2 * When the cache manager reports ALLBUSY or ALLOFFLINE for
3 a resource we should not be returning status codes such
4 as Network Busy or Remote Host Down because these errors
5 will imply that the AFS Client Service is Busy or Down
6 and that is simply not the case. Instead we will return
7 Bad Network Path as the path is temporarily not available.
9 Instead of returning Sharing Paused when there is a
10 timeout error, return Timeout. Once again, the AFS Client
11 Service is not paused.
13 * afscreds.exe would display an Obtain Creds dialog when
14 the expired credentials reminder was triggered even
15 if there was no network path to the KDC. This is prevented
16 by adding KDC probe logic to the reminder thread.
18 * afscreds.exe would display expired tokens no differently
19 than unexpired ones. This would make it difficult for the
20 user to distiguish when the tokens were expired. For the
21 English build added a new resource string "(expired) that
22 is displayed instead of the expiration time.
25 * "fs wscell" when executed in freelance mode will return the
26 name of the cell configured in the registry. The root.afs
27 volume is not loaded from this cell, but it is used for the
28 default for aklog and integrated login.
30 * "fs mkmount, fs rmmount, symlink make, symlink remove" will
31 no longer work on \\AFS\all when freelance is being used
32 unless the user is a member of the "AFS Client Admins" Windows
35 * some more checks performed during persistent cache validation.
38 * Optimize calls to cm_CheckServer from cm_Analyze. Only check
39 down servers for the current cell not all cells.
41 * If the scache LRU list becomes corrupted, the AFS Client Service
42 might enter an infinite loop at startup. Detect the corruption
43 and discard the cache contents in this case.
45 * Fixed the Explorer Shell's remove mountpoint functionality.
47 * Fixed a deadlock caused by the holder of cm_aclLock attempting to
48 obtain a mutex lock on a cm_scache_t object whose lock is held by
49 a thread attempting to obtain the cm_aclLock.
52 * Really fixed DNS AFSDB queries to ensure that "csail" cannot be
53 misinterpretted as "csail.mit.edu" when the resolver
54 is configured to append ".mit.edu" to failed DNS queries.
56 * Added a new registry key, "LogoffPreserveTokens" (see registry.txt),
57 that can be used to force the preservation of user tokens upon logout.
59 * Update the NSIS install scripts to use NSIS 2.07. This release adds
60 recommended installation categories: AFS Client, AFS Administrator,
61 AFS Server, AFS Development Kit. Each category includes a different
62 default subset of the OpenAFS components.
64 The OpenAFS logo is now associated with the NSIS uninstall entry
65 in the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
67 * The user name associated with AFS tokens when obtained with
68 integrated login, the afs systray tool, or aklog will always
69 include the full Kerberos 5 user principal name regardless of
70 whether or not the cell is local to the realm.
72 * Eric William's IFS redirector has been checked onto the CVS head.
73 This code is experimental at the current time and is not being
74 incorporated into the 1-4 branch releases. Instructions for
75 building from sources are found in the top-level README-NT file.
77 * Modify integrated login so that it does not enter an infinite
78 loop if the service is not set to auto start.
80 * Added asetkey.exe used to set a Kerberos 5 key for use by the
83 * Added uninstall.exe to Wix installation
85 * More modifications to algorithms used to wake sleeping threads.
89 * Changes to the algorithms used to wake threads when they are
90 put to sleep because of conflicts over buffer operations.
93 * The OpenAFS integrated logon obtains Kerberos 5 tickets as part of
94 the process of producing AFS tokens. The tokens are stored within
95 the AFS Client Service but the Kerberos 5 tickets have been discarded.
96 New functionality has been added to temporarily copy the tickets to
97 a file ccache during the short window between the NPLogonNotify and
98 WinLogon Logon Event. The Logon Event handler starts a process as
99 user, afscpcc.exe, that copies the tickets into the default ccache.
100 The file ccache is then destroyed by the event handler.
102 * During synchronization operations on stat cache entries, if threads
103 are forced to sleep it was possible that the threads would not be
104 woken under heavy load.
106 * Enforce the delete on close flag specified by the NTCreateX()
109 * A race condition in the rx library was fixed that resulted in
110 a deadlock in rx_NewCall when the RX_CONN_MAKECALL_WAITING flag
111 was cleared when threads were still waiting to use the
112 connection. Also, fixed a potential case in which the
113 connection could be destroyed while threads were waiting to use it.
115 * The DNLC freelist has been seen to become corrupted with still
116 active entries being stored on the freelist. Changes were made
117 to perform a better job of cleaning entries before placing them
118 onto the freelist; marking them with the correct magic value when
119 purging the list; and allowing the list to be purged on startup
120 if the cache validation fails.
122 * Windows Crash Reporting does not get triggered for afsd_service.exe
123 because it provides its own top level exception handler. This patch
124 places an explicit call to ReportCrash() on platforms which support
127 If you configure Crash Reporting via AD Policy to capture crash
128 reports within the domain, then you will receive this output.
130 * Generate MiniDumps independent of the Windows Crash Reporting.
132 (a) If an exception occurs,a minidump will be generated at the path
133 %TEMP%\afsd.dmp. The type of minidump defaults to Normal but
134 can be set to any other type via use of the
137 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client] MiniDumpType (DWORD)
139 (b) MiniDumps can be generated at any time using the "fs minidump"
140 command. This allows you to generate a minidump without
141 stopping the process or even requiring the use of a debugger
144 * an RX connection which reports bad ticket now treats it the same way
145 the expired ticket is treated. The ticket is removed from the
146 connection and a new anonymous connection is established.
148 * fs memdump now requires that the caller be in the AFS Client Admins
151 * additional debugging information is provided in cm_Analyze when the
152 error code is ignored.
154 * Fix a regression introduced into the pioctl() client code which
155 will cause a crash in winlogon.exe, explorer.exe and fs.exe if
156 MIT KFW is not installed. (1.3.82a)
158 * Remove AFS Gateway option from OpenAFS Control Panel (1.3.82a)
161 * Fix a race condition in cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall() that
162 could leave 'nrevp' pointing to freed memory. In the process,
163 optimize the processing to ensure that the applications monitoring
164 the status of the stat cache entry are only notified at most
167 * Conditionalize access to the Explorer Shell AFS->Mount Point
168 ->Remove menu item. Disable the item if the selected item(s)
169 are not mount points.
171 * Activate AFS RPC (RX) Free Packet Queues stored in Thread
172 Local Storage. This eliminates thread contention on the
173 global RX free packet queue. This should improve performance
174 on multi-CPU systems.
176 * Fix the IP address filtering code to properly load/unload
177 the IPHelper DLL so that Windows XP/2003 and beyond systems
178 do not have to manually probe the registry.
180 * CleanupACLEnt() was not being called consistently with
181 the cm_scache_t object referred to by the back pointer
182 mutex locked. This could in very rare conditions lead to
183 an invalid memory access.
185 * Added a script command to the msi installer "afs_replace"
186 which can be used to replace one version of OpenAFS with
187 another without requiring an uninstall and reinstall if
188 the installed msi is no longer in its original location.
190 * Apparently the problem with multi-domain forests with cross-
191 realm trusts to non-Windows realms was not entirely solved.
