Hi All,

Here's a patch against the current OpenAFS CVS HEAD that fixes a number of
bugs on the Windows side of things

To apply:

patch -p0 < openafs-1.2.11-bkbox.patch

Summary of changes:

1. This actually compiles.  I had to change some includes and libraries

2. Excel (and some other apps) do not like OpenAFS drives.

Some programs (like Excel) try to enumerate netbios directories.  At the
root, they try to connect to a drive's IPC$ share.  The current OpenAFS
Netbios code returns "Not Implemented" to the IPC$ request.  That reply
confuses some applications.  I've changed the reply to "Access Denied" and
their problems go away.  This fixes my earlier problems that I tried to
resolve with "lmhosts".

3. Integrated Login fails

The NSIS install does not put afslogin.dll in the  registry, so it is no
longer run at boot time.  Good riddance!

(see
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Netwo
rkProvider\AuthentProviderPath)

3. Restoring network drives in afscreds.

afscreds does not always restore network drives.  You'll notice that after
setup runs the first time, you may have to explicitly check the network
drive box.  Now afscreds always tries to restore network drives.  To
reproduce the problem:

1. uncheck network drives in afscreds
2. stop afscreds
3. disconnect network drives in explorer
4. start afscreds

before the patch, the drives would not get reconnected.
