Folks, I have uploaded new daily builds to

   /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS/
   \\afs\athena.mit.edu\user\j\a\jaltman\Public\OpenAFS\
   http://web.mit.edu/~jaltman/Public/OpenAFS/

I plan to announce 1.3.70 on Monday.  The new daily builds
include the following changes since 1.3.66 to solve issues
discovered since that release:

    * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to
      aklog.exe

    * Additional Cache Control and Credential Manager options have been
      added to the WiX installer.  See deployment guide for details.

    * The CachePath setting is now optionally a REG_EXPAND_SZ type

    * The WiX installer has been upgraded.  Version 2.0.1927.1 is now
      required.

    * The loopback installation code may have had a problem updating the
      %ETC%\HOSTS file which could have resulted in a premature failure.
      Work around code has been added for the case where the file cannot
      be deleted.

    * The default max chunksize was increased from 15 (32K) to 17 (128K)
      because Windows sends 64K blocks when using overlapped writes.

    * The default number of server threads was increased from 4 to 25 to
      better handle overlapped writes.

    * The "AfscredsShortcutParams" registry value was not being properly
      loaded by afscreds.exe.  Therefore, the default value was always
      being used instead of the value set by the installer.

    * Windows XP provides downgrade attack detection to prevent an
      attacker from being able to force the use of NTLM simply by
      disrupting communication with the KDC.  This attack cannot exist
      between the Windows CIFS client and the AFS Client Service.
      Therefore, when a downgrade has been detected the afs pioctl
      library will force the establishment of a new CIFS connection using
      NTLM.

    * A locking error was discovered surrounding all references to volume
      server lists within the cm_cell.c source file.

    * The logged into Windows username was incorrect on Terminal Server
      machines.

    * A new registry value "NonPersistentCaching" was added to the
      service parameters key.  When set to a non-zero value, the afs
      cache is stored in the Windows paging file.  There are two
      limitations to choosing this option:
         1. when persistent caching is implemented it won't work with
            this flag set since there will be nothing to persist.
         2. with this flag set the initial paging allocation cannot be
            changed while the service is running

    * An initialization bug was discovered in aklog.exe which affected
      users who have a domain name for their afs servers which could not
      be mapped to a realm

Please test these builds ASAP.

Thanks.

Jeffrey Altman