192 The authentication to the AFS SMB service failed because
193 the wrong name was being used. Using ASU as an example,
194 the authentication was being performed with the name
195 "QAAD\user" (an account in the forest root) and not
196 "user@ASU.EDU (the MIT Kerberos principal used to login with)
198 The solution was to add an additional dependency on KFW
199 in order or to be able to easily obtain the client principal
200 name stored in the MSLSA ccache TGT. This information is
201 used in two locations:
203 - the pioctl() function
205 - a new WinLogon Event Handler for the "logon" event.
207 The pioctl function will now be able to use the correct
208 name when calling WNetAddConnection2() and the "logon"
209 event handler will now be able to call WNetAddConnection2().
210 The hope is that the "logon" event handler will be called
211 before the profile is loaded but I have not guarrantee
215 * Fixed a locking error in cm_TryBulkStat() which had the
216 potential of deadlocking the system for the length of time
217 it takes to perform a bulk status fetch operation.
219 * Replaced time conversion code (UnixTime <-> FILETIME) to
220 be completely arithmetic instead of relying on a bizarre
221 algorithm involving a variety of C RTL time functions.
222 This has the side effect that UnixTime and FILETIME which
223 are both stored in UTC are interpretted as UTC throughout
224 the year. Windows will apply the same localization to AFS
225 as it does to NTFS. Applications which rely on the ability
226 to sync files between the two file systems will no longer
227 see the timestamps of files in AFS change an hour relative
228 to the files stored in NTFS or Windows based backup devices.
230 * Fixed a invalid memory access under a bizarre circumstance.
231 Windows will allow a physical mass media device to be
232 installed via Plug N Play to the system and will assign it
233 the lowest available drive letter. This is true even if the
234 drive letter is currently assigned in the user session to
235 a network device via NET USE (or its equivalent.) When this
236 happens, queries sent to the CIFS server will contain invalid
237 data. This invalid data was not being caught by the AFS
238 Client Service and was resulting in a crash when Freelance
241 * Fixed a reference count error when registering callbacks
242 on a stat cache object if the callback was already registered
244 * Add a case to cm_Analyze() in order to handle the case where
245 cm_GetConnByMServers() returns CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME because
246 the server list for the volume is empty. In this case, force
247 an update of the volume info and retry.
249 * Insert a missing cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall() which could
250 result in threads waiting for a callback to complete to never
253 * In the persistent cache, there is a maximum number of volume
254 entries. Allow volume entries to be reused if the maximum
255 number have been allocated and their reference count is zero.
257 * If we already have a dead virtual connection object, don't
258 ignore the fact that additional dead vc objects must be taken
261 * Removed a deadlock condition introduced in the summer of 2004.
262 Do not hold mx locks around calls to RX functions including
263 rx_NewCall(). That is what reference counts on the rx_connection
266 * Fixed an initialization error in afslogon.dll which could
267 result in random behavior including a failure to terminate
268 the NPLogon function. (1.3.80b)
270 * Fixed an error preventing the use of SMB authentication
271 on Windows 2000. (1.3.80a)
274 * Updated CellServDB to Public CellServDB 16 Mar 2005
276 * Fixed DNS AFSDB queries to ensure that "csail" cannot be
277 misinterpretted as "csail.mit.edu" when the resolver
278 is configured to append ".mit.edu" to failed DNS queries.
280 * Fixed another case in which the client would replace connections
281 to the host when it was not necessary. In this case the
282 situation would occur if cryptall was on and the connections
283 were unauthenticated due to lack of an appropriate token.
285 * OpenAFS for Windows has failed to work at sites which are
286 utilizing a cross-realm trust between an MIT/Heimdal realm
287 and a multi-domain Windows forest when the workstation being
288 accessed is not located in the root domain. This is caused
289 by a bug in the workstation which was triggered after the
290 introduction of Windows 2003 Server. When the bug is triggered,
291 the workstation attempts to authenticate users to afsd_service.exe
292 by contacting the Domain Controller instead of using the
293 LSA loopback authentication mechanism.
295 One of the reasons this bug occurs is because the workstation
296 does not have a reliable way of knowing that the service whose
297 netbios name is "AFS" is located on the workstation. This will
298 be fixed starting in Longhorn Beta 1 by Microsoft. The
299 "BackConnectionHostNames" registry value will be used to
300 indicate that the authentications to that service name should
301 be performed using the loopback authentication mechanism.
303 In the meantime, when Logon Caching is enabled, we can force
304 afsd_service.exe to authenticate using the logon cache before
305 contacting the Domain Controller. This will work with both
306 password and smart card based logons.
308 * The allDown logic in cm_ConnByMServers() was wrong. The allDown
309 flag should not be cleared if a volume's server reference is
310 marked as "offline". In the case where all of the volume's
311 servers are either "down" or the volumes are "offline", we want
312 cm_Analyze() to process the condition as CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE
313 instead of as CM_ERROR_TIMEDOUT. In fact, CM_ERROR_TIMEDOUT
314 should never occur in practice.
316 In the case of CM_ERROR_ALLOFFLINE, cm_Analyze() will sleep for
317 5 seconds, clear the server down and volume busy flags, and
318 then force an update from the VLDB. This allows the client to
319 update the location of a volume if the reason for it being
320 marked offline is because it is being moved. Calls to
321 cm_ConnByMServers() will be retried either until success or
322 the RDRtimeout period is reached.
324 * Correct the Power Management code behavior in response to
325 Standby, Suspend, and Shutdown events. Instead of flushing the
326 buffers associated with the mounted SMB submounts, simply write
327 all buffers which are marked dirty.
329 * Added support for "TheseCells" to afslogon.dll. "TheseCells"
330 provides a list of cells other than the default cell for which
331 tokens should be obtained using the default Kerberos principal.
332 This functionality is logon domain specific and is only available
333 when using KFW for authentication.
335 * Fixed FindNext Invalid Handle error caused by over agressive
336 attempts at garbage collecting dirSearch entries when the
337 dirSearch ID wraps from the maximum value to 1.
339 * Add support for registry defined server preferences for VLDB and
340 File servers. See registry.txt for details.
342 * Increased default cache size to 96MB and default number of cache
345 * Fixed refCount leaks related to directory lookups and pioctl calls.
347 * Callbacks revoked during a race condition with an attempt to
348 obtain the same callback no longer result in an inaccessible
351 * New command line tool:
353 afsdacl : Set or reset the DACL to allow starting or stopping
354 the afsd service by any ordinary user.
356 Usage : afsdacl [-set | -reset] [-show]
358 -reset : Reset the DACL
359 -show : Show current DACL (SDSF)
361 * IP addresses are no longer queried once at startup. Instead IP
362 addresses are obtained as needed. Loopback adapter addresses are
363 no longer published to the server.
365 * Pay attention to the MIT KFW registry configuration for automatic
366 importation of MSLSA credentials. (SOFTWARE\MIT\Leash32,MsLsaImport)
368 * Fix (once again) case-sensitive comparisons which was apparently
371 * Activate support for vos listvol -format
373 * Population of the "AFS Client Admins" group failed on non-English
374 versions of Windows because the name of the "Administrators" group
375 is localized. Now we lookup the name of the group by using the
376 Administrators Group Alias Relative ID.
378 * Multiple cell token acquisition within afscreds.exe was broken in the
379 case of Kerberos 5 cross realm authentication. Instead of contacting
380 the KDC associated with the cell's realm, afscreds would obtain a
381 token from the KDC of the user's realm. This would result in
382 "invalid kvno errors" while authenticating to the AFS servers.
383 Unauthenticated access would work. The symptoms would vary based upon
384 whether or not the VLDB servers had been contacted using unauthenticated
385 connections prior to the user obtaining tokens.
