Yes, I know I = was the one what originally proposed the meta port but I have changed my = mind :) The reason we had a server and a client port originally was that = the server was the only bit working and the kernel model was set not to = compile. The client was was arla client. Now that both the openafs = server and client are supported by the openafs team I can see no reason = why it shouldn't be all in one port. The port should have separate rc = variable to allow the administrator to only start the client or the = server if they choose to. openafs_client_enable=3D"YES" and = openafs_server_enable=3D"YES" for example. This gets around all the = conflicting file problems. The kernel module need only be loaded if the = client is required. This would seem to be a much easier and cleaner = solution. My 2 cents, Tony
