We have been used OpenAFS 1.3.77 on Windows Terminal Server 2003, and 
it's working stable, when there works only one. But when many (~20) 
students with homes on AFS are trying use this server, then sometimes 
(randomly) access to AFS stops (early versions with hung on each access 
to files, now with access denied).

I'm interested in debug this, but I'm limited in time. I can send (post) 
debug output from afsd*.log, but it is not easy reproduce.

Currently we are using samba (3.0) server (only for this server) with 
some tweaks on my FreeBSD workstation as gateway throw arla client and 
it's working more stable.

P.S. Sorry for not be able support the efforts to improve code, but I 
have too much work.