387 * The list of ACL entries was becoming corrupted. It appears as if
388 an ACL when it expires was not being appropriately cleaned up. In
389 fact, it was left in the list of ACLs associated with the scache
392 * Changed the default @sys name list to "x86_win32 i386_w2k i386_nt40"
393 for 32-bit x86 systems. The default for itanium will be "ia64_win64"
394 and "amd64_win64" for amd 64-bit processors.
396 * When executing executables, Windows provides a mechanisms by which
397 the normal search for DLLs can be bypassed. If a file foo.exe is
398 being executed and there exists a file or directory "foo.exe.local"
399 (the contents are ignored if a file), then Windows will search for
400 DLLs first in the "foo.exe.local" directory and second in the
401 directory in which the "foo.exe" file is located.
403 Previous releases of OAFW would improperly return
404 STATUS_NOT_A_DIRECTORY instead of the expected
405 STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND. This would cause the Windows SMB client
406 to terminate the search for the DLL causing the execution of the
409 * Rework the reference counting of smb_vc_t objects. The references
410 stored in the waiting locks were not counted. This could result in
411 an assertion if the reference count drops to zero.
413 * "fs wscell" returns "Freelance.Local.Root" for the workstation cell
414 when running in freelance mode.
416 * Added support for persistent caching of file contents, stat entries,
417 volume data, cell data, and name lookup data. When the registry
418 value, "NonPersistentCaching", is not defined or set to 0 the file
419 specified by "CachePath" becomes a persistent cache file. The
420 size of the cache file is computed at run time. It has a maximum
421 size of approximately 1.2GB. The contents of the file will be
422 validated according to the rules specified by the "ValidateCache"
425 * Added support for UUIDs. UUIDs are kept for as long as the
426 cache file is intact.
428 * Added cmdebug.exe and support cache manager debugging callback
429 interfaces in afsd_service.exe.
431 Usage: cmdebug -servers <server machine> [-port <IP port>] [-long]
432 [-addrs] [-cache] [-help]
433 Where: -long print all info
434 -addrs print only host interfaces
435 -cache print only cache configuration
437 * Symlinks to \\AFS\[all\]... will now be treated the same as
438 symlinks to /afs/.... However, please use /afs/... as otherwise
439 the symlinks won't work on Unix.
441 * Correct a problem with local CellID allocation for cells whose
442 server list is obtained via DNS instead of a CellServDB file. If
443 the DNS information expires the CellID assigned to the entry will
444 be changed. This causes all of the cm_scache_t objects which refer
445 to the old cellID number to become useless. Attempts to access
446 files or directories with cm_scache_t objects using the old cellID
447 will fail since the server list cannot be obtained.
449 * Correct deadlock condition in cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall which can
450 be triggered if the volume referenced by the cm_scache_t object is
453 * The AFS Service needs to respond to SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN messages
454 in addition to SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP.
456 * Move RPC shutdown until after the SMB and RX shutdown procedures
457 complete. Block until RPC shutdown is complete.
459 * Modify afslogon.dll (integrated logon) to wait for service if its
460 state is START_PENDING. If the timeout period occurs, reset to
461 the retry interval and not the sleep interval.
463 * When renewing the server list for a cell obtained via DNS AFSDB
464 records, the cm_cell_t entry must be removed from the list of all
465 cells. Otherwise, the list of cells will be corrupted.
467 * In the dcache and scache modules, use the cm_scache_t dataVersion
468 instead of the cm_fakeDirVersion.
470 * Synchronize fs.c with the unix version.
472 * The variable used to determine whether a file or virtual memory
473 mapped cache is used was not properly initialized to a default
474 value. If the registry setting "NonPersistentCaching" was not
475 set, the choice would be random. Properly initialized to be
478 * The memory mapped view was never unmapped before closing the file
479 at service shutdown. This is now properly cleaned up.
481 * Default location of Cache file is now %TEMP%\AFSCache
485 * A bug affecting new installations of 1.3.75/76 would result in
486 the creating of incorrect mountpoints in the freelance root.afs
487 volume for the default cell.
489 If "fs \\afs\all\<cellname>" lists a volume name of "root" instead
490 of "root.cell", you have been affected by the bug. To correct the
491 problem, execute the following commands:
493 fs rmmount \\afs\all\<cellname>
494 fs rmmount \\afs\all\.<cellname>
496 fs mkmount \\afs\all\<cellname> root.cell <cellname>
497 fs mkmount \\afs\all\.<cellname> root.cell <cellname> -rw
501 * A bug has been fixed in the auto-generation of Freelance root.afs
502 symlinks which produced random entries in the \\AFS\all directory.
504 * Support has been added for multi-homed servers
507 * Added a new registry value, "StoreAnsiFilenames", which can be used
508 to force the use of ANSI character sets instead of OEM Code Pages.
509 This feature is useful when users require the ability to create
510 filenames with 8-bit characters and need to access the files from
511 both Latin-1 based Unix systems as well as from Windows.
513 Activation of this feature will prevent access to files stored with
514 8-bit OEM characters.
516 * Shutdown all SMB threads in a synchronized manner when stopping the
519 * There is currently a maximum cache size of 1.3GB. The limit is imposed
520 by the largest contiguous block of unused memory within the 2GB process
521 space which can be assigned to the memory mapped file. Unfortunately,
522 when the executable digital signature verification code is activated
523 Windows sees fit to further segment the process memory which in turn
524 reduces the size of the maximum cache file to less then 800MB. If
525 larger cache sizes are desired, a new registry value should be set:
527 HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client (DWORD) "VerifyServiceSignature" = 0x0
529 Setting this value will disable the runtime verification of digital
530 signatures on afsd_service.exe and the afs dlls which it loads. It
531 will not disable the the version number check on those same files.
532 The signature verification is not a security messure and is only meant
533 to enhance the ability to afsd_service.exe to detect potential
534 destablizing mixtures of DLLs from incompatible distributions.
536 Added code to auto-disable the signature verification check if
537 the desired cache size is greater then 700MB.
539 * Windows' WinTrustVerify(WIN_SPUB_ACTION_PUBLISHED_SOFTWARE) is
540 used to verify the validity of the afsd_service.exe binary
541 as well as each of the AFS DLLs loaded by the service. Not only
542 must the digital signature be valid but the signatures of the
543 DLL must be signed by the same entity as the service.
545 * Implement new functions: cm_freelanceMountPointExists and
546 cm_freelanceSymlinkExists. Use them along with other validity
547 checks in cm_freelanceAddMount and cm_freelanceAddSymlink to
548 ensure that name collisions do not occur and that empty strings
549 are not valid file names.
551 A symlink may not have a name which would resolve to a valid
552 cell name. Doing so would prevent access to the cell.
554 * Add missing cm_HoldSCacheNoLock call to Freelance mount point
555 re-initialization code. The reference counts of the fake root.afs
556 volume scache object(s) would become invalid when the mount point
557 or symlink lists were altered.
559 * Add registry entries to provide mappings from the afsdsbmt.ini
560 to the new locations for applications which count on the use
561 of the old Profile file APIs. These apps are likely to fail
562 if the user does not have administrator privileges and the
563 registry is locked down.
565 * The afs_config.exe submounts dialog had two errors.
566 First, attempts to remove entries failed because the registry
567 key was being opened without KEY_WRITE privileges.
568 Second, when editing a submount entry, changing the name
569 would add a new key and leave the original one in place.
