Recently I have become very intrieged by the AFS concept. I am having to
support "traditional" NOSs on top of TCP/IP, LAN Man, NOVELL, and NFS. I cannot
stand how any of them work. Major protocol and scaling flaws in each of them.
However for me to get really excited about AFS, I need to know if:
There is a DOS client component
What TCP/IP kernels does it support
What is its memory foot print
Does it work with Windows
Does it support DOS 3.x record locking
Each AFS server have to have its own KDC, or does it follow the
"standard" Kerberos model of only a few KDCs in secure locations (it
will be hard to locate all AFS servers in secure locations).
Well that is a start...
