OpenAFS 1.2.11 is now available for download from the openafs.org web
site.
In addition to the gzipped tarfile of source, binary distributions of
OpenAFS 1.3.70 are available for Windows XP and 2003 as both an MSI and
an installer package, AIX 4.3.3, Darwin 7.0, Tru64 5.0A,
Solaris 7, Solaris 8, and Solaris 10 beta 2 in a gzipped tar format, and a
MacOS X 10.3 package in a tarfile.
Further ports will be uploaded as they become available.
For Windows, 1.3.70 is the currently supported stable client. The
following paragraphs detail changes in the Windows client; Note that if
you have XP and are moving to service pack 2, this is a critical update.
For UNIX, 1.3.70 is a milestone in the 1.4 release cycle. Starting in
1.3.70, platforms with pthreads support provide a volserver which like the
fileserver and butc backup system uses pthreads. Solaris versions
8 and above, AIX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Darwin, MacOS and Linux clients support
large (>2gb) files, and provided fileservers have this option enabled.
HP-UX may also support large files, but has not yet been verified. We hope
sites which can do so will make use of 1.3.70 on their UNIX platforms and
provide feedback to help us fix any remaining issues before 1.4 is
released.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WINDOWS XP SP2 AND ALL PREVIOUS RELEASES OF
OPENAFS FOR WINDOWS
There is a serious incompatibility between Microsoft Windows XP SP2
and all previous versions of AFS for Windows whether released by IBM/Transarc
or OpenAFS.org. The afslogon.dll which provides the
Integrated Logon functionality violates newly imposed security
restrictions. These restrictions cause network operations performed
during DLL process attachment to block forever. This will prevent
proper loading and unloading of user profile information. Depending
on the version of AFS, the boot cycle of Windows XP SP2 may fail to
complete.
All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release prior
to the installation of Windows XP SP2. If OpenAFS for Windows cannot
be installed, all references to afslogon.dll should be removed from
the system. If present the following registry key should be deleted
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows_NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\Notify\AfsLogon
In addition, the string "TransarcAFSDaemon" must be removed from the "Provider
Order" value in the following keys:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HwOrder
Doing so will avoid the incompatibility and will disable the integrated
logon functionality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Announcement:
OpenAFS for Windows release 1.3.70 is the culmination of eight months of
significant effort which has has resulted in the most stable and
functional AFS client for the Windows operating systems in the history
of AFS. While the last five months have produced a new stable build
every month, it is now time to slow things down for a while. The
OpenAFS Gatekeepers do not anticipate releasing another stable build for
the Windows platform before the end of the year. In the meantime,
development will continue to focus on functionality which is expected to
be destabilizing in the near term but which in the long term will
produce an even better product for the subsequent year.
The 1.3.70 release is a departure from previous releases and is
not fully backward compatible. In particular, not all configuration
data will be re-used from previously installed releases. In this
release all OpenAFS configuration data is moved out of the WINDOWS
directory and stored either within the registry or the OpenAFS Client
installation directory. The location of information is documented
within the afs-install-notes.txt and registry.txt files associated with
the release. It is hoped that this is the only time that OpenAFS.org
will have to make such an incompatible change.
Active development of OpenAFS for Windows installation and configuration
documentation is underway within the OpenAFS Wiki. It is hoped the
wider community will continue the efforts of a small few in extending
the collective knowledge. Please examine the Wiki documentation at
http://grand.central.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/NewWindowsDocumentation
Feel free to edit the contents to correct spelling, grammar, and
factual inconsistencies.
The following is a summary of major features added to OpenAFS for
Windows since the 1.2.10 release:
* Support for Windows 2003 Terminal Server
* Support for Windows XP SP2
* Kerberos 5 support is provided via integration with the MIT
Kerberos for Windows 2.6.x distribution. This supports token
retrieval via Kerberos 5 without the use of krb524d; automatic
token renewal; tokens for multiple cells from a single Kerberos 5
principal; a built in aklog command line client; support for use
of Windows Active Directory issued tickets; and more.
* OpenAFS ships with its own version of aklog which includes
Kerberos 5 support as well as the ability to use PTS to create
new users in foreign cells after obtaining a cross-cell token.
* The Microsoft Loopback Adapter is automatically installed by
the OpenAFS for Windows installers. With the MSA installed
OpenAFS will use a common "AFS" server name on all machines
simplifying the use of AFS paths within login scripts
* AFS UNC paths are now supported throughout the operating
system. \\AFS\cellname\directory
* SMB/CIFS connections are now authenticated thereby closing a
security hole.
* OpenAFS will now by default utilize a locally defined root.afs
volume. Now longer is network connectivity to the root.afs
volume of the default cell a requirement for starting the AFS
Client Service. (This feature is known as "freelance" or
"dynamic root" mode.)
* Cell server lookups via DNS are now active by default without
any additional configuration.
* The integration logon functionality has been significantly
enhanced to support different behavior based upon the domain used
to logon to the machine.
* The AFS Systray tool has been enhanced with new command line
options used to automatically restore drive mappings from
previous sessions. This is particularly useful with roaming
profiles.
* The AFS Client Service configuration may only be altered via
Administrator accounts.
* OpenAFS for Windows will be compatible with both Windows XP SP2
and Windows 2003 SP1 (when they are released)
* Old style profile (.ini) files are no longer used. All
configuration information is now stored in the registry with
proper separation of user and machine specific data. This allows
individual users to maintain their own drive mappings as well as
be able to roam from machine to machine and keep their settings.
* Integration with the Windows Explorer has been significantly
improved.
* User tokens are destroyed on logout (except when profile is
stored within AFS).
* Large numbers of resource leaks and other coding errors have been
corrected.

Bug reports should be sent to openafs-bugs@openafs.org. Please include
as much information as possible about the issue. If you are reporting a
crash, please install the debugging symbols by re-running the installer.

AFS Client Trace file %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd.log. The AFS Client startup
log is %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_init.log. Send the last continuous block of
log information from this file.
