[OpenAFS] Can't Map AFS drive

Jeffrey-

We're back at this trying to figure out how to=20
get OpenAFS to run in our environment.  We=20
thought it was some 3rd party application that=20
was causing a conflict, but now I'm not sure that's the case.

Currently, I'm testing this with a base install=20
XP Pro SP2 with MIT KfW and OpenAFS 1.3.8600=20
installed.  I've also tried 1.3.85, 1.3.84, and=20
1.3.73 and get the same problem.  I've also tried=20
installing OpenAFS with "Integrated Login"=20
checked and unchecked and using and not using KfW=20
with the various versions.  In the past, I=20
noticed that if KfW got the AFS tokens then=20
OpenAFS wouldn't work correctly, so normally I=20
don't have KfW get AFS tokens.  I've tried it=20
both ways with multiple versions and nothing's working.

The current symptom that we're seeing is when we=20
try to map a drive using the afscreds systray app=20
to a afs cell path (i.e.=20
/afs/cats/users/q/ictest) the machine hangs every=20
time.  Trying to map using "net use x:=20
\\afs\cats\users\q\ictest" or by using a submount=20
(which I know you don't like) it does the=20
same.  I can mount a drive to /afs, but only our=20
cell (cats.ucsc.edu) shows up and when I try to=20
open that directory, the machine hangs.

This has been a problem for us ever since SP2 with any OpenAFS client.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
