1 Changes from the 1.4b1 release:
3 Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.
5 Made ~ the default volume in afpd.
7 Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd,
10 Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().
12 Fixed a bug in papd's printcap code which limited it to 15 or so
15 Fixed papd's handling of piped printers.
17 Fixed papd's handling of bad job names.
19 Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.
21 Added "sync;sync;sync" to Solaris kinstall to help with streams
24 Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.
26 Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.
28 Moved all the config files to .../config.
30 Changes from the 1.3.3 release:
32 Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support.
35 Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian
38 All sorts of other stuff.
40 Changes from the 1.3.1 release:
42 Added options to psf's filter names to support accounting on HPs.
43 !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man
46 Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.
48 Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better.
49 Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the
50 configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.
52 Added Kerberos support to papd.
54 atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can't just restart
57 Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to
58 support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open
59 sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with
60 the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on
63 atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration
64 file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new
65 configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is
66 no old one, permissions default to 644. Won't rewrite the file if
67 the owner doesn't have write permission.
69 Removed support for the "AFS Kerberos UAM", in favor of the
70 "AuthMan UAM". Kerberos support should now be much more
73 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations
76 Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other
77 applications to silently fail to write. There's also a bug in
78 MacOS, but we can't fix that.
80 Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file
81 writes to not propogate between AFS clients.
83 !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd's config files. The new files are
84 AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system
85 exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the
86 user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag "-u" to indicate
87 which file has precedence. "-u" user wins, otherwise ".system"
90 Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.
92 Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes
93 precedence, regardless of the "-u" flag. Code to change the type
94 of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley <nazgul@utopia.com>.
96 afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also
97 uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions
100 Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix
101 now update the Mac's idea of the files modification time. Unix
102 mtime is now reported instead of ctime.
104 Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client
105 Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd
108 Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting
109 user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog
110 on the Mac gray-ed out.
112 Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library
113 which improves permission inheritance.
115 Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report
116 errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that
117 users aren't interested in.
119 Added information to psf's man page to better explain the
120 interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.
122 Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it's turnes on in
125 Changed pap's error message when there is no printer specified on
126 the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified
127 pap's man page to reflect changes in the "new" version of pap,
128 including moving it from section 8 to section 1.
130 Fixed a byte-order bug in pap's sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has
131 ever worked right on little endian machines!
133 Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from
134 the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.
136 Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes
137 won't hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your
140 Changes from the 1.3 release:
142 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both
143 mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old
144 (corrupted) database.
146 Fixed a *very* serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted
147 when copying to afpd.
149 Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to
150 contain the written icon.
152 Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker
153 could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a
154 machine running afpd.
156 Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the
157 malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.
159 Fixed a bug in atalkd's zip query code. With this bug, only the
160 first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than
161 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will
162 eventually get done, when N drops by one.
164 Suppressed a spurious error ("route: No such process") in atalkd.
166 Changes from the 1.2.1 release:
168 atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf
169 from previous version will not work!
171 afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration
172 for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related
173 byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords
174 were added (thanks to geeb@umich.edu).
176 afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to
179 There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.
181 Changes from the 1.2 release:
183 The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV)
184 instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos
185 greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
187 The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under
188 ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the
189 patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites
190 -- primarily hooks for things like netatalk.
192 The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).
194 aecho now takes machine names on the command line.
196 nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of
197 responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP
198 environment variable.
200 nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.
202 afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of
203 silently denying service.
205 A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory
206 children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.
208 Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to
209 ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.
211 atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone
214 atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request
215 from a network whose zone it doesn't know. (Since this currently
216 can only happen from off net, it's not precisely a legal request.)
218 pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP
219 DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet
220 PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with
221 certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk
222 card for HP LJIIISIs.
224 pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request,
227 A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when
228 printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.
230 A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.
232 atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it
233 hasn't recieved anything yet.
235 atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal
236 format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it
237 checks that the separator character is a '.'.
239 Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been
242 The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.
244 The man pages for changed commands have been updated.
246 The README files for various machine have been updated
