In 3.5.3.51 it's present as a fileserver argument. Should not differ
in 3.6. Today, you can only change the rights of system:administrator.

As Transarc never used this idea in their AFS product, they never
documented it. If you are using Arla as AFS client, it does use AFSDB
records. In the same way as you specify MX records for the servers
that serve mail for your domain, you specify AFSDB records for your
AFS database servers that serve your cell. Examples from some of the
few who have below.
