+AFS is a distributed filesystem product, pioneered at Carnegie Mellon
+University and supported and developed as a product by Transarc
+Corporation (now IBM Pittsburgh Labs). It offers a client-server
+architecture for file sharing, providing location independence,
+scalability and transparent migration capabilities for data. IBM
+branched the source of the AFS product, and made a copy of the source
+available for community development and maintenance. They called the
+release OpenAFS.
+
+To build the kernel module
+ $ cd src/libafs
+ $ cp MakefileProto.NBSD Makefile
+ $ make obj && make && make install
