mechanism in the afsd_init.c to ensure that all of the threads

can be executed prior to the completion of the SMB registration
and service thread initialization.

+ applications such as Word often crash upon saving the files.

-List sent to SLAC:
+List of unfunded projects:
1. No longer use AFS Client Service "cell" as the default cell for individual users
2. Re-write afsd_service.exe to perform synchronized thread startup and shutdown.
Currently there is no synchronization of thread creation which results in timing
conflicts; and there is no attempt to cleanly shutdown the service which causes
problems when restarting and prevents the implementation of a persistent cache
- 3. Implement a persistent cache
- 4. Prevent panic situation when the root.afs volume is not reachable
+ 3. Implement a persistent cache (requires item 2)
+ 4. Prevent panic situation when the root.afs volume is not reachable and
+ the AFS Client Server is not using Freelance mode
5. Prevent panic situation when the IP address to which the SMB server is bound is removed
from the local machine's network configuration
6. Identify and fix the problems with running the RX library on Hyperthreaded systems
15. Large File support (> 2GB)
16. Integrate KFW installation into the NSIS installer
17. Add support for record locking to AFS (requires changes to the servers)
-

+ 2. force the use of paths no longer than 256 characters
+ 3. force share names to be no longer than 13 characters
+ 4. restrict authentication to ASCII only names and passwords
+ 19. Complete implementation of CIFS Remote Administration Protocol
+ 20. Correct the problems with overlapped writes which adversely affect
+ Microsoft Office applications storing documents and temporary files
+ within AFS volumes
+ 21. Add support for SMB/CIFS Digital Signatures
+ 22. Development of afsmap.exe tool to provide AFS aware NET USE functionality
+ afsmap.exe <drive> <afs-path> [/PERSISTENT]
+ afsmap.exe <drive> <unc-path> [/PERSISTENT]
+ afsmap.exe <drive> /DELETE
