How secure is AFS (Andrew File System)?

Dear all,

I am instructed to use a licensed software on network. There are several ways of doing it, one of which includes using AFS, getting modules, etc.

I am not so sure about the security. I would not like the situation where people actually can see my data. Being an apprentice, I need your suggestions and wisdom about using AFS.

Thanks!

Used correctly, AFS can provide good security. As well as UGO file permissions, AFS supports tokens and ACLs.
