Hi everyone,

This is probably a real beginner question but why do some cellnames begin
with a period? I couldn't find anything about this in the docs, or perhaps
I missed it but I was hoping someone could clear up my confusion.

example:
There are two entries the cell name, one with a '.' in front of it and one
without.

ls /afs/<Cell-Name>
ls /afs/.<Cell-Name>

The cell without the '.' has folders named: service and users inside it,
The cell with the '.' has folders named: service, users, bin, and share.


Thanks,
Hunter McMillen