570 Now the original submount will be removed if its name is
573 * In recent months there have been several incidents in which
574 users have experienced problems starting or accessing
575 afsd_service.exe and after significant effort has been spent
576 it has turned out that they have two versions of AFS on the
577 machine or an inconsistent set of DLLs.
579 Code has now been added to afsd_service.exe which will walk
580 the list of modules loaded by afsd_service.exe and validate
581 that the version of the AFS DLLs matches the version of the
582 afsd_service.exe executable. If they do not match the service
585 * When Freelance mode is enabled and there is no registry
586 key HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance, afsd_service.exe
587 will attempt to import the afs_freelance.ini file contents.
588 If the file does not exist, it was creating a dummy file
589 with a r/o and r/w entry for the default cell and then
590 importing those values.
592 This process has been changed. The temporary file is no
593 longer created. Also, both the OpenAFS Client install
594 directory as well as %WINDIR% are checked for previous
595 afs_freelance.ini files.
597 * Added support for VL_GetEntryByNameN(). Still need to add
598 support for VL_GetEntryByNameU() for multi-homed support.
600 * Fix a deadlock situation in afscreds.exe when canceling an
601 auto-generated Obtain Tokens dialog
604 * Fix the locking of objects during Directory Searches in the
605 SMB/CIFS server. The failure to properly lock the reference
606 counts was resulting in the premature freeing of smb_dirSearch_t
607 objects while they were still in use by the SMB/CIFS client.
608 This does not solve the "Invalid Handle" problem.
610 * Fix Find Cell By Name pioctl call to return a valid cell
611 name for the Freelance fake root.afs volume.
612 "Freelance.Local.Root".
614 * Fix the Explorer Shell Extension Symlinks->Add operation.
615 The dialog template was missing and the link destination
616 string was too short.
618 * Add support for symlinks to Freelance root.afs volume
619 Stored at HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance\Symlinks
620 <number> = "<linkname>:<relative-path>."
621 Use symlink.exe to create, list, or remove
623 * Remove the fallback to the use of KFW's KRB4 library when obtaining
624 tokens. We never obtain KRB4 tickets.
626 * Fix AFS Client Configuration Control Panel to support new SysName
629 * Fix a bug in afsd_service.exe which could result in the SysName
630 not being read from the registry.
633 * Add code to block the issuance of AFS tokens by aklog.exe or
634 afscreds.exe when the Kerberos 5 principal name contains a dot.
636 * Modify the IsAdmin() function to always treat the local SYSTEM
637 account as an AFS client administrator. Affects fs.exe and
640 * Modify the internal handling of Quota Exceeded errors
642 * Upgrade all reference count fields in the Windows cache manager
643 and the osi library to use unsigned long instead of signed short.
644 A similar fix has been applied to the afs rpc (rx) library.
646 * fix the Windows cache manager to prevent it from replacing the
647 rx_connection object associated with the cm_conn_t object on each
648 and every operation if "fs crypt" was set. This explains the
649 dramatic performance difference when crypt is used vs clear.
650 The problem: 'cryptall', a boolean flag indicating whether or not
651 "fs crypt" is set, was being compared to the rx_connection
652 cryptlevel which is either rxkad_clear:0 or rxkad_crypt:2.
653 1 != 2 and therefore the rx_connection was always destroyed
654 and replaced on each and every operation.
656 Lock the cm_conn_t object around every call to RXAFS_xxxx functions.
657 It is not safe for the cm_conn_t object to not be locked because
658 rx_DestroyConnection might be called from another thread if:
659 - the user's tokens have changed or expired
660 - the crypt mode has changed
662 This fix appears to have also taken care of the problems associated
663 with Overlapped Writes resulting in Delayed Write errors.
665 * fix NSIS installer's AdminGroup.exe to properly create and
666 remove groups when given -create or -remove. The string comparison
669 * fs sysname now accepts a list of sysname values
671 * added a new registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client "IoctlDebug"
672 DWORD which when set to a non-zero value will cause error message
673 text to be output to stderr from the pioctl() routine. Useful in
674 debugging failures of fs.exe, tokens.exe, etc.
676 * added a test to the power management code to only perform a
677 flush operation if there is at least one network adapter which
678 is not a loopback adapter.
680 * Fix bug in loading of registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
681 "EnableKFW". This value will not be read if the key
682 HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client exists; even if the "EnableKFW"
683 value under that key does not.
685 * provide mechanisms to force the use of krb524d for Kerberos 5
686 ticket to AFS token conversion. For afslogon.dll and afscreds.exe
687 there is a new registry value "Use524" and for aklog.exe a new
688 command line parameter "-m".
690 * Fix the pattern matching algorithm to properly match patterns
693 * smb_ReceiveCoreRename() was factored to produce smb_Rename()
694 which is used by both the original function and the new
695 smb_ReceiveNTRename(). smb_ReceiveNTRename() supports the
696 creation of HardLinks in addition to Renaming. smb_Link()
697 is a new function which creates HardLinks via cm_Link().
698 cm_Link() is a new vnodeops function which creates links
701 smb_ReceiveNTRename() does not support the File Copy and
702 Move Cluster Information operations described in its interface.
703 ReceiveNTRename is under documented in CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf.
705 * When opening files via symlinks, we should follow the symlinks
706 until we reach the actual file stat cache entry. The stat cache
707 entry of the file should then be stored in the FID instead of
708 stat scache entry of the symlink.
710 * return bad operation errors for all unimplemented functions
711 even if we do not know the functions exist.
713 * Log bad packets and unknown operation packets to the trace log
715 * Map CM_ERROR_BADOP to STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED instead of
718 * Update list of known CIFS operations to include all those listed
719 in CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf.
721 * Modify the handling of HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts
722 to support the REG_EXPAND_SZ type.
725 * A new Windows authorization group "AFS Client Admins" is now
726 created and populated with the members of the "Administrators"
727 group. The group is used to determine which accounts on the
728 machine may be used to modify the AFS Client Configuration via
729 the UI and command line tools. afs_config.exe, fs.exe,
731 * Modify the WinLogon Logoff Event Handler to query NT4 domain
732 controllers for the remote profile path if Active Directory
733 services are not available.
735 * Fix aklog.exe to not add the AFS ID to the username
737 * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to
740 * The cm_Daemon thread is used to perform checks for
741 down servers, up servers, volumes, callback expirations,
742 lock maintenance and token expiration. Due to a gaff in
743 larger integer division the thread never performed any
744 work. Instead the current time computation would always
745 be less then the trigger times. This had an adverse affect
746 on the client's ability to maintain communication with servers,
747 keep volumes up to date, and flush user tokens and acls
748 when they have expired. This was broken when the 1.3 branch
749 was modified to support VC7 which no longer included
752 * An initialization problem with the Freelance code was
753 detected while fixing the callbackRequest. The cm_rootSCachep
754 object is obtained during afsd_InitDaemons() but the callback
755 information is incomplete. The callback information will not
756 be obtained until cm_MergeStatus is called from within
757 cm_GetCallback. Unfortunately, cm_SyncOp did not properly
758 test for the conditions under which the callback information
761 * Reports have been filed indicating that callbacks were
762 being lost. An examination of the code indicated that the
763 cm_server_t objects were not being properly reference
764 counted by the cm_scache_t and cm_callbackRequest_t objects.
765 In particular, the cm_server_t objects may have been freed
766 from beneath the cm_conn_t objects.
