If a notice has to be sent for an AFS cell, such as media-lab.mit.edu,
it tries to canonicalize the hostname first... If the filsrv instance
is specified with "."'s, it should assume that the operator knows what
he is doing and should not canonicalize the name. In this instance, the
wrong notification is sent, since people will be subscribed to
filsrv, media-lab.mit.edu, *
not
filsrv, media-lab.media.mit.edu, *
and the cell is called:
media-lab.mit.edu
(No, this cell is not in the CellServDB yet, but it is forming, and
already has afs.media-lab\.mit\.edu registered with Kerberos...)
