Why does STAFs user registration fail each time STAFProc is started?

During the STAF installation, if you selected to register STAF, everytime STAF starts it will attempt to register the user information with a machine that is internal to IBM. Once this registration is successful, STAF will no longer try to register. However, the registration will fail for all non-IBM users, and will attempt to register (and fail) each time STAF is started. You can either choose to let it fail forever, or delete the STAFReg.inf file (in the root STAF directory) and STAF will stop trying to register.
