Re[2]: [OpenAFS-win32-devel] No more feature changes expected before

[Ron Croonenberg]

I downloaded the new release.

1:  after the install my netware client didn't want to work anymore.
2:  can't login to AFS because of an "error 62" incorrect password
    (get that msg on any server)
3:  without having any tokens I am able to access a volume

I don't know..  how valuable this input/info is, since I seem to have a hard
time getting anything windows-AFS to work.
