On a side note I will mention that the WinAFS client does not work with most encryption file system filter driver products because of the manner in which AFS Path IOCtls are implemented. The filter driver wants to encrypt / decrypt all file streams and the pioctl data is viewed as a file stream. When the cache manager receives the encrypted pioctl data it rejects it. The error response fails to decrypt and the application is left seriously confused. WinAFS has been tested against a broad range of encryption file system products at interop events. I have yet to find one implemented as a file system filter driver that is compatible. Jeffrey Altman
