Please don't use the Openfiler installation as a development platform. 
Rather, download rpath Linux 1.0 and follow their instructions for making
a development system - it's rather simple. You can then build / create
troves and even setup your own repository on rbuilder which you can 
direct users to pull packages from.

That's *very* interesting. I just checked it out. ACL and quota support. Nice!
I'll definitely investigate getting support back in Openfiler. Shouldn't be too 
hard.
