[OpenAFS] I need some information

[Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri]

Hello,

I'm considering to move from NFS + YP to AFS + LDAP.

It's a university lab system and about 150 simultaneous users online, each
one have about 50mb quota avaiable in their /home, which will be provided
via AFS.

Users login using gdm (RH9.0) and it was not clear to me if I have to do
any special thing to get users logged in in both system and AFS. There is
any way to have user just type in password and have everything mounted?
Maybe using some pam module or something? Maybe this could go in FAQ?
   Also, I don't know if it matters but users have flexibility to use
various window managers, screensavers and others, so if I need to patch
those please say where do I get those patches... maybe this could be
transparently handled by pam?

They also need access to IMAP, SMTP and SSH, I need anything special to
provide those services?

And the last info I need: If I have to provide 100mb/user 1000 users, 300
clients (simultaneous; 1GbitE), what server configuration would you use?
(Processor, RAM, Raid (IDE/SCSI), ...). Clients have a good amount of RAM
(1Gb)

Thank you very much,
