What advantages > does it have over NFS or UFS? I know that MIT and Iowa State both use it, for Projects Athena and Vincent, respectively. AFS can effectively handle much larger groups of clients than NFS. I believe it is also much more secure (the above use it with Kerberos). UFS is the disk file system, ratehr than the distributed file system. A UFS directory could be shared with either NFS or AFS. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
