*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.5
New amd.conf global parameter: nfs_allow_any_interface. By default it is
set to 'no' which means that Amd accepts local NFS packets only from
127.0.0.1. If set to 'yes' then Amd will accept local NFS packets from any
local interface; this is useful on hosts that may have multiple interfaces
where the system is forced to send all outgoing packets (even those bound to
the same host) via an address other than 127.0.0.1.
Add support for specifying the host to match in the mount selectors netgrp
and netgrpd. Now one can use either netgrp(<group-name>) or
netgrp(<group-name>,<host-name>).
- Bugs fixed:
* handle old-style filehandles correctly (for mount points longer
than 28 chars)
* don't turn off attribute cache for regular NFS mounts (improves
performance)
* detect G/DBM support via gdbm_compat library (Debian)
* detect NDBM support in libc (FreeBSD 6)
- minor new ports:
i386-unknown-freebsd6.1 (RELEASE)
i386-unknown-openbsd3.9
powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.4
Support new mount options for type:=pcfs mounts: longname, nowin95,
shortname, user=N, group=N, mask=N, and dirmask=N.
Two new amd.conf [global] parameters: nfs_retry_interval_toplvl and
nfs_retransmit_counter_toplvl. They are similar to nfs_retry_interval and
nfs_retransmit_counter, and allow you to set the "timeo" and "retrans" NFS
mount parameters, respectively, but ONLY for Amd's top-level mounts (which
are NFSv2/UDP currently). This is useful because on some systems you may
wish to set these parameters differently than the OS default, so as to
better tune Amd's responsiveness under heavy scheduler loads.

i386-pc-linux-suse10.1 (beta 8)

i386-unknown-netbsdelf3.0 (RELEASE)
i386-unknown-openbsd3.8
powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0
- Bugs fixed:
* one serious memory leak in amfs_generic (caught by Coverity)
* assorted potential (but rare) NULL pointer dereferences (Coverity)
* correctly print nfs_args->addr info (sin_family/port/addr)
* pawd should resolve path repeatedly until no more to do
* use-after-free bug in amfs_lookup_mntfs (Coverity)
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.3
- Bugs fixed:
* amq should de-register properly on exit
* convert all sprintf to safer xsnprintf
* convert all strcat to safer xstrlcat
* convert all strcpy to safer xstrlcpy
* fix three buffer overruns in expand_op (amd/opts.c)
* pawd was trying UDP only, now try TCP if UDP failed
Moved pawd's path-matching functionality into Amd, where it can be done a
lot more efficiently (we no longer need to construct and send the whole
mounted tree, only to match small parts of it). This will lessen the CPU
and network load on systems that use pawd heavily, and also minimize the
chance that we exceed default or hard-coded UDP/TCP RPC packet sizes.
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.2.1
- Bugs fixed:
* properly turn off the attrcache in freebsd and openbsd
* can turn off attrcache on netbsd, but need kernel patch, see
README.attrcache
* pawd goes into an infinite loop on type:=auto
* consistent search for file system mnttab/mount names
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.2
MAJOR BUG FIXES: Synchronize Amd's view of its file systems with the
kernel's NFS client-side DNLC/dcache. Amd changes its view when it reloads
maps (automatically or via "amq -f") because new map entries could be added,
old one removed, or existing ones changed. Amd also changes its view when a
simple entry has expired and was flushed, or was forced out via "amq -u".
Amd was not updating the mtime of its parent directory (often the amd
automount point): this resulted in the kernel re-using cached entries, which
are now possibly stale. Many users had seen this problem in the form of
occasional ESTALE errors, or dangling/broken automounted symlinks,
especially on systems under heavy use. To tell the kernel to ignore (flush)
its old entries for an directory, the mtime of the directory must be updated
(monotonically incremented). Amd was indeed doing so in several places, but
unfortunately it was using time(2) which only provides a one-second
resolution clock: this was fine a decade ago, but not good enough on today's
fast systems; using only a one-second resolution clock meant that on busy
systems that invoke Amd many times a second, some rapidly changing entries
do not get flushed from the kernel, and the kernel thus uses stale entries.
The solution to all of these was to rework the whole clock timer updates to
use gettimeofday(), using a micro-second resolution timer, and to use that
time whenever Amd needs to update an mtime/atime/ctime of any node.
Finally, we now update the mtime in places that were never updated before
(when a whole map is flushed or a single entry times out).
Warning: some OSs, we discovered, are incapable of turning off their
NFS attribute cache entirely. This means that Amd cannot work fully
reliability on these systems, not under heavy load. This is documented in
detail in the README.attrcache file included with this distribution.
