I'll second that. every few months I test OpenAFS on FreeBSD and every few months I think it's only a few months away from working ;-) In a Kerberos environment, AFS is a beautiful thing. > In particular, if I can get this thing working reasonably well, > I'd like to turn this into a package building cluster for > FreeBSD/UltraSPARC, and maybe see if there are some other > applications I can put it to during the idle times. That would be handy. My U5 isn't all that fast (mostly due to the IDE crap interface), so building large apps is reasonably annoying. It's one of the few boxes that I do portupgrades monthly (or less) rather than as they come out. -T -- "Nostalgia is a seductive liar." -- George W. Ball
