We are having a problem with AfterDark working properly with System 7
file sharing, both on server and clients. In both cases the symptoms
include Afterdark shutting down (uninstalling itself) when it goes
to blank the screen and file services are busy.  On clients this is
annoying, but by setting system IQ the problem can be avoided for the
most part.  On the "server" the problem is more difficult since we
don't want system IQ on because we want AfterDark blanking and password
protecting the machine even though sharing is busy.  Also, the symptoms
on the server are more severe, including loss of ability to mount floppy
disks and munging of the cursor and the windowing/graphports in finder
going hayware on occasion, IF AfterDark quits.  Very unsettling.

We are using System 7.0.1 with Tuneup 1.1.1 on IIci and AfterDark 2.0v.
Not much else except MacTCP.  Connections are over Ethertalk.  We have
no other problems with AppleTalk or TCP services.  Is this a known bug
with AfterDark?  Work around?  Another product to replace it?  Mostly,
we want the password protection.  Will using AppleShare 3.0 on the server
improve or degrade the situation?