Include test-attrcache script to test the NFS attribute cache behavior using
Amd.
Tell syslog not to log automatically to /dev/console; it's unfriendly. If
user really wants to, they can set it in /etc/syslog.conf.

*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1.1
New amd.conf global parameter: forced_unmounts (default to "no"). If set to
"yes," and the client OS supports forced or lazy unmounts, then Amd will
attempt to use them if it gets any of three serious error conditions when
trying to unmount an existing mount point or mount on top of one: EIO,
ESTALE, or EBUSY. This could be useful to recover from serious conditions
such as hardware failure of mounted disks, or NFS servers which are down
permanently, were migrated, or changed their IP address. Only
"type:=toplvl" mounts hung with EBUSY are forcibly unmounted using this
option: this is useful to ensure that a new Amd can mount itself even if a
previous Amd died and left its mount points hung, or to force Amd to
shutdown cleanly, even if some processes (i.e., user shells) have their CWD
on Amd's own mount point. This functionality is available for Linux, BSD44
systems, Solaris, OSF/1, and partially for AIX.
New amd.conf global parameter: truncate_log (default to "no"). If set to
"yes", then Amd will truncate the log file (if it's a regular file) on
startup. This could be useful when conducting extensive testing on Amd maps
(or Amd itself) and you don't want to see log data from a previous run in
the same file.
- minor new ports:
i386-pc-linux-fc4
i386-pc-linux-suse9.3
i386-pc-linuxoldld-deb3.1
- bugs fixed:
* safer mtab handling for Linux (locks + handles /proc/mounts)
* small compile problems on Solaris 6 (rpcvers_t)
* small compile problems on HPUX 10 (h_errno)
* possibly missing definition of INADDR_NONE in wire.c
* extern for sleep(3) may be missing on older gcc systems
* updated nfs_args structure on aix4.
* possible running off end of exported_ap[] array.
* buffer overflow in pawd.
* aix4 clean build.
* use strlcat/snprintf in a few places for safety.
* recover from IP address change of a down NFS server
* don't discard restarted mntfs that was used.
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1
- bugs fixed:
* set timeo/retrans for type:=nfs only if user asked
Also, if you want to know what's new in 6.1 compared to 6.0.x, it's
EVERYTHING below this line, up to "6.0.4." Yes, that's a lot of stuff.
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1-rc7
Remove alloca from am-utils, and rewrite code that used it.
Assorted minor code cleanups.

*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1-rc5
For NetBSD systems, $os used to say "netbsdelf1" or "netbsdelf2." Now it
just says "netbsd."
- minor new ports:
powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0
- bugs fixed:
* silly (but nasty) null pointer dereferencing
* improved fix for '-opts' syntax for resetting map options
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1-rc4
- bugs fixed:
* check for "macosx" in M4 macros properly
* minor memory leaks (thanks to Valgrind)
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1-rc3
Minor fix to configure.in. Reran bootstrap to get a working configure
script that indeed checks for certain Linux nfs/autofs headers.
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1-rc2
New amd.conf global parameter: normalize_slashes (default to "yes"). If set
to "no," then Amd will not condense repeated slashes or remove trailing ones
from strings representing pathnames. This is sometimes useful with SMB
mounts, which often require multiple slash characters in pathnames.
Using a custom version of strlcpy instead of strncpy (but only where it
makes sense), to minimize string overflow changes. Audited all use of
strncpy/strlcpy to ensure safety.
On Apple machines, use "powerpc" for $arch, instead of "Power Macintosh".
Also, use sw_vers to find out more appropriate OS name (macosx) and OS
version (10.3.x) than uname(3) reports.
- minor new ports:
powerpc64-unknown-linux-rhel4
powerpc64-unknown-linux-sles9

- support for executable maps ala Sun automounter. Set map_type=exec in
amd.conf, and map_name to a program/script that takes a key as argv[1],
and returns key-value pair on stdout. See also exec_map_timeout [global]
parameter which defines how many seconds (default 10 sec) Amd will wait
for an executable map program to return output before timing out. See
am-utils manual for full details.
- new amd.conf parameter "nfs_allow_insecure_port". Used to work around
bugs in certain kernels, which cause them to try and talk to amd from
unprivileged ports.
- new amd.conf parameter: localhost_address. Used to override the localhost
(often 127.0.0.1) address Amd uses to connect to for the local NFS server
and RPC server.
- new amd.conf [global] parameter: domain_strip (default "yes"). If set to
"no," Amd won't strip domain names from host names, which is useful if
your Amd maps are served by multiple domains and you want to tell from the
logs which exact host did what.
