[OpenAFS] OpenAFS + Linux +XP

1. It's the only blue screen in 4 years on a 2K server. But perhaps =
you're
right.
2. Your technical paper is excellent. Which brings up the next point:
3. The official documentation needs some serious upgrading.

Well I know this isn't right.  We've got well over 500 XP-SP1 machines =
of=20
all various flavors of processor and ram/disk sizes from Dell and=20
Gateway.  I've never once got a blue screen because of integrated=20
logon.  We've been running both Transarc (years) and OpenAFS (during the =

last year) without integrated logon problems.  You must be having other=20
problems with your systems.

The best way to handle multiple accounts on XP workstations is to go =
ahead=20
and do things right the first time by creating a proper MS AD domain.  =
You=20
will save yourself lots of grief this way.  Then, just create a script =
on=20
the AD server that syncronizes AD accounts with your unix password=20
file.  Note that our AD accounts have random passwords that the user's=20
don't know.  The AD is setup to trust the MIT K5 kdc credentials using=20
cross realm authentication.
