Hi,

After reading up on 4.4 BSD NFS, I noted it has everything I need with
respect to the fact that it includes Kerberos security. However, it
requires 4.4 BSD, at least as it's implemented now, and doesn't seem to
be easily portable. A number of people suggested when I inquired abotu
this earlier that I just run NetBSD; alas this isn't an option, AFS for
NetBSD/Sparc doesn't exist, and I need AFS. So, given that, has anyone
done any sort of work on porting 4.4 BSD NFS to run under SunOS, or
anything else, for that matter?
