49 * FIX: CNID, folders' DID handling with concurrent access or symlinks.
50 (Fixes an endless loop in afpd.)
55 * FIX: pap looks at the STDOUT file descriptor to see if it's connected to

73 * NEW: Improved log file support.
74 * NEW: Server-side find capability ("FPCatSearch")
75 * NEW: Concurrent datastore (CDB) is now the default CNID datastore. This

107 * UPD: Tru64 afpd authentication updates.
108 * UPD: As always: lots of minor code cleanups.
109 * FIX: Problems with Photoshop trying to open image files has been

113 * FIX: afp_deleteid() now deletes the specified file and not the parent
115 * FIX: papd does now announce that it supports binary data to its clients.
116 * FIX: NetBSD ELF support.
117 * FIX: acleandir.rc is now installed in the bin directory.
118 * FIX: megatron does now compile even if compiled with -DDEBUG.
119 * FIX: Clean up some syslog messages.
124 * NEW: NetBSD support contributed by David Rankin and NetBSD contributors.
125 This includes a new configure option --enable-netbsd.
126 * NEW: Add the -client_polling afpd.conf flag to allow for clients to poll
127 the server every 10 seconds for open window updates. Currently
128 this is the only way to get asynchronous directory updates.
129 * UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
130 * UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves
131 out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
132 * UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path
133 issues, but isn't perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility
134 fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
135 * UPD: CNID DB code sync'd with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this
136 code requires you to delete _all_ existing .AppleDB directories in
137 order to avoid database corruption!
138 * FIX: The file AppleVolumes.system contained wrong line breaks so that
139 not all file types were properly recognized.
140 * FIX: AFS compilation would fail due to a misnamed variable.
141 * FIX: SLP configure check was wrong so SLP did not compile.
142 * FIX: Fix the way quotas are handled under certain situations.
143 * FIX: Do not enable debugging code if debugging option is not set.
144 * FIX: Some problems with wrongly assigned DIDs were fixed.
145 * FIX: Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
150 * NEW: Added a program called cnid_didname_verify that can be used to
151 verify the consistency of the CNID database.
152 * NEW: New afpd option: -timeout. Warning: This still doesn't do what it's
154 * UPD: Code cleanups and compatibility fixes to macusers.
155 * UPD: AppleVolumes.system was cleaned up.
156 * FIX: Really fix Tru64 compilation (see last entry).
157 * FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or
159 * FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have
160 the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
161 * FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
162 * FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.
167 * FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool's acinclude.m4
168 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
169 * FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn't detect
170 any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.
175 * FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when "make clean" was called.
176 Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically
177 generated during package build.
178 * FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don't have the snprintf() call, which
179 was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf()
180 and prior bounds checking.
182 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
184 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
186 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
188 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
191 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
193 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
196 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
198 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
200 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
202 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
205 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
207 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
209 Moved all the config files to .../config.
211 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
213 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
216 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
219 All sorts of other stuff.
221 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
223 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
224 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
227 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
229 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
230 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
231 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
233 Added Kerberos support to papd.
235 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
238 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
239 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
240 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
241 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
244 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
245 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
246 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
247 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
248 the owner doesn't have write permission.
250 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
251 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
254 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
257 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
258 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
259 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
261 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
262 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
264 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
265 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
266 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
267 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
268 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
271 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
273 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
274 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
275 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
277 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
278 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
281 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
282 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
283 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
285 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
286 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
289 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
290 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
291 on the Mac gray-ed out.
293 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
294 which improves permission inheritance.
296 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
297 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
298 users aren't interested in.
300 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
301 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
303 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
306 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
307 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
308 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
309 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
311 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
312 ever worked right on little endian machines!
314 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
315 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
317 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
318 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
321 Changes from the 1.3 release:
323 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
324 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
325 (corrupted) database.
327 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
328 when copying to afpd.
330 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
331 contain the written icon.
333 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
334 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
335 machine running afpd.
337 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
338 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
340 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
341 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
342 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
343 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
345 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
347 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
349 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
350 from previous version will not work!
352 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
353 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
354 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
355 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
357 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
360 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
362 Changes from the 1.2 release:
364 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
365 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
366 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
368 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
369 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
370 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
371 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
373 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
375 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
377 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
378 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
379 environment variable.
381 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
383 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
384 silently denying service.
386 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
387 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
389 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
390 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
392 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
395 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
396 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
397 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
399 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
400 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
401 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
402 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
403 card for HP LJIIISIs.
405 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
408 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
409 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
411 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
413 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
414 hasn't recieved anything yet.
416 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
417 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
418 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
420 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
423 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
425 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
427 The README files for various machine have been updated
