This completes the first editing pass of the man pages.  Very little
content editing has been done, but the server and client versions of
various man pages have been combined into a single man page for the
file (affects CellServDB, ThisCell, NetInfo, and NetRestrict), the
descriptions of the various AFS cache files have been combined into one
afs_cache man page, and the descriptions of the two butc log files have
been combined into one butc_logs man page.

For man pages for databases with two files, symlinks are now created on
installation for the secondary file name.

All of the man pages should now be ready for public review, additional
editing and cleanup, and content editing.

=head1 NAME
kaserverauxdb - Records failed authentication attempts
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The file F<kaserverauxdb> records failed authentication attempts for the
local Authentication Server. The server creates it automatically in the
F</usr/afs/local> directory by default; use the B<-localfiles> argument to
the B<kaserver> command to specify an alternate directory.
The F<kaserverauxdb> file is an internal database used by the
Authentication Server to prevent access by users who have exceeded the
limit on failed authentication attempts defined in their Authentication
Database entry. The Authentication Server refuses further attempts to
authenticate to an account listed in the database until either an AFS
system administrator issues the B<kas unlock> command to unlock the
account, or the timeout period defined in the user's Authentication
Database entry passes.
The F<kaserverauxdb> file is in binary format, so its contents are not
directly accessible. However, the output from the B<kas examine> command
reports an account's maximum number of failed attempts, the lockout time,
and whether the account is currently locked.
