The bosserver creates a pair of symlinks in the client's configuration
directory (/usr/vice/etc) during startup, if the configuration files are
not present:
/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB -> /usr/afs/etc/CellServDB
/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell -> /usr/afs/etc/ThisCell
Due to a bug in the bosserver (which is not fixed on 1.6.x), the
symlinks are only created when the /usr/vice/etc directory already
exists when the bosserver is started.
If the bosserver is started before the client is installed (and the
/usr/vice/etc directory is present), then the packaging script will
write to the symlink CellServDB, overwriting the server's CellServDB with
the contents of the client's CellServDB.local and CellServDB.dist files.
Also, if the client is started after the bosserver creates the symlinks,
the client init script will overwrite the server's CellServDB with the
contents of the client's CellServDB.local and CellServDB.dist files.
Update the packaging and the client init script to delete this symlink
if present, since it is only intended to provide stub configuration
for the client utilities while setting up an initial server. Then,
the updating of the CellServDB will create a local file, instead of
following the symlink and overwriting the server CellServDB.
