hi there,
i've just made available asun2.1.1.
where to get it:
<ftp.u.washington.edu:/public/asun/netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.1.tar.gz>
<ftp.u.washington.edu:/public/asun/asun2.1.0-2.1.1.diff.gz>
differences from asun2.1.0:
atalkd:
- fixed atalkd multicast setting
- atalkd should again do the right thing with appletalk
interfaces and glibc on linux 2.0.x kernels.
- ignores slave interfaces when configuring itself
pap/papd:
- fixed sequence count
afpd:
- streamlined the DSI interface (and added incomplete stubs
for sendfile)
- fixed default root directory desktop/icon info
- fixed a buffer overflow problem with .AppleDesktop
- added -tickleval <sec> as an afpd.conf option. be careful
with this. both client and server have to agree on the
tickle value.
- rename fixes
- realloc fixes
- FPChangePW fixes
- read-only filesystems now get reported correctly.
other:
- minor changes to the various Makefiles
- minor changes to rc.atalk.redhat
all in all, updating would be a good idea.
i've been a little bereft of time lately, but i'm currently doing the
following for asun2.2:
1) converting afpd to using appledouble v2, and
2) writing a CNID database (using the wonders of the
berkeley v2 db)
this should allow us to get persistent DID's and easy CNID lookups
(making sherlock and pre-8.5 aliases happy). however, this has the
possibility of screwing things up if not done correctly. so, i would
like volunteers to test this out when i've got something close to
working. for those interested, this might take a little while as afpd
currently knows too much about the intimate details of the adouble
format. i have to abstract that a little so that we can handle
arbitrary appledouble versions. once that's all this database/v2 stuff
is in place though, it should be fairly easy to add per-directory
databases to speed up FPEnumerate and enable
shortname(8+3)/longname(32)/very longname(255 unicode) mappings.
i have other things that aren't as fundamental (filename morphing,
chaining byte locks) that i plan to put into asun2.2. they might even
make it into asun2.1 if i'm prodded enough. we'll see.
NOTE: i still need feedback re: the server disconnects. please let me
know all the details of a failing client and server (oses of both,
control panels, appleshare client versionq, and network cards and
speed as a minimum) as well as the relevant syslog messages.
