I doubt you'll get permission to distribute the sources to anyone without an AFS source license. You might be able to distribute binaries, although I'm almost certain they didn't even give that permission to the Linux port. Either way, an AFS port is still useful. There are many organizations that have AFS source licenses that would like to have it work on FreeBSD. I'll also note that the cache manager bug I'm talking about was most clearly with FreeBSD's VM (and or the port of AFS to it). The same AFS 3.3 sources run on Linux and NetBSD without problems. We've used similar 3.3 sources on OSF/1 systems (for x86 here at OSF, not to be confused with what is now Digital UNIX) for years. John LoVerso The Open Group (formerly OSF) Research Institute
