In particular, a new interface to manage the Advanced Firewall is required http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff956124%28v=VS.85%29.aspx afsicf.cpp above is designed so that it can be tested as a standalone application as well as integrated into afsd_service and the afs server processes. I suggest that anyone volunteering to work on this functionality create an afsicf2.cpp and do the same with the new interface. I've created RT130219 to track this request. Jeffrey Altman
