Hi Everyone,
Just seeing if is there a better Network File system than NFS in the
standard Mandrake 8.2 Linux, something like OpenAFS..
http://www.openafs.org/ it sort of bugs me than anyone can walk up and
plug a notebook in a NFS network and probably connect to it.. Just some
ideas please.
As there is with anything, there are pros and cons to AFS. Meanwhile
I've never used OpenAFS, but I have worked with and have some experience
with AFS.
If implimented, the security of AFS can be very nice, but AFS is not
very stable. It's been known to go down quite often, then closing you

I have been looking around.. doesn't look like there is much better
than AFS.. but it needs patching of the Linux kernel, which is a
turnoff, and is not implemented in the standard Mandrake setup. SMB may
also be a consideration.. but having a fstab file with a passwords in
