The OpenAFS param files tend to be out of date but I'm planning on getting on top of that too. There's a port of OpenAFS 1.5.30 I put together available right next to the arla stuff here: http://setfilepointer.com/pub/afs/FreeBSD/ I tend to install the server everywhere I install arla because the vos and bos commands in arla in incomplete compared to their implementation in openafs. I suppose I should nag someone at OpenAFS to include the new param files I made for newer FreeBSDs (not that the new param files are particularly inspired). It'd be great if a few people would comment on this port and then I guess I'll create a PR to get it included in the ports tree at the same time as arla. Sound good? Also, who's writing the FreeBSD wiki? I'm embarrased to tell people to go look at the gentoo documentation for AFS. :) --=20 Alec Kloss alec@SetFilePointer.com IM: angryspamhater@yahoo.com PGP key at http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xA241980E "No Bunny!" -- Simon, from Frisky Dingo --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHwgkN2s33paJBmA4RAs1UAJ4uxwpk8hCnDBwmxKSo3vWQrq6jrwCeL1Pu lRFyBffiQeHtb1ddLiB3GQc= =l360 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sm4nu43k4a2Rpi4c--
