Just set AFSCLIENT to FALSE in /etc/athena/rc.conf. IT should DTRT.
You might need to set RVDCLIENT to false also (this is a misnomer,
RVDCLIENT controls whether the machine tries to attach system packs).
Both of these can mbe configured using mkserv.

The normal configuration is appropriate for this. (zhm needs to be running)

Then normal configuration is appropriate for this.

The defaults are probably correct for everything else. Remem ber
people will have to maintain this machine, we don't want to eliminate
too many things. (this is assuming that mkserv ops will be run on the
machine.)
