I looked at coda not too long ago. It has it's advantages (one big one being that it was free), but the disadvantages were: - Wasn't compatible with AFS at all (clients could coexist on the same box, but the two couldn't talk to each other). - Documentation was rather sparse - Didn't use Kerberos for authentication - Didn't do some of the cooler things that AFS can do (like moving volumes on the fly, etc). It's definately worth looking at it, but since you need a server as well as a client to test it out, I think you have a lot of work ahead of you :-) --Ken
