I think you may want to reread the Admin Guide section 1.3 states
what processes should run on the file server(s).
What is the purpose of running the bosserver on AFS clients?
What processes does the BOS server monitoring on these client
machines if they are not AFS file servers?
The contents of the BosConfig file have the processes (services)
that are being monitored. This should be located in /usr/afs/local

Yep the contents of the KeyFile are critical
