-<P>Defines client machine's cell membership
-<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
-<P>The client version of the <B>ThisCell</B> file defines the complete
-Internet domain-style name (for example, <B>abc.com</B>) of the
-cell to which the local client machine belongs. It must reside in the
-<B>/usr/vice/etc</B> directory on every AFS client machine. To
-change a client machine's cell membership, edit the file and reboot the
-machine.
-<P>The file is in ASCII format and contains a character string on a single
-line. The <I>IBM AFS Quick Beginnings</I> instructs the
-administrator to create it during the installation of each client
-machine.
-<P>The client machine's cell membership determines three defaults
-important to its functioning:
-<UL>
-<P><LI>The cell in which the machine's users authenticate by default.
-The effect is two-fold:
-<UL>
-<P><LI>The AFS-modified login utilities and the <B>klog</B> command
-interpreter contact an Authentication Server in the cell named in the
-<B>ThisCell</B> file (unless <B>-cell</B> argument to the
-<B>klog</B> command specifies an alternate cell).
-<P><LI>The command interpreters combine the cell name with the password that the
-user provides, generating an encryption key from the combination. For
-authentication to succeed, both the cell name and password must match the ones
-used to generate the user's encryption key stored in the Authentication
-Database.
-</UL>
-<P><LI>The cell the Cache Manager considers its local, or home, cell. By
-default, the Cache Manager allows programs that reside in its home cell to run
-with setuid permission, but not programs from foreign cells. For more
-details, see the <B>fs getcellstatus</B> and <B>fs setcell</B>
-reference pages.
-<P><LI>Which AFS server processes the local AFS command interpreters contact by
-default as they execute commands issued on the machine.
-</UL>
-<P>The client version of the <B>ThisCell</B> file is distinct from the
-server version, which resides in the <B>/usr/afs/etc</B> directory on each
-AFS server machine. If a server machine also runs as a client, it is
-acceptable for the server and client versions of the file on the same machine
-to name different cells. However, the behavior that results from this
-configuration can be more confusing than useful.
