Hi,

I try to install the afs-client to distribute on my terminalservers. On =
the terminalserver there are different users, which want to create =
drives to there homedirectory. The client generates for everyuser an =
submount. The first user who creates "home" as a submount wins, all =
other users get error messages and have to use different submounts. Also =
you can see all this submounts under \\afs\... Is it possible to disable =
the creation of submounts?=20

We discovered a problem with USB-sticks and windows. A user maps an =
afs-drive to the first available drive-letter. If he now puts an =
usb-stick in the computer, windows maps the USB-stick to the same =
drive-letter and he can not access the USB-stick. The user have to =
change manually the driveletter of the USB-stick or change the =
afs-drive-letter.=20

Greetings
Thomas
