UNCONFIRMED errors and comments:


{16}  Table 2-2;
Two values needed to support autologon are misidentified:

"DefaultUser" should be "DefaultUserName", and
"DefaultDomain" should be "DefaultDomainName".

Also, "LegalNoticeCaption" and "LegalNoticeText" do not need to be deleted 
for autologon to work, as indicated by the text.  They can in fact be "simply 
set to null" ("").


[24] In the code at the bottom of the page, the value that is set in the 
registry key 
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{$sname}\Parameters\Application 
should be 'C:\perl\bin\perl.exe' or what every the fully qualified path 
to the Perl executable is.

In the example script, the 'RegSetValueEx' function sets the value of the 
'Application' key to the $srvany variable (which is the path to the 
srvany.exe program). This contradicts the explanation given on page 22 #3.

The solution is to add another variable that is set to the Perl path:
  $perlpath = 'C:\perl\bin\perl.exe'

and then set this as the 'Application' key value:
  Win32::Reistry::RegSetValueEx
    ($NewHandle, 'Application', NULL, &REG_SZ, $perlpath)


{89}  code snipet after 5th paragraph;
The third component of the $output variable is shown as: 

	"@bits[2]"

Should be:

	 "$bits[2]"


{91}  1st paragraph;
The text talks about MAC addresses as a "32-bit word".
MAC addresses are actually 48-bits.
