Changes in 2.2.2

• NEW: afpd: New option “adminauthuser”. Specifying e.g. “-adminauthuser root” whenever a normal user login fails, afpd tries to authenticate as the specified adminauthuser. If this succeeds, a normal session is created for the original connecting user. Said differently: if you know the password of adminauthuser, you can authenticate as any other user.

• UPD: afpd: Enhance ACL support detection for volumes: enable them per volume if 1) ACL support compiled in, 2) the volume supports ACLs, 3) the new volume option “noacls” is not set for the volume. The previous behaviour was to enable ACL support for a volume if 1) it was compiled in and 2) the volume supported ACLs. There was no way to disable ACLs for a volume.

Changes in 2.0-alpha1

• NEW: afpd: We now support AFP 3.x, which features long filenames and large file support
• NEW: CNID handling completely reworked. We now use per Volume configurable CNID backends.
• NEW: Two new daemons, cnid_metad and cnid_dbd to implement the dbd CNID backend. Using Berkeley DB transactions with the CNID database should be safe now.
• NEW: The on disk format of the CNID database has changed. We now support 8 byte device and inode numbers and an additinal type field that should make detection of file/directory changes outside of afpd more robust. Changed from HASH to BTREE access which speeds things up in certain cases and reduces database file size.
• NEW: Long file name mangling is now implemented using the CNID ID, so no database is required to map names to mangled names. This is the same method Mac OS X uses.
• NEW: New format (version 2) for Metadata in AppleDouble files. We record device and inode of the underlying file as well as the CNID. This can be used for recovery and speeds up access to the CNID.
• NEW: The old NLS codepage system has been removed. It was replaced by an iconv based conversion system, which provides much more flexibility.
• NEW: You can safely use extended characters in volume names and for SIGUSR2 messaging.
• NEW: The default volume encoding is UTF-8.
• NEW: All documentation is now generated using DocBook. New or completely reworked sections about installing, setting up and upgrading Netatalk replace various README files in the doc directory.
• FIX: Protect afpd better against unexpected signals during updates of the CNID database with the cdb backend. This makes database corruption less likely.
• FIX: All manpages have been reviewed and should now be up to date.
• FIX: Tons of bug fixes since 1.6.4. Please consults the CVS change log for details.

• UPD: Use separate macro for AFS configure check.
• UPD: Some Perl scripts are now (partially) auto-generated. This improves out-of-the-box usage of Netatalk.
• UPD: Solaris Kernel Makefile is now auto-generated. This fixes some path issues, but isn’t perfect, yet. Added some Solaris compatibility fixes to the Kernel sources, too.
• UPD: CNID DB code sync’d with the current CVS version. NOTE: Using this code requires you to delete all existing .AppleDB directories in order to avoid database corruption!

• FIX: Hand correct error value back to AFP client when deleting files or directories fails.
• FIX: Leading or trailing spaces are now forbidden on volumes that have the AFPVOL_MSWINDOWS flag set.
• FIX: Minor code cleanups and warning fixes.
• FIX: Make quota support work on FreeBSD.

Changes in 1.5.0

• FIX: Compilation on Tru64 systems was broken, since libtool’s acinclude.m4 file on the packagers system did not contain the necessary patch.
• FIX: On some systems, atalkd refuses to start, since it couldn’t detect any interfaces. This was caused by an overzealous validity check.

Changes in 1.5rc2

• FIX: contrib/shell_utils/lp2pap.sh was erased when “make clean” was called. Now we distribute lp2pap.sh.tmpl instead, and lp2pap.sh is automatically generated during package build.
• FIX: Some platforms (notably Tru64) don’t have the snprintf() call, which was used in etc/afp/afp_config.c. This call was replaced by sprintf() and prior bounds checking.

Changes from the 1.4b1 release:

• Fixed the maximum free/total volume size in afpd.

• Made ~ the default volume in afpd.

• Fixed pid file handling and changed setpgrp() to setpgid() in afpd, papd, and atalkd.

• Added code to afpd to set the Unix file time stamps with utime().

• Fixed a bug in papd’s printcap code which limited it to 15 or so printers.

• Fixed papd’s handling of piped printers.

• Fixed papd’s handling of bad job names.

• Fixed atalkd to send NBP LKUP packets from NBP port.

• Added “sync;sync;sync” to Solaris kinstall to help with streams file corruption.

• Added nlocalrts to streams ddp.conf. Thanks Thomas Tornblom.

• Fixed signed extension infinite loop in Solaris module.

• Moved all the config files to …/config.

Changes from the 1.3.3 release:

• Added code from Sun Microsystems, Inc (OPCOM) for Solaris support. See COPYRIGHT.

• Added support for FreeBSD, mostly changes by Mark Dawson and Julian Elischer.

• All sorts of other stuff.

Changes from the 1.3.1 release:

• Added options to psf’s filter names to support accounting on HPs. !!! NOTE: The location of the filters has changed, see the man page for where.

• Added code from Alan Cox to support Linux.

• Rewrote papd. Now handles dropped connections better. Configuration has been modernized. !!! NOTE: The format of the configuration file has changed, but NOT THE NAME.

• Added Kerberos support to papd.

• atalkd now removes routes on a SIGTERM. Still can’t just restart it, but it’s closer.

• Changed atalkd and the kernel driver to remove a hack added to support sending to 0.255. Now the kernel will allow multiple open sockets with the same port, so long as the addess associated with the port is different. atalkd now opens a socket for each port on each interface.

• atalkd now rewrites its configuration file. If no configuration file is given, one will be generated. Permissions on the new configuration file will be inherited from the old one. If there is no old one, permissions default to 644. Won’t rewrite the file if the owner doesn’t have write permission.

