I understand why all of the bos operations are checked against a
separate authorization list (bos adduser) rather than membership in
system:administrators -- the ptserver might be down and you need to
use bos to get it back up.

However, it seems that the volserver bases "vos dump" permission on
whether or not a user's key is in the "bos adduser" list rather than
whether or not they are in system:administrators.  Is there a reason
for this?

You can have servers with a more limited set of admins.

Actually, now that I think about it, if all the ptserver instances are
down, how would an admin be able to aklog (in order to run bos commands)?

-localauth. (but aklog doesn't *require* ptserver; see afslog)
