</div></div>With the default CellSrvDB you will have variety of cells to choose<br>

OpenAFS.org does too. &nbsp;Any cell that has a directory that allows<br>

The one thing you might be missing is that AFS has a global namespace.<br>
That means that anyone participating in the global namespace is visible<br>
under /afs (or \\afs on Windows). &nbsp;Once your client is running you will<br>
see every cell that wants to be seen. &nbsp;Simply change to a directory and<br>