• Removed support for the “AFS Kerberos UAM”, in favor of the “AuthMan UAM”. Kerberos support should now be much more straight-forward.

• Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause incorrect group calculations on ultrix machines.

• Fixed a bug in afpd which causes SimpleText and some other applications to silently fail to write. There’s also a bug in MacOS, but we can’t fix that.

• Fixed a bad interaction with afpd and AFS which would cause file writes to not propogate between AFS clients.

• !!! CHANGED the name(s) of afpd’s config files. The new files are AppleVolumes.system and AppleVolumes.default. If AppleVolumes.system exists, it is always read, AppleVolumes.default is only read if the user has no AppleVolumes file. Included a flag “-u” to indicate which file has precedence. “-u” user wins, otherwise “.system” wins.

• Rewrote the AppleVolumes parsing code. Now works.

• Added a filename extension mapping to afpd. User always takes precedence, regardless of the “-u” flag. Code to change the type of all Unix files contributed by Kee Hinckley.

• afpd now supports both UFS and AFS volumes simultaneously. It also uses access() to attempt to calculate reasonable Mac permissions for AFS directories.

• Changed reporting of file times. Files that are written from Unix now update the Mac’s idea of the files modification time. Unix mtime is now reported instead of ctime.

• Added support for a new UAM to afpd. This requires that client Macs have MacTCP and AuthMan installed. Should make running afpd for AFS easier.

• Removed code so that otherwise valid volumes for which the mounting user has no permission will appear in the volume selection dialog on the Mac gray-ed out.

• Added code from Chris Metcalf of MIT to the AppleDouble library which improves permission inheritance.

• Added code from G. Paul Ziemba of Alantec, Inc to better report errors in psf. Also changed psf to use syslog for errors that users aren’t interested in.

• Added information to psf’s man page to better explain the interaction between psf, pap, and lpd.

• Make psf/pap/psa do accounting when it’s turnes on in /etc/printcap.

• Changed pap’s error message when there is no printer specified on the command line and no .paprc is found. Also heavily modified pap’s man page to reflect changes in the “new” version of pap, including moving it from section 8 to section 1.

• Fixed a byte-order bug in pap’s sequence numbers. Doubt if pap has ever worked right on little endian machines!

• Added a flag to pap to optionally close before receiving EOF from the printer. Off by default. psf calls pap with this option on.

• Added timeouts to the nbp library calls. This means that processes won’t hang when atalkd dies during boot, thus hanging your machine.

Changes from the 1.3 release:

• Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause APPL mappings to contain both mac and unix path names. The fixed code will handle the old (corrupted) database.

• Fixed a very serious bug which would cause files to be corrupted when copying to afpd.

• Fixed a bug in afpd which would cause replies to icon writes to contain the written icon.

• Filled in the function code switch in afpd. Previously, a hacker could probably have used afpd to get unauthorized access to a machine running afpd.

• Fixed a bug in the asp portion of libatalk.a which could cause the malloc()/free() database to be corrupted.

• Fixed a bug in atalkd’s zip query code. With this bug, only the first N % 255 nets get queried. However, since nets bigger than 255 are usually pretty unstable, the unqueried for nets will eventually get done, when N drops by one.

• Suppressed a spurious error (“route: No such process”) in atalkd.

Changes from the 1.2.1 release:

• atalkd is completely rewritten for phase 2 support. atalkd.conf from previous version will not work!

• afpd now has better AFS support. In particular, the configuration for AFS was made much easier; a number of Kerberos-related byte-ordering and time problems were found; clear-text passwords were added (thanks to [email protected]).

• afpd now handles Unix permissions much better (thanks to [email protected]).

• There are many, many more changes, but most are small bug fixes.

Changes from the 1.2 release:

• The Sun support now uses loadable kernel modules (a la VDDRV) instead of binary patches. As such, it should work on any sunos greater than 4.1, and is confirmed to work under 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

• The DEC support no longer requires source. It also runs under ultrix 4.1 and 4.2. It still requires patching your kernel, but the patches are limited to those files available to binary-only sites – primarily hooks for things like netatalk.

• The etc.rc script now uses changes made to nbprgstr (see below).

• aecho now takes machine names on the command line.

• nbplkup now takes a command line argument specifying the number of responses to accept. It also takes its defaults from the NBPLKUP environment variable.

• nbprgstr may be used to register a name at any requested port.

• afpd now logs if an illegal shell is used during login, instead of silently denying service.

• A bug in afpd which caused position information for the directory children of the root of a volume to be ignored has been fixed.

• Several typos in afpd which would cause include files necessary to ultrix to be skipped have been fixed.

• atalkd will no long propagate routes to networks whose zone it doesn’t know.

• atalkd no longer dumps core if it receives a ZIP GetMyZone request from a network whose zone it doesn’t know. (Since this currently can only happen from off net, it’s not precisely a legal request.)

• pap and papd (optionally) no longer check the connection id in PAP DATA responses. Both also maintain the function code in non-first-packet PAP DATA responses. These changes are work-arounds to deal with certain AppleTalk printer cards, notably the BridgePort LocalTalk card for HP LJIIISIs.

• pap no longer sends an EOF response to each PAP SENDDATA request, only the first.

• A bug in papd which would cause it to return a random value when printing the procset to a piped printer has been fixed.

• A bug relating to NBP on reverse-endian machines has been fixed.

• atp_rsel() from libatalk now returns a correct value even if it hasn’t recieved anything yet.

• atalk_addr() from libatalk no longer accepts addresses in octal format, since AppleTalk addresses can have leading zeros. Also it checks that the separator character is a ‘.’.

• Pseudo man pages for nbplkup, nbprgstr, and nbpunrgstr, have been added.

• The example in the psf(8) man page is now correct.

• The man pages for changed commands have been updated.

• The README files for various machine have been updated appropriately.
