FTP won't suffice, and SAMBA is for SMB (Ick! Windows!) only.  I want to
be able to mount the UNIX filesystems on a variety of 9.1-running macs.
(OS X is easy)  I have two choices:

1) Install an NFS client on the mac.  No really good free ones.  Pay one
are expensive.

2) Put an AFS-compatable server package on the Solaris server.  Current
choices include CAP and Netatalk.  Both work, but are a bitch to install,
hence my query to see if anybody has had good luck implementing any of
them.
