Request RPC code points from the AFS-3 registrar, and say they are for institution-private use. You don't need to say anything else. I _think_ the only thing you absolutely require are RPCs for the VL service. 'Normally' you would want some for the RXAFS (client<->server) and VOLSER (vos<->volserver, volserver<->volserver), but at least for a 1-server scenario, you don't need that. Then you (or someone you pay, etc) implement the client and server stuff for the RPCs you design. You don't need approval from anyone else. As long as you don't try to distribute the result as 'AFS' (or anything with AFS in the name), but rather either keep it completely private, or be clear that it is a non-standard extension to OpenAFS, I have trouble seeing you encountering trademark issues. Since... well, plenty of other similar modifications (unrelated to ipv6) already exist. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
