openAFS or arla support?

[<dick_(_at_)_uchicago_(_dot_)_edu>]

heya,

i'm interested in getting an AFS server setup, but openAFS
1.3.87 will not compile from source on 3.8-current (same as
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=112867186930581&w=2).
i also noticed that ober had posted a "howto" for getting
openAFS working on openbsd 3.7 (see 
http://www.linbsd.org/afs_on_openbsd_client.html), but this
doesn't work when compiling from source since it requires the
--with-afs-sysname to be set to i386_obsd3X where X only goes
up to 6. when i set it to i386_obsd36, i get an error when i
make and i get an error when i configure if i don't set
--with-afs-sysname. i can post the configure/build errors if
anyone thinks i should, and they are easily reproducible.

i've also looked at arla and found it worrisome when reading
the notes on installation from source for version 0.40.0 and
seeing the following:

(from section on "quirks" of running arla)
"{Net|Open}BSD:
  
  You can not load kernel modules (the modload step) when your
  securelevel is above zero. There are two ways to make sure
that you
  can load kernel modules:
     
  * You can compile a new kernel with "option INSECURE". This
will make
    the securelevel be zero in multiuser. Then you can load
the modules  
    with the above commands. Some people might consider this a
security
    risk.
  
  * You can load the modules in /etc/lkm.conf (for NetBSD) or
    /etc/rc.securelevel (for OpenBSD)."

recompiling my kernel so that it can run in securelevel 0
doesn't seem like a good thing to do.

i noticed that the release notes for 3.8 state that Arla
0.35.7 is part of the base system. i assume this is only the
AFS client, afsd, and not the server daemons since i can't
find anything useful besides the afsd manual page. 

could someone point me clue me in as to how i can get an AFS
server up and running on 3.8-current? i hope this is doable,
although the archive post i referenced above leads me to
believe otherwise.

cheers,
jake
