Hi.  AFS-Kerberos lurker/newbie here!

Thanx for the link Win32 client software.  I'm looking at turning on the
Kerberos 5 services on my RedHat Linux 7 networks, so those
non-filesystem related Kerberosized clients will come in handy for my
Windows client.  Any other comments/suggestions before I try them?

I'm an old NIS-NFS/Samba user who hasn't done much else.  I really want
to get away from this dated setup.  OpenAFS-Kerberos seems to be the
avenue I want to take.

I've also been reading about a number of LDAP-GSSAPI/SASL-Kerberos
implementations.  There are a few good HOWTOs out there now, and some
Debian packages.  I'm hoping to setup a test network shortly to see if I
can get it all working for Linux, Solaris and Win2K (possibly XP?)
clients.

P.S.  Does the OpenAFS client work for Windows 2000 work on Windows XP? 
I assume not, since XP is so new.
