[OpenAFS] 1.2.9a -- fix for mounting of global drives at windows login -- missing registry keys

[Stephen Joyce]

Joe,

Thanks.  I discovered this problem 6-8 mos ago.  I'll have to try your fix
to see if it works for me.

FWIW, the work around I'm using right now is a startup script that edits
afsdsbmt.ini and performs the corresponding "net use" commands.  A bit
kludgey, but seems to work OK.

Cheers,
Stephen

You don't need to be faster than the bear which is chasing
you. You merely need to be faster -- or less tasty -- than
the others running with you.
