Any input would be helpful. Currently, as far as I know, there is no version of AFS client available for FreeBSD although I keep hearing about openAFS coming. I wish it would. We use AFS here and so have to use something besides FreeBSD on those systems that need AFS access - unfortunately. I know a BSD port of AFS was done at least once. I know the person[s] who did it as we were working in the same group at the time (I didn't do any porting work). But, I suppose creating a complete OpenAFS has the same legal considerations as creating the clean BSD (clean of any Bell Labs / ATT code) and that Linux is currently being harrassed by SCO about is more of a total project than doing a port to BSD. I keep hoping it will come along though. If someone has any more encouraging information than this, please post it and indicate where this can best be tracked. ////jerry > Thank you, > Brian Gehrs > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