- new amd.conf [global] parameter: auto_attrcache (default to 0). Sets
Amd's own NFS attribute-cache timeout in seconds. A value of 0 turns off
attribute caching, meaning that Amd will be consulted via a kernel-RPC
each time someone stat's the mount point (which could be abused as a
denial-of-service attack). If you're concerned, set this to something
greater than zero (a value of 1 second is currently recommended).
Warning: if you set this option to any non-zero value, especially a large
value, and you get ESTALE errors on your particular OS, then set this
value back to 0 seconds.
- four new amd.conf [global] parameters, similar to nfs_retry_interval and
nfs_retransmit_counter, which allow you to set the "timeo" and "retrans"
NFS mount parameters, respectively. Now you can set those parameters
globally and separately for UDP vs. TCP, using any of these:
nfs_retry_interval_udp, nfs_retransmit_counter_udp nfs_retry_interval_tcp,
and nfs_retransmit_counter_tcp.
- new amd.conf [global] parameter: preferred_amq_port. Allows you to select
the UDP+TCP port that Amd's amq service will use with the RPC portmapper.
Useful with firewalls and NAT'ed environments.
- new amd.conf option "debug_mtab_file". Allows user to define the mtab
file during debug-mtab mode. The default path is "/tmp/mnttab".
- new function selector xhost(ARG) which will match ARG against the current
host name. This works even if ARG is a CNAME (unlike the host==ARG
selector).
- support restarting the automounter's own mount points (only over NFS,
for now).
- fully support WebNFS as per RFC 2054. It now tries v3/TCP first, falling
back to v2/UDP if this doesn't work. The "webnfs" pseudo-mount options
has been renamed (again) to "public" to match Solaris 2.
- restructured the restarting of already-mounted filesystems, in the process
also fixing a problem with restarting nfsx components.
- support escaped slashes, needed for SMB mounts. Use '\\\/\\\/' in a
string to get a double slash.
- amd -v now prints domain, host, and hostd values: foo, example.com, and
foo.example.com, respectively.
- On Linux, if umount(2) failed with EIO or ESTALE, try the new umount2(2)
system call with MNT_FORCE+MNT_DETACH. This could be quite helpful to
unmounting hung mount points that otherwise cannot be fixed without a
reboot.
- The ping=N mount option now works. N defaults to 30 seconds for all NFS
servers. It can now be set to any value for each server separately.
Setting it to a large value can reduce the amount of NFS_NULL chatter on
your network considerably, especially in large sites. Setting this to -1
will turn off pings for that server (useful in NFS-HA setups). Setting N
to 0 will pick the default ping value in Amd (currently 30 seconds). Note
that if you have multiple Amd entries using the same file server, and each
entry sets a different value of N, then each time Amd mounts a new entry,
the ping value will be re-evaluated (and updated, turned off, or turned
back on as needed). Note that NFS_NULL pings are sent for both UDP and
TCP mounts, because even a hung TCP mount can cause user processes to
hang.
- file system inheritance code restructured, so it's no longer a pseudo file
system, but actually integrated into Amd (as it should have been).
- for type:=program, the "umount" program doesn't have to be defined; it'll
default to "unmount ${fs}".
- "amd -v" now prints the distribution name if it's known (e.g., rh9, fc3,
suse8, etc.).
- bugs fixed:
* various memory management problems (leaks, etc)
* fixed nfsx support
* fixed a race involving late replies to network queries which
arrive after the file system has already been mounted
* recognize pcfs_args_t fields in FreeBSD 5
* recognize other mount types in pawd: host, linkx, and nfsx
* allow exactly one of umount and unmount in type:=program
* race condition between calls to mntctl() on AIX
* plock/mlockall wasn't inherited by fork(); moved after
daemonizing.
* fix inconsistency between Socket and TLI RPC timeouts.
* don't warn when couldn't rmdir a dir with a readonly ancestor.
* avoid hangs of amd in ctl-amd (must chdir to /)
* workaround occasional daemonizing problems (parent won't die)
* don't hang on exit if debug_options=mtab was used
* utimeout=N mount option works with non-nfs types (ufs, pcfs, etc.)
* SEGV (null pointer deref) in type:=program and type:=cachefs
* unmount_on_exit of type:=program caused amd to hang
* match amd2ldif output with ldap.schema
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1b4
- minor new ports:
i686-apple-darwin6.6
- speed up the recovery of inherited (restarted) filesystems by using the
proper waiting channels
- added support for mounting webnfs filesystems, see entry below. It doesn't
do any probing currently, so it will default to v2/UDP unless another
version and/or protocol are explicitly specified.
