I have not tried it, since the openafs mailing list had some talk of the latest (CVS) snapshots of OpenAFS not working on FreeBSD 6.1. I thought that meant OpenAFS was broken due to changes in FreeBSD, which has certainly happened in the past. But in re-reading those messages, it looks like the problem might have been specific to OpenAFS on FreeBSD/amd64. Since I am not running on AMD64 (yet...), I should take another look at the recent snapshots of OpenAFS on FreeBSD. I have been focused on the upcoming 1.4.1 release of OpenAFS, since that will include support for MacOS 10.4 (Tiger). The web pages for those release-candidates only have binary packages for MacOS 10 and Windows, and I must admit I didn't try them on FreeBSD. Thanks for prodding me along to take another look at this.
