Thanks.

We usully build with kth-krb and doesn't detect those errors,
fs is pretty useless w/o kafs. Guess we should disable it when
we dont find a kafs.
README:
If you are using MIT-Kerberos or CNS Kerberos you can find a replacement
for libkafs in http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/dist/krbafs.html. Then you
need to use the --with-krbafs=dir option when running configure.
Thanks to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@dementia.org> for making this
available for the american users.

The pags are one thing to use together. Another thing that I'm intresed in
is the DB-servers that you currently are writing on.
(Yale Protection server ?)
I don't know about Venus/xfs compability, I have not yet looked at
your rpc interface.

Arla's xfs-module is inspirerd by coda's venus. (I'm not the designer).

At least AndrewBenchmark work. I have built a kernel in arla for
a long time ago. For now I don't know...

Get kthkrb from ftp://ftp.nada.kth.se/pub/krb/src/ and build
the afstools, or use transarc aklog (guess it should work).
/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/i386_linux2/local/bin/aklog will
probably be a good place to find it ;)
