None. Maybe Alex is talking about a different problem, because I've
managed to fix the automatic logon problem merely by deleting the
"AppleShare Prep" file and rebooting the machine. This has worked on
machines ranging from LCIIs running system 7.1 to PowerMacs & iMacs running
MacOS 8.6.

I'm sure that there are hidden AppleShare files around, but I've never
needed to mess with them.
