This problem has been mentioned in openafs-info and forus.software.afs: After initial install of AFS on Windows, the following error message appears: The AFS Client Service could not be started successfully. You might not have authorization to perform this operation. Error 0x0000042A.
I opened PMR 07547 Branch 469 against this issue; below is the Analysis from IBM/Transarc. There are (IBM AFS) binaries available with the fix at ftp://ftp.transarc.ibm.com/pub/afsps/ftp/kubis/i386_nt40_30992.zip ANALYSIS DONE : Through the debugger, Development searched out the reason for the failure. The failure point was in a assert statement in which pthread_once function was being asserted. The system was loading a wrong copy of pthread.dll from c:\winnt\system32 rather than the one that comes with AFS. This problem is similar to another PMR that had been reported prior from another customer for which a fix has already been made. We renamed the pthread.dll to afspthread.dll to avoid this problem. Hopefully this is enough information for the problem to be fixed in OpenAFS as well. -- Daniel Clark - Sys Admin & Assistant Release Engineer IBM > Lotus > Messaging Technology Group (MTG) _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
