Andrew File System

[Sheldon Dubrowin]

Howdy All,
	I have been to a couple conferences and a couple people have
mentioned AFS (Andrew File System).  I have tried to do some searches to
learn more about AFS, but I had a hard time finding the information I was
looking for.  I just did one more search (this one on Google) and did find a
great page on AFS.  AFS is considered more secure because, it appears, it
works only with kerberos.  Both the client and server authenticate to each
other.  No trusts.  I figured I would mention it here since the meeting I
missed was about security and this is something I've been kinda thinking
about for a while.  The great AFS page I found was:
http://www.alw.nih.gov/WWW/AFS-resources.html
The FAQ was tremendous and actually answered some of my questions.  I hope
this helps you, if you are interested in security.

	Shel