768 All of the reference counting is now done via the functions:
773 this improves the ability to track the referrals.
775 Each cm_BeginCallbackGranting Call now allocates a reference
776 to the cm_server_t. The cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall either
777 frees the reference or transfers it to the cm_scache_t
778 cbServerp field. These are then appropriately tracked
779 through the cm_Analyze call.
781 * Ensure that the dnlc hash table is the same size as the
782 dir name hash table (as per original author's note).
783 Increase the dnlc CM_AFSNCNAMESIZE to a multiple of 8
784 for compatibility with 64-bit systems.
786 * fix smb_ApplyV3DirListPatches to properly apply the hidden
787 attribute to dotfiles when the infoLevel < 0x101 and
788 cm_SyncOp has failed.
790 * Fix the Freelance registry initialization code. There
791 was a possibility that some systems could end up with
792 garbage in the registry during a clean install.
795 * file and directory names beginning with "." will now be given the
796 hidden attribute when the volume access is anonymous. this matches
797 the behavior when the volume access is via an authenticated user.
799 * Added a change monitor to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance
800 key. When a change occurs mark the root.afs data as invalid and
801 for it to be reloaded on the next access. This allows administrators
802 to modify the mount point list without restarting the service.
804 The freelance client used to provide a fake modification time for
805 the root.afs volume data and its mount points of 7/09/2001 14:24 EDT.
806 Added code to extract the last modification time of the Freelance
807 registry key and use that instead. The time now represents the
808 most recent mount point change.
810 * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to
813 * Additional Cache Control and Credential Manager options have been
814 added to the WiX installer. See deployment guide for details.
816 * The CachePath setting is now optionally a REG_EXPAND_SZ type
818 * The WiX installer has been upgraded. Version 2.0.1927.1 is now
821 * The loopback installation code may have had a problem updating the
822 %ETC%\HOSTS file which could have resulted in a premature failure.
823 Work around code has been added for the case where the file cannot
826 * The default max chunksize was increased from 15 (32K) to 17 (128K)
827 because Windows sends 64K blocks when using overlapped writes.
829 * The default number of server threads was increased from 4 to 25 to
830 better handle overlapped writes.
832 * The "AfscredsShortcutParams" registry value was not being properly
833 loaded by afscreds.exe. Therefore, the default value was always being
834 used instead of the value set by the installer.
836 * Windows XP provides downgrade attack detection to prevent an attacker
837 from being able to force the use of NTLM simply by disrupting
838 communication with the KDC. This attack cannot exist between the
839 Windows CIFS client and the AFS Client Service. Therefore, when a
840 downgrade has been detected the afs pioctl library will force the
841 establishment of a new CIFS connection using NTLM.
843 * A locking error was discovered surrounding all references to volume
844 server lists within the cm_cell.c source file.
846 * The logged into Windows username was incorrect on Terminal Server
849 * A new registry value "NonPersistentCaching" was added to the service
850 parameters key. When set to a non-zero value, the afs cache is stored
851 in the Windows paging file. There are two limitations to choosing
853 1. when persistent caching is implemented it won't work with
854 this flag set since there will be nothing to persist.
855 2. with this flag set the initial paging allocation cannot be
856 changed while the service is running
858 * An initialization bug was discovered in aklog.exe which affected users
859 who have a domain name for their afs servers which could not be mapped
863 * afs_config.exe now validates cell names against DNS in addition
864 to the CellServDB file.
866 * In order to allow the freelance client to connect to a volume with ID
867 equal to 1 on the default cell we changed the fake root.afs volume ID
868 once again. This time we choose 0xFFFFFFFF. In addition, we change
869 the cell ID of the fake root.afs volume from 1 to 0xFFFFFFFF as well.
870 It will now be impossible for a volume ID to match that of another
871 cell unless the client is connected to 0xFFFFFFFD cells. That should
872 be enough room for growth.
874 * Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
875 started from non-AFS drives. It is now possible to create a mount
876 point in the freelance fake root.afs volume with the command
878 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\<directory-name> <volume-name> <cellname>
882 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\openafs.org root.cell openafs.org
883 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\.openafs.org root.cell openafs.org -rw
885 * The algorithm used to re-attempt access to the servers associated with
886 a volume has been altered to properly address the case in which all
887 servers have been marked down. The previous algorithm did not reset
888 the server's down flags so the servers were never actually retried.
889 This caused a problem with active volumes if the network connectivity
890 was lost as could be the case with a network cable removal, wireless
891 drop, or laptop hibernation. With the fix volume access is restored
892 almost instantenously when network connectivity becomes available.
894 * Support for SMB/CIFS browsing has been added to the AFS Client Service
895 SMB server. It is now possible to use "NET VIEW \\AFS" to obtain a
896 listing of AFS submounts and freelance mount points. Support for
897 NETSHAREENUM, NETSHAREGETINFO, NETSERVERENUM2, NETSERVERGETINFO
898 significantly enhances the behavior of AFS volumes within the Explorer
899 Shell. For instance, "AFS" now shows up as server in the Explorer
900 with each submount or freelance mount point visible as a share.
901 The right click menu in each folder now works with full functionality
902 on a consistent basis.
904 * The network provider can be configured to have different behavior
905 depending on the domain that the user logs into. These settings are
906 only relevant when using integrated login. A domain refers to an
907 Active Directory (AD) domain, a trusted Kerberos (non-AD) realm or the
908 local machine (i.e. local account logins). The domain name that is
909 used for selecting the domain would be the domain that is passed into
910 the NPLogonNotify function of the network provider. (see registry.txt
913 * Added a new registry value [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]
914 "Authentication Cell" which may be used to specify a default
915 authentication cell for afscreds.exe which is different from
916 the default cell for the AFS Client Service daemon.
918 * Added a Logoff WinLogon Event Notification function to afslogon.dll.
919 afslogon.dll moved to %WINDIR%\System32\.
920 New registry entries added to register the dll for Winlogon events.
922 The logoff event will now force a call to ktc_ForgetAllTokens()
923 using the context of the user being logged off as long as the
924 user's profile is not loaded from within AFS. If the profile
925 was loaded from AFS we can't release the tokens since the Logoff
926 event is triggered prior to the profile being written back to
927 the its source location. This is now performed in an XP SP2
930 * Windows XP SP2 Internet Connection Firewall interoperability
933 * The %WINDIR%\afsdsbmt.ini contains four sections:
934 Submounts, Drive Mappings, Active Maps and CSC Policies.
935 The Submounts and CSC policies are now stored in the registry under
936 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts]
937 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CSCPolicy]
938 The Drive Mappings and Active Maps are stored in the registry under
939 [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Mappings]
940 [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Active Maps]
942 There is no automatic migration of this data as it would be impossible
943 to consistently migrate data to user profiles which may not be active
944 when the machine is updated.
946 * The %WINDIR%\afs_freelance.ini contains lists of mountpoints for the
947 fake root.afs volume. For the same reasons as for the cellservdb file,
948 this information should not be in %WINDIR%. This information is now
949 kept under the registry key
950 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance]
952 The data from the afs_freelance.ini file will be automatically
953 migrated to the registry on first execution of afsd_service.exe
955 * Keeping the CellServDB file in the location %WINDIR%\afsdcell.ini is
956 troublesome for several reasons. One, it is confusing for those who
957 expect the file to be named "CellServDB" instead of "afsdcell.ini".
