But they're also migrating from AFS to DFS, aren't they? Maybe its not
an issue here, but wasn't IMAP4 selected in part because of its built-in
hooks for handling authentication ACLs?
Has it been determined whether DFS will play any role in CMUs
distributed mail project? (Specifically, will the IMAP mail store
reside on local server disks, or within DFS?)
Thanks!
