDB and ThisCell files are not present in the client configuration directory, the bosserver creates symlinks to the server's CellServDB and ThisCell files. This feature of the bosserver was a convenience when older versions of vos and pts required a client configuration directory. However, modern deployments tend to use packaging, with separate client and server packages. The client configuration directory and files in it are typically managed by the client packaging. Currently, packagers must work around these symlinks created by the bosserver. Additionally, the CellServDB and ThisCell symlinks are hazardous since writing to the client-side configuration will overwrite the server configuration. This commit removes the creation the client configuration directory and the CellServDB and ThisCell symlinks during bosserver startup. This change is intended to decouple the server from the client, help to avoid overwriting the server configuration, and avoid requiring client artifacts on a server.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many different machines, but are available to users on every machine. OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by the relevant copyright holders. The LICENSE file in this directory contains more details, thought it is not a comprehensive statement. See INSTALL for information about building and installing OpenAFS on various platforms. See CODING for developer information and guidelines. See NEWS for recent changes to OpenAFS.
