Yep. I did the port to NetBSD. It probably won't easily fit into FreeBSD 1.1.x, since the VFS interface in NetBSD-1.0_BETA is 4.4BSD-Lite based and it's substantially different from the BNR-2 VFS. However, MIT can't just give the port it away, since most of the code is still Transarc's. So the MIT licensing folks are negotiating with Transarc in an attempt to get permission to redistribute binaries to other AFS binary licensees and source diffs to other AFS source licensees. I'm not involved in those negotiations, so I don't know where they stand. [Both the NetBSD port and the Linux port are in the same boat redistribution-wise] -- John Kohl <jtk@atria.com> or <jtkohl@mit.edu> working for but not representing: Atria Software --------- What are you pretending not to know?
