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