With appleshare, you can check a box in the Chooser next to an appleshare volume that you want automatically loaded at system startup. When I try to do this with the CAP AUFS server, the appleshare client code allows me to set the volume to be loaded at startup, but when I restart, I get the message that the server is no longer reachable or some such nonsense. The server is reachable and after selecting cancel, I can mount the volume just fine in the normal "chooser" fashion. Anyone else try this with CAP? Is this on a CAP todo list to be implemented in the future?

Either the client is not designed to or does not correctly implement "volume startup" with plain text (clear text) passwords. Setting a volume to be startup on a server with only plaintext passwords under the AppleShare client version 1.0 seems to really confuse it. The AppleShare 1.1 client seems to handle it better. If you really need this facility, consider using the "lookaside" password file facility (as hokey as it is, it does work). This was one of the primary reasons it was added. Charlie C.
