This is a personal machine. The interest in OpenAFS was its price. IBM/Transarc AFS was out of my price range--particularly since my use of AFS is work related. Having work pay for it on this machine was an argument I didn't think would succeed, or be justifiable. When work switched to OpenAFS file servers, then I got interested in the 1.3.64 OpenAFS client and installed it on this machine. On the other hand, my Windows 2000 Professional desktop at work has the IBM/Transarc AFS client installed on it.
Stating this more succinctly, IBM/Transarc AFS was never installed on this machine. > Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 22:28:52 -0400 > From: Jeffrey Altman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sorry I missed that.
