Note that AFS requires kerberos. It's not a bad place to be at, but is
a complex pre-requisite.
Also AFS has different file permission semantics's than the 'normal'
unix model. Specifically an AFS acl applies to a directory and all
files it contains, but never to an individual file. This makes dirs
that need a mix of private and public files (e.g. $HOME/.xauthority,
$HOME/.ssh/*_key) tricky to implement.
I'd really like a system with AFS's namespaces, kerberos authentication,
server redundancy, and client caching, but NFSv4's more unix like
permisions model + ACL's.
