If they do, please let us know. I'd definitely toss in the equivalent of a couple of steak dinners (personally, not "corporately"). As the recent discussions on the SAGE mailing list (and elsewhere) have brought up, we're going to need either AFS or NFSv4 (client *and* server) or an equivalent in the near future to be able to meet newer and more stringent security policies. As a Unix and security consultant, solutions that address that on FreeBSD are a topic of interest to me :-) > I think if I knew it was going to FreeBSD work, I could swing that.
