If you have more questions regarding openafs, ask
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
what you're asking about is really AFS-centric, not openBSD-centric.

Or you could just have a look at net/openafs port...
hey Rico,
short answer is "yes" its possible, but the net/openafs port is subtly
broken. i plan to re-test openafs 1.4.4 when 4.1 is released publically
(as I donate but don't grab CDs).
i've been using openafs on openbsd for about 3 years now happily in the
main apart from a headache between 3.8-3.9 i think.
currently i'm running openbsd40 + inbuilt heimdal + openafs 1.4.3 + (a
few patches) without any issues, other than the recent openafs security
advisory. with a bit of support from todd@ hopefully 1.4.4 will be in
4.1-current soon afterwards.
if you're hosting openafs for larger networks then i believe that the
recommendation is usually rhel & i suspect solaris. best to check that
with openafs-info tho.
in my experience, broadly speaking the biggest headache is likely to be
that the arla version we have in openbsd is not the latest & greatest.
for a small network it works fine for me, YMMV. it's not IMHO always
plug-n-play solution for laptop users but this could be debated on
openafs-info again.
i suggest you contact me offline on this as i've got some notes on
putting this all together. i'll send these through.
