I'm a recent convert to FreeBSD (about 2 years ago). I'll spare the details (potential flame bait). I'll just say it is so nice to have ONE distribution of my O/S and leave the inferences to what I was using before as an exercise to the reader :) Anyways, using the very well maintained ports I have never had any troubles. However, I am on a fact finding mission. I have been digging around the 'Net looking for AFS client information for FreeBSD. It appears OpenAFS does not run on FreeBSD and many point to Arla. I visited the project's homepage and I noticed that it stated that FreeBSD 5.2.1 is a specifically supported (my version) system. I tried to make the port and noticed it was listed as "broken" (as well as several errors after I type "make" in /usr/ports/net/arla). So without wasting any more time on the mailing list then need be- what is the status of Arla on FreeBSD? Is there a working port for 5.2.1? Or a more general question- if one has a 5.2.1 machine (i386) and wants AFS client connectivity- what options are available to him (if any)? Thank you for any guidance that you can give. - Damian
