If they do, please let us know. I'd definitely toss in the equivalent of
a couple of steak dinners (personally, not "corporately").

As the recent discussions on the SAGE mailing list (and elsewhere) have
brought up, we're going to need either AFS or NFSv4 (client *and*
server) or an equivalent in the near future to be able to meet newer and
more stringent security policies. As a Unix and security consultant,
solutions that address that on FreeBSD are a topic of interest to me :-)

Yes, thanks for the link Garance.
