It modifices the /usr/arla/etc/TheseCells, tools that users libkafs will
look at this fil when given no explicit argument.

	: lha at nutcracker ; unlog 
	: lha at nutcracker ; tokens

	Tokens held by Arla:

	: lha at nutcracker ; aklog
	
	Tokens held by Arla:
	
	User's (AFS ID 913) tokens for afs at su.se [Expires Aug  6 23:01]
	User's (AFS ID 1495719) tokens for afs at pdc.kth.se [Expires Aug  6 23:02]
	User's (AFS ID 2683047) tokens for afs at nada.kth.se [Expires Aug  6 23:02]
	User's (AFS ID 18347) tokens for afs at stacken.kth.se [Expires Aug  6 23:02]
	User's (AFS ID 2017900) tokens for afs at e.kth.se [Expires Aug  6 23:02]
	   --End of list--

	: lha at nutcracker ; cat /usr/arla/etc/TheseCells
	e.kth.se
	stacken.kth.se
	nada.kth.se
	pdc.kth.se
	su.se


If a user have a $HOME/.TheseCells, its also appended to the list of cells
to get tokens for.

Is stores "yes" or "no" in /usr/arla/etc/startatboot that the start script
/Library/StartupItems/Arla/Arla looks at when booting.
