It would actually be better to go to www.openafs.org and subscribe to the mailing-lists there. They have a list for OpenAFS-port-freebsd , and that gets more traffic than the freebsd-afs mailing list. The freebsd-afs mailing list was created before openafs showed up, and was really intended in getting a "transarc client" for freebsd. That did not get very far before IBM decided to spin-off openAFS. I'll also say that I am looking forward to openafs clients and servers for freebsd. I realize arla should work as a client, but it would be easier for me to sell FreeBSD with an "official openAFS client" here at RPI. Right now the openAFS for linux client is one of the things which causes us to use linux for some new servers. ARLA may very well be fine code, but politically it is a harder sell. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
