Well, I'm interested in the opposite. Is there a way to handle AFS under
Windows without the GUI? Or any other way to simplify the usage.

I haven't really used the Win-client, but I remember that you have to
provide complete AFS-paths which would be mapped to drives.

Imagine 1500 users where every path is of the form /afs/cell/home/$user.
I want windows to use this as the home-directory/drive. 

Under CIFS (SMB/Samba), netlogon does the stuff and even NFS-Clients could
do so. Is there a more generic way than providing the individual path
inside a profile-stored config-File for the AFS-Client?

I've never seen such a GUI and I don't want one :) I feel glad with the
structure in /afs/...., the rest with fs,vos and so on are not the problem.

I could imagine a KDE-plugin for konqueror to set AFS-ACLs, but this would
mean konqueror has to detect that the directory is inside an AFS-tree.

This could be pretty pain due to symlinks, bind-mounts and so on.
At the moment, kdiskfree (kdf) crashes :)
