1 desired features (in no particular order):
3 return the right version-specific error codes
4 honor the readonly/deleteinhibit/renameinhibit/copyprotect bits.
5 via a database (that handles ro media, -db <path>):
6 Add afp_fileid capabilities - done
8 afp_enumerate optimization
9 cname expansion to handle 8+3 and 255-unicode.
10 server messages in useful places
11 Other useful bits of AFP 2.0/2.1. are there any?
12 change afp/ddp child handling to be in line w/ generic?
13 administrative control program (using asip API?)
14 appledouble v2 (gets us persistent DIDs). we'll need a did
15 database for non-hfs volumes. i think mmapping a
16 bitmap with dids at the root level should work.
17 also, v2 gets us much better prodos support and
18 provides for shortname support. - done
19 various toggles to afpd.conf (-timeout, etc.)
20 figure out more ways of optimizing things. current places
22 1) reading/writing. currently there's character
23 replacement. we should have a better way of doing
24 it that speeds things up the no-replacement case.
25 i've already done that for the crlf case.
26 2) use of mmap where appropriate. NOTE: this will only
27 be a win if we mmap heavily used files. likely
28 candidates include file-based databases. mmapping
29 header files is actually pretty slow under linux.
30 3) change lookup algorithms where appropriate.
31 ability to interact with hfs desktop databases (either by
32 changing hfs or changing afpd).
33 a way to find out not only who is logged in, but where they're logged
34 in from. utmp/wtmp support would be best
36 papd: implementing uams would be a good idea
40 cleaner separation of layers.
41 fcntl-style byte locks - almost done. it just needs to do a
42 little sorting to get around a race condition.
43 AFP <-> Unix permissions. there are a couple cases where they
44 don't map perfectly. in particular, gid == 0 means
45 ignore group permissions while uid == 0 means anybody
46 can fiddle with this file. in addition, we need to be
47 able to still change permissions on a directory with u-a
48 set. finally, we need to adjust the offspring count
49 for directories based upon what permissions they
50 have. i.e., search -> can see directories.
51 read -> can see files.
52 we need to map permissions so that these semantics get
54 real variable DIDs for now: it turns out that afpd lies about
55 this and says that it's doing fixed dids. bad bad
56 bad. i just have to implement Open/CloseDir and fiddle
57 a little with did assignment. argh. apple's appleshare
58 client doesn't like non-fixed directory ids.
59 support picking up items from dropboxes without linux-side superuser
61 support for system-wide messages; send the main afpd process SIGUSR2
62 and each of the children should send out the same message.
63 replacement of a linefeed with the appropriate Macintosh character in
64 server messaging (currently replaces with a space)
68 sped up of_findname and of_dealloc.
69 increased AFP compliance w.r.t. open forks and renames:
70 wordperfect and simpletext now both work!
72 solaris beta STREAMS driver added.
74 cleaner startup/takedown
75 added debug messages to dsi_write areas.
76 fixed server info unexpected disconnects (due to OT bug).
77 afp/ddp and afp/tcp cohabitation. afp/ddp and afp/tcp can
78 operate separately now (-T turns off tcp, -D turns off ddp).
79 incorporated the netbsd patches
80 [source: wrstuden@loki.stanford.edu (Bill Studenmund)]
81 added/fixed quota support for linux/bsd4.4
82 codepage support/casefolding on a per volume basis.
83 expanded per-volume options
84 added "generic" platform support for AFP/tcp.
85 dynamically loaded uams
86 :ETCDIR:/afppasswd file for randnum passwds
87 can turn off .AppleDouble generation.
88 AppleVolumes variable substitions
89 atalkd: zones on single interfaces and the ability to control
90 which interfaces get routes between them.
