[OpenAFS-devel] Windows Loopback Adapter

[Scott D. Williams]

Hello,
This morning I followed the procedure outlined in this posting from last 
year on a single WinXP system:

https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2001-October/001955.html

I used a locally-compiled OpenAFS1.2.6 installer/binary; the system is 
up-to-date wrt security patches, etc.

It went quite well. Indeed the client is functioning and is now 'invisible' 
when queried from 'nbtstat' or similar. The one thing that didn't go as 
well was the automatic start of the service (with or without integrated 
login).  Since manual start of the service 'seemed' flawless, I started 
experimenting with the service dependencies list for the afsd service 
(TransarcAFSDaemon). This is the list I appended to 
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\DependOnService:

LanmanWorkstation  (actually, this is standard at UNC)
Dhcp
Dnscache
ShellHWDetection
Netman

This may be overkill, but it did the trick. Again, this has only been 
tested on a single XP machine.
