[Garry Zacheiss]

A compressed tar file of OpenAFS 1.2.7-rc3 is now available at:

  http://www.openafs.org/dl/openafs/testers/openafs-1.2.7-rc3.tar.gz

(rc2 was tested internally, and never announced)

Changes from the last announced release candidate include:

 - Integration of FreeBSD support from OpenAFS CVS mainline.

 - namei fileserver and salvager should now build and work on AIX.

 - The ptserver now more tightly acls the dumpentry operation.

 - When possible, instead of using afs system calls for donated context,
   linux kernel threads are created and the system calls made by afsd
   now return.

 - Shared library versions of libafsrpc and libafsauthent are now built.

Please try out this candidate release and report your findings.

Garry, for the OpenAFS Gatekeepers
