Milko isn't working yet. I wouldn't trust *any* data to it yet.
If it seams to work its just a illusion.

Its just put in the sourcetree so: I can hack on it more easy and share
code with arla. You can see there is any progress. If someone wants to hack
there is a base for it.

There are being work done on the afs servers, that is one of the reason you
don't want to run it. Next version will NOT be backward compatible.

Milko is currently having its internals redesigned to avoid stat:ing files
more then one time. This code isn't check in to the cvs repostitory yet.

Short version: DONT USE IT.

I'm just trying to save you from lossing you datan.

When milko is stable, it will be announced to then mailinglist.

Yes its free. You need a kerberos4 implementation too. Use the one from
ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb

There is a README in  $srcdir/milko/.
