Re: afs?

["E. Scott Larsen" <larsene@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone's replies.  Summary of my expierence so far:

I tried ftp'n the package at the first replie's address, but the server 
was always full (didn't allow more anon users)

Next came the reply suggesting that arla would surely work, regardless 
of whether the port is broken or not.  I went to arla's web page and 
found a freebsd 4.6 and higher binary package (I'm running 4.7-STABLE). 
I've installed this along with ports/security/krb5, and it all appears 
to be working for me (I can edit my files that exist in afs space on 
another server).  So I'm stickin' with this, unless something comes up.

It appears OpenAFS is still in the works.

Thanks again to everyone for speedy replies and offerings of packages. 
I _really_ appreciate it.

Any tips for a random newby setting up a generic client?

Thanks.
