hi there, i don't know if you're aware of this, but DFS was originally using DCE/RPC and it was called DCE/DFS. when it became AFS, the dce/rpc mechanism was replaced with an AFS-specific RPC mechanism. dcerpc.net is now hosting freedce - a GPL version of dcerpc 1.1. i was wondering if anyone would be interested in putting dce/rpc back into AFS? all best, luke
