AFS requires somewhat unpleasant inbound connections. My understanding is that it uses UDP-based callbacks to clients when open files change, and possibly in other circumstances, so for a quick peek at your home directory it'll probably be fine but in a long session the NAT will forget the pairing between the external UDP port and your client and bad things will start to happen. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
