[OpenAFS-announce] OpenAFS 1.2.2b release available for Windows

[Derrick J Brashear]

OpenAFS 1.2.2b is now available for download from the openafs.org web site
and in the openafs.org AFS cell.

The only changes above 1.2.2a are specific to both Windows ports. 
They are as follows:

1. The default Open AFS is set to normal security (doesn't generate random
user names). If you are installing over a previous version (before 1.2.2b) 
its default is high security; therefore, if you want the normal security, 
you should uninstall the previous version (1.2.2a or earlier) and select  
'Not Preserve previous settings'.

To manually change security you need to set the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemond\NetworkProvider
     LogonOptions = 1 - Integrated Logon
     LogonOptions = 2 - High Security options, Random User name generation
     LogonOptions = 3 - both

2. Windows 2000/NT, Win9x - First time installations will create necessary
directories when user decides to download CellServDB

3. Windows 2000/NT, Global Drive working.

4. Windows XP - Drive mapping via GUI working.

5. Rename pthread.dll to afspthread.dll.

As always, the latest release can be found at
