Filesystem

- AFS was developed at Carnegie Mellon's Project Andrew, which is a large-scale distributed workstation
experiment similar to Project Athena, the predecessor of today's
Athena. It has since become a commercial package sold by Transarc Corporation.

accounts
- Until the beginning of 1989, Moira was
known as SMS, which stands for Service Management
System. Since so many other things were called SMS,
and since almost everything else at Athena had a greek name, it
was decided that the Service Management System should be
renamed.
