I've also had a bit of a look into a GUI for openafs. the Java API looked promising, but requires a kaserver cell. so doesnt work with kerberos setups
the perl AFS module also looked good.
http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/~nog/doc/afsperl.html
but currently segfaults with a multi-threaded perl, which most linux distributions now package.

I had a look at the openafs libs for coding something in C.
but couldnt find any decent docs or examples, and I didnt have the time to learn the API without a point in the right direction. using the openafs libs directly would be my prefered way, with a cross platform GUI toolkit. If anyone can suggest a decent place to start looking into this, please do so.
So currently I'm using perl and AFS::Command (in CPAN), which is a perl OO wrapper to the commmand line tools...along with perl-gtk
which is far from great.

The thought had once crossed my mind of porting the Windows Server Manager and User Manager tools to WxWidgets (formerly WxWindows).
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
It might be a way to get a common GUI tool on multiple platforms (Windows, GTK+, MacOS).
The windows tools are by no means perfect, but they are nice for "newbies" that feel comfortable with the mouse.
My previous experience with WxWidgets suggests that if someone can handle MFC, WxWidgets are not a stretch.
Anyone else (thought of /looked into) this?
Thanks !
