So getting access to some wireless router and change the dhcp option for DNS searchlist is enough and the next one using for example git on a laptop with afs installed and running the -afsdb option will read the contents of my cell and interpret it as a repository... Hopefully nobody is using -afsdb on a laptop or there is no application which can be used in such a way for bad things... I think a switch to disable the usage of the DNS searchlist in this case would be fine?
