Well, flaws in the default configuration.  The LAN Manager Hash (for
compatibility) strikes me first.  You can crack a *lot* of LM hashes in a
few seconds, with nothing more than a network sniffer and L0phtcrack.

I think arla will serve AFS on FreeBSD.  Coda will for sure (the Coda
server is userspace, requires no kernel support).  The client is an option
in the 4.x series (at least).  One thing: a friend of mine was running
Coda on Linux, and claims his cell crashed taking all his data with it.
I don't know what he did, but I haven't done it yet. :)
