A barely functional anonymous read-only AFS client was contributed to Linux completely independent of OpenAFS and was accepted for some reason. I believe this is what that option refers to. I've not tried it personally, but I've not heard anything very good about it. This unfortunately isn't a sign that any of the problems facing OpenAFS have really been solved, since the functionality of that client is so incomplete and rudimentary as to have not encountered any of the issues that OpenAFS faces. (In particular, it doesn't do any authentication at all, so it doesn't care about PAGs.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