958 Two, this file is not a Windows Profile formatted file. Three,
959 applications should not be reading or writing to %WINDIR%. It causes
960 problems for Windows Terminal Server.
962 The new location of CellServDB will be the OpenAFS Client install
963 directory which is by default C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client and can
964 be determined by querying the registry for
965 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\CurrentVersion]PathName
967 The existing afsdcell.ini will be migrated by the NSIS installer.
968 The Wix installer must still be updated to do the same.
970 * Change NSIS installer to use DNS by default; to remove Integrated Logon
971 High Security mode; and to add Terminal Services compatibility registry
972 entries to allow the OpenAFS tools to find the afsdcell.ini and other
973 configuration files in %WINDIR%.
975 * Add support for authenticated SMB connections. This will remove
976 the need for high security mode in most situations. Both NTLM
977 and Extended Security (GSS SPNEGO) modes are supported. Effectively,
978 only NTLM can be used even though Kerberos is now supported. The
979 reason is that it is not possible to construct a service principal
980 which is unique to each individual machine.
982 SMB Extended Auth does not work on XP SP2 unless one of two registry
983 modifications are made:
985 (1) To disable the check for matching host names on loopback connections
986 set this key. This does not require a reboot:
988 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
989 "DisableLoopbackCheck"=dword:00000001
991 (2) To add the AFS SMB/CIFS service name to an approved list. This
992 does require a reboot:
994 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
995 "BackConnectionHostNames"=multi-sz "AFS" "MACHINE-AFS"
997 afsd_service.exe will automatically add the current Netbios Name
998 to the BackConnectionHostNames list and then temporarily disable
999 the loopback check for one cycle of startup/shutdown of the service.
1000 We assume most folks do not start/stop without a reboot so this
1001 will be adequate in most cases.
1003 * Fix security hole in afslogon.dll which allowed passwords to be
1004 sent in clear text to the KDC in a misformed principal name.
1006 * Fix cm_GetCell() to properly handle expired dns entries
1009 * If Freelance mode is active and the afs_freelance.ini
1010 file does not exist, do not create an empty file.
1011 Instead create a file containing ro and rw mountpoints
1012 to the default cell using the standard conventions.
1014 * Modify the Freelance support to handle the ability
1015 to create rw mount points in the fake root.afs volume.
1017 * Changed the RPC mechanism used for token setting from
1018 named pipes to local. Use of named pipes can be restored
1019 by setting the environment variable AFS_RPC_PROTSEQ to
1022 Named pipes were required when a Windows 9x system was
1023 using a NT system in gateway mode which is incompatible
1024 with our use of local loopback adapters.
1026 * In afscreds.exe, if a username of the form user@REALM is
1027 specified and no password is specified, do not perform a
1028 kinit operation. Only perform the aklog functionality.
1030 * Add a new registry value which allows the number of processors
1031 on which afsd_service.exe executes to be restricted. Valid
1032 values are 1..numOfProcessors
1034 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAfsDaemon\Parameters
1038 * A second MSI based installer option is now available.
1040 * Fixed Kerberos 5 kinit functionality in afscreds.exe to properly
1041 request tickets for user/instance@REALM instead of just user@REALM
1043 * Modify the Power Management Notify routine to wait for the Hard Dead
1044 timeout period instead of a fixed 19 seconds. With the longer timeout
1045 periods Hibernation and Standby could never succeed when network
1046 connectivity is not available.
1048 * The following fs.exe commands are now restricted to Administrator:
1049 - checkservers with a non-zero timer value
1052 - sysname with a new sysname list
1061 setting the default sysname for a machine should be done via the
1062 registry and not via "fs sysname".
1064 * NSIS installer adds options to install Debugging Symbols
1065 and the Microsoft Loopback Adapter; the user is now also
1066 given the ability to select the afscreds.exe startup options.
1068 * Build system modified to generate symbols for FREE (aka RELEASE)
1069 builds as well as CHECKED (aka DEBUG) builds
1071 * Sites which have a volume ID of 0x20000001 assigned to their
1072 root.cell volumes have been experiencing problems with accessing
1073 the root.cell volume of their cell when Freelance mode has been
1074 active. This was because 0x20000001 was assigned to the fake
1075 root.afs volume created by freelance. The fake volume id is
1076 now set to 0x00000001 to prevent conflicts.
1078 * The timeout logic in the AFS Client Service has been wrong
1079 for sometime. It is based on two different assumptions.
1080 First, the SMB client timeout is a fix value as was the case
1081 with OS/2 Lan Manager. This assumption is incorrect. The
1082 SMB timeout in Windows is a dynamic value computed based upon
1083 a fixed minimum timeout to which is added time based upon the
1084 size of the request and the performance characteristics of
1085 the connection. Second, it is the responsibility of the
1086 SMB Server to enforce the timeout requirements of the client.
1087 This is untrue. The SMB Server cannot be expected to know
1088 the requirements of the client. More importantly, if the
1089 SMB server uses the SMB client timeout as a value to restrict
1090 its behavior as an RX client, the performance characteristics
1091 of the local SMB session would be used to prematurely terminate
1092 WAN connections with significantly different performance
1095 The timeout logic has therefore been modified in the following
1097 . the Lan Manager Workstation (SMB) Session Timeout is used only
1098 as a basis for configuring the Connection Dead Timeout
1099 and Hard Dead Timeout values. The Connection Dead Timeout
1100 must be at least 15 seconds longer than the SMB Timeout
1101 and the Hard Dead Timeout must be at least double the
1102 Connection Dead Timeout.
1103 . New registry entries have been added to allow the Connection
1104 Dead Timeout and Hard Dead Timeout values independent of the
1105 Lan Manager Workstation Session Timeout
1106 . The test to enforce the SMB Client Timeout has been removed.
1108 One of the side-effects of removing the enforcement of the SMB
1109 Client Timeout is that regardless of whether or not the SMB client
1110 is available to receive the response (and how would the SMB server
1111 know) the RX protocol response can be used to update the AFS
1112 Client Service state for ready access by future SMB client
1115 This should be the end of the "Server paused or restarting messages"
1117 * Add support for arbitrary UNC paths to the pioctl() support.
1118 This enables the fs commands as well as the AFS Shell Extension
1119 to work correctly when UNC paths are being used.
1121 * Fix afscreds.exe (by updating afskfw.lib) to search for cells via
1122 DNS if the cell configuration cannot be determined via CellServDB
1124 * Add debug info to test whether CM_BUF_WAITING or CM_SCACHE_WAITING
1125 are ever set more than once at a time
1127 * Fix the management of lists of cm_cell_t structures when using
1128 DNS to lookup cell information. The previous code would fail to
1129 reuse the same cellID for a cell if DNS was used more than once
1130 for a given cell name. When the ttl expired, a single cm_cell_t
1131 could be inserted into the cm_allCellsp list more than once
1132 producing a loop. In addition, the vlServerp list belonging to
1133 the cell was not freed resulting in improper refCounting of the
1136 * Add DNS support to cm_IoctlNewCell() which previous only examined
1139 * Add cm_FreeServer() function and call it from cm_FreeServerList()
1140 to properly garbage collect cm_server_t objects
1142 * Add numVCs variable to smb.c to track the number of smb_vc_t
1143 objects created and use it to initialize the vcID field which
1144 previously was set to 0 in all objects resulting in FindByID
1147 * Fixed DNS lookups to work consistently throughout the OpenAFS
1148 product instead of just from within the afsd_service.exe
1150 * Added a runtime check to ensure that AFS Client Service SMB
1151 Server is accepting connections before attempting to mount
1154 * Read IP addresses for volume servers out of the CellServDB
1155 file if gethostbyname() on the hostname fails.
