    The Arla client used to work quite well, and probably still works quite
    well on 4.x. I'm not sure of the status of Arla on 5.x. It sounded like
    Tom Maher had the OpenAFS server code up and running on FreeBSD, so you
    should at least have access to a pair of AFS client/server that work.
