+Welcome to the [OpenAFS][2] wiki. This is a web-based collaboration for
+collecting, maintaining, and distributing information about OpenAFS, an
+open-source implementation of the AFS distributed filesystem.
OpenAFS is a caching, distributed, network-based filesystem for securely and
efficiently sharing files over a private network or over the internet. OpenAFS
-stores files on file server machines. OpenAFS clients read and write data to

the file servers. Data is cached locally by clients, making subsequent reads

+very fast. File servers automatically notify clients when data is
changed, keeping data in sync. OpenAFS clients integrate with the client
operating system to create a seamless network file system. Client side support
is provided for wide-range of operating systems, including Windows, MacOS,
Solaris, and Linux.
-OpenAFS requires a Kerberos 5 realm for mutual authentication of users and
-servers. Kerberos implementations include Active Directory, MIT Kerberos, and
-Heimdal kerberos.
