[OpenAFS] RE: Problems under WinNT 4.0sp6

[Cameron, Frank]

We had problems using the Symantec dektop firewall with AFS (and several
other things, too).  Originally, the firewall was blocking AFS attempts and
manually modifying the rulesets allowed AFS to work; until we live updated.
The live update added some hidden rules that blocked AFS and could not (as
far as we could find) be over-ridden.
