If this comes to pass, I may end up making an effort to get it working on FreeBSD as a hobby during my spare time. Some things to look at that I've also been poking at: * Apparently the newest development (1.3.x) OpenAFS servers will work on FreeBSD, but the client is not production quality. * /usr/ports/net/arla implements a client that supposedly works on FreeBSD, though I have yet to test it. * OpenAFS is looking for people interested in making their client work on FreeBSD. Hope this helps. I'd like to see FreeBSD get much better AFS and general clustering/internetworking support. For example, easier to configure LDAP and Kerberos. Must.. compete.. with.. Active..
