No. The current version (still in beta, sadly), supports/will support
AFS. There are a number of people running it on Suns. I think there
may be a person or so running it on Ultrix, but that's less well
supported for the moment.

Well, hard to say. Unless someone else does it (and we're more than
happy to integrate ports, hint hint), it's not going to get done. The
current work plan for the next six months includes adding support for
rs/6ks in the main-line source. If there is time after that, we will
probably work on Alpha-OSF/1 and Solaris. Without knowing much about
SysV internals, I am certain that Solaris will be a bitch.
