Whoops, I suppose they just talk about sensitive AFS server
directories. There are some sensitive Client ones too, although most
sensitive data is stored in the kernel (which only root has access).

-The most sensitive directory is the cache (/usr/vice/cache is default
location) where only root should be able to read/write.

In the /usr/vice/etc directory:
-rw-------  1 root            0 Jun 26 05:33 /usr/vice/etc/AFSLog
-rw-r--r--  1 root        22645 Jun 29 02:14 /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
-rw-r--r--  1 root           12 Feb 18  1993 /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root       131072 Feb 23  1993 /usr/vice/etc/afsd
-rw-r--r--  1 root           27 Jan 17 01:51 /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root       196608 Feb 23  1993 /usr/vice/etc/fs

- sensitive debugging tools such as kdump is protected
by the /dev/kmem mode bits, so it's not a big issue:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root       221184 Jun 15  1994 /usr/vice/etc/kdump

- /usr/vice/etc/{modload,dkload} should also be protected by only root
access.
- If you place any other incidental binaries on the local client disk,
you must set mode bits accordingly.
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root       245760 Sep 30  1994 /usr/vice/bin/klog

Hope this helps. I will see about fixing the install guide to include
the client recommendations. But, PLEASE keep in mind that this is
my opinion and not an official supported recommendation. Sorry for any
confusion.
