Period will cause you no end of grief if used in AFS account names. Kerberos
assumes a period separates a domain(cell) from a principal(account). Don't
use them. When I ran into this problem in our cell 2 years ago, I renamed all
the bad accounts to "-admin" instead of ".admin". Fortunately, there were only
a small number (5 or so) of them at the time.
