Russ Allbery af1dbcf0c9 Add warnings for Authentication Server commands
For each command only useful with the Authentication Server, add
warnings that the Authentication Server is obsolete and will be
removed in a future version of OpenAFS.  Encourage people who care
to update uss to work with a modern Kerberos KDC, recommend kinit
and aklog or klog.krb5 over klog, and warn that klog will be of
limited use without an Authentication Server.

=head1 NAME
AuthLog.dir, AuthLog.pag - Log of Authentication Server privileged operations
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The F<AuthLog.dir> and F<AuthLog.pag> files record a trace of privileged
operations performed by the Authentication Server (B<kaserver> process) on
the local machine. If the files do not exist when the Authentication
Server starts, it creates them in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory as
necessary.
The files are in binary format. To display their contents, use the B<kdb>
command, which requires being logged in to the local machine as the local
superuser C<root>.
=head1 CAUTIONS
The Authentication Server is obsolete and is provided only for sites that
need to use it while preparing for a migration to Kerberos KDC. It will be
removed in a future version of OpenAFS.
The Authentication Server is possibly unable to create these files on some
operating systems that AFS otherwise supports, making the B<kdb> command
inoperative.
