[OpenAFS-devel] afs-nfs translator

[David Thompson]

We mirror several *nix distributions (i.e. Red Hat, OpenBSD, etc.) with the 
data stored in AFS.  The translator allows us to re-serve that data for 
NFS-based installs, both locally and remotely.  All of our needs for the 
translator are unauthenticated.  We would certainly like to see (at least 
unauthenticated) support appear in OpenAFS.
