I've been reading about OpenAFS for about a year, and administering
FreeBSD servers full time for over 4 years now (wow! Been that
long...), and I've been wanting something to combat the "roaming
profiles" that windows provides, and it seems that OpenAFS would do
the trick. Here's what I have so far:
The server I have set up is approx 3Ghz P4 with 2GB RAM, and a
mirrored hardware SATA RAID with 200GB of available storage. I've set
up a pretty typical server install using about 15GB of that space,
with mountpoints /, /etc, /var, /tmp, and swap. The intent was to use
the rest as OpenAFS space, eventually housing /home for some Mac
mini's in a call center. This may eventually grow to replicate files
at other locations, but starting small here.
I've downloaded both the binaries and the sources, but I'm not clear
on where it all goes. Generally speaking, sources provide "make
install" to set things up for you, or singular statically compiled
binaries to place in /usr/local. This is neither, and I can't find
any instructions.
The documentation goes on about compiling your kernel to support
OpenAFS, but after grepping for afs references, I've come up empty.
So where do I need to go from here?
(BTW, I would have searched the archives more thoroughly, but there
doesn't appear to be any search functionality for the archives!)

My 2 cents:
I love FreeBsd .. my first entry into Unix was FreeBsd. I have lots of
boxes that are FreeBsd. However if you are setting up a cell for the
first time do yourself a favor and do it in Linux or Solaris or one of
the OS's that have long standing support. :-) .
I expect flames.
