| | 7 | == Goals == |
|---|
| | 8 | |
|---|
| | 9 | Eventually, the MacAthena project would like to offer: |
|---|
| | 10 | |
|---|
| | 11 | * Full command-line compatibility with Linux Athena |
|---|
| | 12 | * Cocoa applications to provide easy-to-use interfaces to common Athena tasks |
|---|
| | 13 | * A package based system allowing MacAthena users to setup anything from a few utilities to a system with Kerberos-based logins and AFS home directories |
|---|
| | 14 | * Support in common lockers, providing MacAthena users with access to the wealth of software available in AFS |
|---|
| | 15 | |
|---|
| | 16 | == What We Have == |
|---|
| | 17 | |
|---|

| | 21 | |
