UNIX at SLAC
Updated: 17 Dec 2001

AFS is a distributed file system that uses caching to increase performance and strong authenication using Kerberos, which makes it suitable for sharing files both on the SLAC site and across the internet to other sites. It is the only filesystem that has strong enough security to be used across the SLAC firewall. SLAC maintains all home directory and most group space in AFS space.
