[OpenAFS-devel] Access to AFS by W2K System Before User Login

[Douglas E. Engert]

We need to have a Windows process access AFS even if there is no user
logged in. It appears that this should be possible, as the 
"AFS Client Configuration" -> "Advanced" -> "Global Drives" -> "help" 
says:

  "You can mount drives in the AFS filespace without requiring a 
   user to be logged on.  The drive is mapped when the IBM AFS 
   Client service starts."
  
But the WINNT\afsd\afsd_service.c has the CheckMountDrive() and the call to it 
commented out!  

The comments say the code was moved to Drivemap.cpp but it 
look like it is only used when a user logs in. And it look like the Drivemap.cpp 
code expects the CheckMountDrive() to have mounted the Global Drives. 

Anyone know why?
