I'd like to use the ATK private bboard as private meeting tool in a multi-machine environment. If anyone has experienced this before, I'd be interested in having some opinion about the following points: -The bboards.ins file that describes how to install the AMS BBoards system says that in order to run the Bboard , "Every BB machine must be a workstation type that supports AFS". What about UNIX machines which are not workstations (I mean machines which you can connect X terminals or dumb terminals )? Is it possible to run AMS with private Bboards in a secure way on that machines with (or without ) AFS . If AFS is mandatory, could some kind soul give me some information about it (available on what kind of machines, copyright for the US and in the rest of the world, ease of porting, etc.) -what do you think about the reliability of the security and authentification mechanism (compare to the MIT Kerberos system for instance). thanks for your help. -- Jean-Luc Oun, Bull ---------------------------------- Software Development Methodology email: oun@cl.bull.fr Les-Clayes(Paris), France tel: (33) (1) 34 62 70 00 ext. 6374
