    Starting Monday, March 6, 2000, around 12:00 noon,
    two of the AFS servers will be moved behind the
    RHIC firewall and be assigned new IP addresses.
    
    AFS client machines, both remote and local *must*
    have the CellServDB file modified before that
    date as explained below. Failing to update
    CellServDB will result in AFS clients' inability
    to authenticate and write to AFS.
    
    Essentially, the CellServDB update consists of
    replacing the lines listing the afs servers with
    these new ones:
    
    >rhic            #Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
    130.199.80.92          #rafs01.rhic.bnl.gov
    130.199.6.52           #rafs02.rcf.bnl.gov
    130.199.6.51           #rafs03.rcf.bnl.gov
    
    The easiest to way to implement this update is
    to perform these two steps:
    
    1. Copy the updated CellServDB:
    cp /afs/rhic/common/etc/CellServDB /usr/vice/etc
    
    2. Update the kernel-resident list of servers:
    fs newcell -name rhic -servers rafs01.rhic.bnl.gov rafs02.rcf.bnl.gov
    rafs03.rcf.bnl.gov
    
    Computing heads of the five experiments (atlas,
    brahms, phenix, phobos, and brahms) should
    forward this message to afs admins at remote
    collaborations both outside and inside U.S.A.
    
    If you have questions regarding this update,
    please contact me by e-mail at edward@bnl.gov or
    by phone at 516-344-2072.
