I got them at a developer briefing Apple Nordic held a couple of weeks ago. Someone (I'm afraid I don't remember his name) from The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) was talking about how they got Macs to work with the rest of their network.

This might be of interest to you too, an AFS implementation that works on Mac OS X:
