[OpenAFS] Linux OpenAFS & EncFS?

[Jukka Tuominen]

I just think that this might be a good time to get European funding for Inte=
rnet security projects like this?=20

Personally, I feel a bit bad that a great system like OpenAFS needs to be st=
itched with a separate VPN and file encryption software, when it could be al=
l built-in.=20
