Currently, as far as I know, there is no version of AFS client
available for FreeBSD although I keep hearing about openAFS
coming.    I wish it would.   We use AFS here and so have to
use something besides FreeBSD on those systems that need AFS
access - unfortunately.

I know a BSD port of AFS was done at least once.  I know the
person[s] who did it as we were working in the same group at
the time (I didn't do any porting work).   But, I suppose creating
a complete OpenAFS has the same legal considerations as creating 
the clean BSD (clean of any Bell Labs / ATT code) and that Linux 
is currently being harrassed by SCO about is more of a total project 
than doing a port to BSD.   I keep hoping it will come along though.

If someone has any more encouraging information than this, please
post it and indicate where this can best be tracked.