1157 * Fix getcellconfig() to populate both the Hostnames as well
1158 as IP addresses when loading cell data via DNS
1160 * Increase the Connection Dead Time to 50 from 20 seconds
1161 Increase the Hard Dead Time to 120 from 40 seconds
1162 (matches the Unix values)
1164 * Fixed an assertion validating the number of allocated NCBs
1166 * Fixed the build environment to consistently build for
1167 Windows 2000 and above. (APPVER = 5.0)
1169 * Fixed rx_debug to properly validate the receipt in incoming
1170 data with select() and recvfrom(). Do not copy data out of
1171 the socket buffer unless success is indicated.
1174 * afsd_service.exe will now display a message box to the
1175 desktop when it terminates due to an IP Address Change.
1177 * installer no longer deletes AFS Server configuration data
1180 * installer generates a warning dialog if the RPC service
1181 is not properly configured
1183 * installer compressed with lzma instead of bzip2
1185 * afsd_service.exe shutdown crash solved once and for all
1187 * reference counting of smb_vc_t data structures improved
1189 * name space collision of smb_fid_t event objects corrected
1191 * the output of "fs memdump" is now written to
1192 %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_alloc.log
1194 * the file TaAfsApp_1033.dll is now properly installed allowing
1195 the User Manager to start
1197 * a new algorithm is used for computing filename pattern matches
1199 * afscreds.exe now accepts user names containing instance
1202 * Fix the Directory Name Lookup Cache to be case-sensitive.
1203 This is crucial in environments in which a Windows client
1204 is accessing a directory with more than one filename that
1205 differs only by case. If the directory contains "FOO"
1206 and "Foo". You want "DEL Foo" to delete the correct one.
1207 We still have a problem in that "DEL foo" will delete a
1208 random filename. This will be addressed in a future release.
1210 * Fix afscreds.exe -M option (renewMaps) to work when High
1211 Security mode is off. Also, remember to disable the ActiveMap
1212 flag in afsdsbmt.ini when a drive mapping is removed.
1214 * Updates to NSIS installer script. AFS Server configuration
1215 data will not be destroyed on un-install or re-install.
1216 Use a better compression algorithm.
1218 * afslogon.dll now uses KFW to obtain tokens when available
1220 * afslogon.dll when given an all uppercase username will
1221 attempt to authenticate with both the uppercase name
1222 and an all lowercase variation
1224 * DST modification removed. The fix appears to make things
1225 worse after a reboot of the machine.
1227 * fs.exe: added "cscpolicy" which is used to
1228 change client side caching policy for AFS shares
1230 Usage: fs cscpolicy [-share <AFS share>] [-manual] [-programs]
1231 [-documents] [-disable] [-help]
1233 * Several uninitialized variables have been initialized
1235 * It is now possible to obtain tokens using cross realm
1236 Kerberos within afscreds.exe:
1238 user: jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
1240 Will obtain a cross realm ticket for jaltman/DEMENTIA.ORG@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
1241 will will in turn be used to obtain afs@DEMENTIA.ORG.
1242 The resulting token will be stored with the display name
1243 jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU@dementia.org
1245 * aklog.exe has been added to the client
1247 Usage: aklog [-d] [[-cell | -c] cell [-k krb_realm]]
1248 [[-p | -path] pathname]
1252 -d gives debugging information.
1253 krb_realm is the kerberos realm of a cell.
1254 pathname is the name of a directory to which you wish to authenticate.
1255 -noprdb means don't try to determine AFS ID.
1256 -5 or -4 selects whether to use Kerberos V or Kerberos IV.
1257 (default is Kerberos V)
1258 No commandline arguments means authenticate to the local cell.
1261 * All of the resource files have been restructured to adhere to
1262 a set of rules IBM implemented for loading string resources.
1263 These rules had either been forgotten or were not discovered
1264 by folks working on the OpenAFS sources. The end result was
1265 memory corruption. This is primary item which was preventing
1266 the AFS Server from working.
1268 * Increased the size of the maximum ticket size stored in a token
1269 from 344 bytes to 12,000. Increased the buffers used to convey
1270 messages between the pioctl() caller and the SMB Server from
1271 1000 bytes to 12,512. The code appeared to have been writing
1272 above the top of the stack by quite a few number of bytes.
1273 (The increased ticket size is necessary for the next item.)
1275 * When obtaining AFS Tokens via KFW, krb524 is no longer required.
1276 Instead the raw Kerberos 5 ticket is used in its entirety. This
1277 is extremely important as it allows us to use pure Kerberos 5 KDCs
1278 as the source of the AFS authentication. The use of up to 12,000 byte
1279 tickets will allow tickets produced by all versions of Microsoft
1280 Active Directory to be used.
1281 - create a user account.
1282 - designate it DES only
1284 - specify its UPN to be "afs@realm"
1285 - assign a SPN of "afs/cellname" to the UPN with setspn.exe
1287 * Do not enforce the funky 8dot3 pattern matching rule that the first "."
1288 is special when using long file names. (you must use "*.*" and not "*")
1289 Instead only enforce it when performing 8dot3 searches.
1291 * Fixed the DST problem with creation times being set one hour ahead
1293 * Fixed the problem when using \\afs\cell-alias. For example,
1294 \\afs\uncc instead of \\afs\uncc.edu. Do not a new cell struct
1295 for the alias name; instead simply expand the name. One of the
1296 symptoms of this problem was a loss of acquired tokens.
1298 * Fixed the AFS Shell Extension. The Symbolic Link menu was empty
1299 of strings. (Only English strings provided.)
1301 * Fixed the installer to properly replace in use files.
1303 * Fixed the build system to cleanup generated component version files
1305 * The release build compiled with MSVC 6.0 compiler to avoid the
1306 afsd_service.exe shutdown crash. This does not solve the problem
1307 but simply avoids it for the time being.
1311 * fix afslogon.dll to not corrupt memory when High Security mode
1314 * fix afsd_service.exe to not attempt to restore the stack when
1315 an exception occurs. (not safe in multi-threaded programs)
1317 * fix uninstaller to properly remove the CRT and MFC DLLs
1319 * remove a Message Box from afscreds.exe when getcellconfig()
1320 fails on a kerberos realm which is not a cell
1322 The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
1325 * "fs setserverprefs" will leave afsd service deadlocked
1327 * "vos listaddrs" will core dump
1329 * installer sets the appropriate keys to support Integrated Logon
1331 * installer disables the "Find Lana by Name" functionality as it
1332 was causing headaches for many users
1334 * fix the intermittent crash of the power management thread when
1335 shutting down the AFS Client Service
1337 * optimizes the obtain drive mount list functionality which is
1338 executed every time the mount tab in afscreds.exe and afs_config.exe
1339 are refreshed. (this happens a lot)
1341 * fix the service shutdown logic. add the STOP_PENDING state
1342 and do not accept additional service events after we declare
1345 The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
1348 * flexelint was run against the source tree and hundreds (perhaps
1349 thousands) of corrections were applied to ensure prototypes
1350 were in use; types were used consistently; variables were
1351 initialized; unused variables were removed; etc.
