Is it a typical configuration?

OK, let's find out what we can do here. Is it possible to configure
a client/server software to use non-default values? Say,
ETCBASE/openafs-client/* and ETCBASE/openafs-server/*?

But next, what to do with krb.conf? Seems there is no possibility
to use different kerberos configuration file for client and server.
