NIM overview questions

[Kevin Koch]

Thanks for the references.  Unfortunately, they don't help with the
credential update problems or with the conceptually simpler problem of the
screen position not being remembered before F7 F7.

Please remember that I'm trying to solve these problems this week.  If you
could explain the threads and timers involved in the simpler problem, it
would save me a lot of time.  

Thanks.

Did you read the topics under Related Pages? 

In addition to the documentation shipped with the SDK, there is an
example credential provider, and there are the talks that have been
given at the AFS & Kerberos Best Practice Workshops in 2005 and 2006
that describes the bird's eye view.

Threads/fibers and queues belong to each of the modules.  Each module is
a plug-in and is designed to be isolated from the others except when
providers create an explicit dependency upon another provider.  There
isn't an overview detailing all of the threads and queues because that
is dependent upon what modules are loaded.
