I just meant that I don't have a AFS user named "Administrator". And
that I have to Leash32 tokens (as a different user) after Windows login.

Ok, that makes sense. (It just doesn't do it non-interactively.)

Local account using password. I have Windows ksetup in a Kerberos5

Enlighteningly explicit. ;)

The whole submounts (which right now is what confuses me) should be a