1353 * A wide variety of instrumentation was added including the
1354 ability to produce a stack trace from within afsd_service.exe
1357 * Dynamic configuration of the RDRtimeout value based upon the
1358 LanMan Workstation Session Timeout
1360 * The mount root no longer needs to be called "/afs". This
1361 is now set by a registry value "MountRoot" within the key
1362 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
1364 * The cell list is now only read out of afsdcell.ini when the
1365 file changes instead of each time a cell is resolved.
1367 * Thread synchronization was added to cm_server.c and ktc_nt.c
1369 * All calls to GlobalAlloc()/GlobalFree() were replaced with
1370 calloc()/free(). The Global functions were needed on Windows 3.x
1371 but have caused a variety of problems on the Win32 platforms.
1372 Avoiding them is highly recommended by several Microsoft
1373 Knowledgebase articles
1375 * Support for Symbolic Links added to the AFS Shell Extension
1377 * Added a registry value "OverlayEnabled" to determine if
1378 Shell Extension Overlays should be enabled.
1379 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
1381 * New Build system to support VC6, VC.NET, VC.NET2003 compilers and
1382 separate trees for checked and free builds. Build system supports
1383 a custom directory src\WINNT\extra which can be used as a grafting
1384 location of organization specific additions to the build tree.
1386 * New installer built using NSIS 2.0.
1388 * Named all kernel objects in order to allow them to be monitored
1389 with tools such as SysInternals' ProcExp.exe.
1391 * Introduced new EventLog framework for AFSD
1393 * Introduced Power Management interface to AFSD for Standby and
1394 Hibernate modes to allow cache to be flushed prior to network
1397 * Utilize Win32 DNSQuery API instead of internal routines. This
1398 allows DNS SRV queries to be sent to all current domain name
1399 servers. Not just one specified in an INI file. DNS is now
1402 * "NetbiosName" registry value may be used to specify a fixed
1403 Netbios Name such as "AFS" to be used instead of "HOSTNAME-AFS"
1404 when the loopback adapter is in use. If you need to use the
1405 old notation with a loopback adapter installed specify a registry
1408 "NetbiosName" REG_EXPAND_SZ = "%COMPUTERNAME%-AFS"
1410 * Refactor all modules which depend on LAN Adapter and NetbiosName
1411 determination in a new library: lanahelper.lib. This allows for
1412 consistent behavior throughout the product.
1414 * Move the afsd.log and afsd_init.log files to the directory specified
1415 by the "TEMP" environment variable. This is usually %WINDIR%\TEMP
1416 for services. Added the Date to the log entries.
1418 * New registry value "RxMaxMTU" used to limit the size of the RX
1419 packets sent by the AFS Client Service to the Server. In order
1420 to enable OpenAFS to work across the Cisco IPSec VPN the packet
1421 size must be restricted to 1264 or smaller. The latest NSIS
1422 installer sets a value of 1260 by default.
1424 * New registry value "RxNoJumbo" to disable the use of Jumbo Rx
1425 packets. This is not needed in order to work across the Cisco
1426 VPN but might be needed for other network environments. This
1427 value is not set by the NSIS installer.
1429 * New registry value "HideDotFiles" is used to apply the Hidden
1430 attribute to files whose names begin with a '.'. This value
1431 is set by the NSIS installer.
1433 * New registry value "MaxMpxRequests" allows the maximum number
1434 of multiplexed sessions to be configured at run time. This
1435 value is not set by the NSIS installer. The default value is
1438 * New registry value "MaxVCPerServer" allows the maxmimum number
1439 of VCs per server to be configured at run time. This value is
1440 not set by the NSIS installer. The default value is 100.
1442 * New registry value "AllSubmount" allows the "all" submount to
1443 be disabled by setting its value to 0x00.
1445 * Allow cells names to be valid mount points
1446 \\<netbiosName>\<cellname>
1448 * Store the active state of drive mappings in order for afscreds.exe
1449 to restore them upon startup
1451 * Add exception handling to generate a Stack Trace to the afsd_init.log
1452 file if one happens to occur.
1454 * Add lots of logging to help detect the cause of invalid SMB packets
1456 * Enable Kerberos for Windows to be used to obtain AFS Tokens via
1457 conversion of Kerberos 5 "afs" service tickets. Supports auto-
1458 renewal of expiring tokens as long as afscreds.exe is running.
1460 * New afscreds.exe command line options:
1462 -M = renew drive maps
1463 -N = ip address change detection
1466 * New registry value "EnableKFW" in {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
1467 determines whether or not MIT Kerberos for Windows should be used
1468 to obtain tokens via Kerberos 5 tickets.
1470 * New registry value "AfscredsShortcutParams" in
1471 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
1472 determines the command line parameters to be specified when "fixing"
1473 the AFS Shortcut in the user's startup folder.
1475 * The "ShowTrayIcon" registry value has been moved from
1476 HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
1477 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
1479 * The <cell name> registry values used to store the token expiration
1480 reminders have been moved from
1481 HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
1482 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Reminders
1484 * Obtain the Logon User Name from the Explorer key when available
1486 * new text document doc\txt\winnotes\registry.txt lists all registry
1487 values used by OpenAFS (excluding the AFS Server)
1489 * BUG: rx_securityClass objects were not properly reference
1490 counted and were never freed.
1492 * BUG: reduce the number of conditions under which CM_ERROR_TIMEOUT
1493 would be generated. The existence of a server does not imply
1494 that it is not down. If all of the servers for a cell are down
1495 return CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME instead. This prevents the Explorer
1498 * BUG: the directory name lookup cache failed to free the entries
1499 in the cache when the name cache entries cycled. The entries
1500 in the cache would become dereferenced without being freed.
1502 * BUG: fs setserverprefs could be executed without Administrator
1505 * BUG: the number of allocated NCB objects (100) exceeded the number
1506 which could actually be waited upon by the kernel (64). Any objects
1507 which were utilized above the limit could never have event completions
1510 * BUG: smb_username_t objects were not being reference counted and
1511 were not properly freed.
1513 * BUG: smb_tid_t objects could under unusual circumstances be freed
1514 before they were no longer referenced.
1516 * BUG: smb_fid_t object pointer were frequently used even when
1517 their value could be NULL. They were not properly released and
1518 therefore they were never freed.
1520 * BUG: smb_packet_t data structures were not completely initialized
1523 * BUG: when Rx produces a CM_ERROR_NOIPC error do not return "Access
1524 Denied" because that causes the Explorer Shell to try again until
1525 access is obtained. Instead return "Remote Resources" which allows
1526 the shell to move on and treat the error as transient.
1528 * BUG: when initializing the NCBreturns structure, separate Event objects
1529 were created for each NCB although a single Event object was supposed
1530 to be shared by all.
1532 * BUG: smb_dirSearch_t objects were not being properly referenced counted
1535 * BUG: smb_tran2Packet_t objects were not being properly referenced
1538 * BUG: directory path creation did not handle the case of multiple
1539 directories requiring creation in one attempt
1541 * BUG: SMB requests which required an Extended Response were ignored.
1542 This prevented some files from being written to AFS volumes.
1544 * BUG: character strings were being freed even after they were
1545 inserted into in use data structures
1547 * BUG: inconsistent usernames were used when High Security mode was
1548 enabled. (there is still much to do in this area)
1550 * BUG: pioctl() calls which require out of band RPC operations were
1551 susceptible to race conditions when performed by multiple processes
1553 * BUG: memory allocation and deallocation crossed instances of the
1554 C Runtime Library producing memory leakage and corruption in
1555 afscreds and the client configurator.
