Thomas,
That's right! Don't run any "other such crud" on your AFS servers.
It is especially important for AFS dbservers _not_ to be
"general purpose" login systems (that is if you care about
the security of your cell).
If you care about the performance of your AFS cell you will also
keep your fileservers as pure fileservers.
