help removing cap password prompt

Hello:

I've been using CAP60 successfully with a Sun for awhile now, but there
is one small problem that I'm hoping someone more familiar with CAP
internals then I am will be able to solve:

How can I eliminate the password prompt when opening a unix connection?

I have a small network and have to give my Mac unix account a password
because of CAP even tho I wouldn't have done this otherwise.

Much thanks,

Elmer Beachley etb@cs.pitt.edu ebe+@cis.pitt.edu

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but others may find it useful, 
and it might give you somewhere to start.  I wanted all my users to have
the same CAP password, since our AppleShare network is secure, and I wanted
to auto mount their AppleShare volume, and have it stay mounted even if
they changed their unix password, so I did the following in afpos.c:

cap/applications/aufs/afpos.c:
#ifdef ULTRIX_SECURITY
      /* avoid evaluation order problem */
      crypted_password = ultrix_crypt(pwd, p);
      if (strcmp(crypted_password, p->pw_passwd) != 0) {
#else  ULTRIX_SECURITY
#ifdef NCRPDA
      if (p->pw_gid == 100) { /* Use standard password for group user */
        crypted_password = "abcdefghijklm";
      } else {
        crypted_password = p->pw_passwd;
      }
      if (strcmp(crypt(pwd,crypted_password),crypted_password) != 0) {
#else  NCRPDA
      if (strcmp(crypt(pwd,p->pw_passwd),p->pw_passwd) != 0) {
#endif NCRPDA
#endif ULTRIX_SECURITY

So all users with gid 100 get the standard password.  I can use
AppleShare's "Save name & password" option to have the user's directory
auto mounted on boot, and they don't have to worry about using the Chooser
to log in.

Full diffs follow (which also includes an option to force the username to
lowercase so it behaves the same as AppleShare volumes),
   Peter.