- pseudo-mount option "ignore_portmapper" renamed to "webnfs"
- bugs fixed:
* properly time out autofs filesystems on Linux
* link mounts with relative targets weren't working on autofs
* the link side of the nfsl file system wasn't working on autofs
* umount code was accidentally turning all symlinks into directories
during attempted umounts, causing stale filehandles
* various minor build fixes for "impossible" configurations
* prevent ldap code from dereferencing a null pointer
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1b3
- new amd.conf option autofs_use_lofs, set by default to "yes". "yes" means
using in-place mounts (lofs, bind mounts, etc.), thus utilizing one of
Autofs's main advantages. "no" means using symlinks instead, which has
the "/bin/pwd" problem and certain efficiency issues on Solaris 2.6+ and
is also not supported on Solaris Autofs v1 and derivatives; however, the
autofs code that uses symlinks is simpler and more thoroughly tested.
- new amd.conf option map_default (can be used in [global] and overwritten
in the per-map section). This will overwrite the /defaults entry of the
map itself, to allow people to set defaults in amd.conf (useful when you
cannot control your amd maps, or you'd rather not modify them globally).
- for type:=program, you can use either unmount:=XXX or umount:=XXX (but not
both). This new 'unmount' name is an alias for convenience.
- fixed the "multiple matching sub-entries in a map entry" semantics to try
mounting those sub-entries one by one, until either one succeeds or all
fail. The old semantics of trying to mount everything in parallel and use
the one that mounted fastest hasn't worked in a long time; in fact, 6.0
currently simply ignores all but the first matching sub-entry.
- made amd fail much faster (instantly, in fact) if the remote server
doesn't have a functional portmapper or NFS service. Also reduced the
total timeout to 3 seconds for a completely downed server.
- new pseudo-mount option "ignore_portmapper"; not very useful currently,
will make more sense when we also accept hard-coded ports for mountd and
nfsd.
- amd will no longer query the portmapper for all possible NFS versions and
protocols if the user requested to use specific ones.
- increased the major number for the library, so that 6.0 and 6.1 can't
share libraries anymore.
- support tcpd/libwrap tcpwrappers. If your system supports libwrap, then
you can use /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to control remote Amq
access to Amd. The new amd.conf parameter use_tcpwrappers is set to "yes"
by default.
- support NULL entries in Hesiod maps, if they start with a ".".
- code reorganization
- documentation cleanup, corrections, and general updates. Better
references to all man pages. Support newer texi2html. Proper building of
DVI and PSI files. Allow building of am-utils manual in one long Web
page.
- minor new ports:
ia64-unknown-linux-rh2.1AS (Red Hat Itanium Advanced Server)
i386-unknown-freebsd5.0 (5.0-RELEASE)
sparc64-unknown-linux-suse7.3
i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6.1
i386-unknown-openbsd3.3
i386-pc-solaris2.9
- bugs fixed:
* autofs mode on Linux was segfaulting on a silly error (and noone
complained, which proves that I'm probably the only one testing
these beta releases, tsk tsk).
* fixed handling of host entries over autofs.
* fixed handling of nfsl entries over autofs.
* the matching in find_mntfs() was causing problems for inherited
filesystems, so make an exception for them. Tighten the
matching even more, to take into account the f/s type as well.
* recognize xlatecookie mnttab option on netbsd
* document Solaris lex bug (use flex)
* document AIX 5.x NFS bug (need patch)
* document Solaris 8 autofs version change (need to fix system
header file)
* ensure lex doesn't run out of output slots
* support GNU flex-2.5.31+
* force version.texi to be rebuilt unconditionally
* mk-amd-map open db file exclusively (security)
* turn off maintainer-only rules in distros
* don't core dump if log_file is NULL (Solaris)
* don't include malloc.h if stdlib.h exists
* recognize file system failures (EIO) upon reading file maps
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1b2
- new mount flag "softlookup", which determines how amd will respond to
lookups of NFS shares already mounted (return a valid symlink or return
EIO). The default, if "softlookup" is not specified, depends on whether the
mount is "soft" or "hard".
- return EIO instead of ENOENT if amd thinks the server is down; this allows
well-written applications to sleep and retry the operation.
- minor new ports:
i386-apple-darwin6.0
i386-pc-linux-rh8.0
ia64-unknown-linux-rh2.1AW
sparc-sun-solaris2.9
- automatic support for loop mounts on Linux (deprecates the "loop" mount
option)
- new amd.conf parameter ldap_proto_version (default 2) for setting the LDAP
protocol version to use.
- bugs fixed:
* redundancy mode (multiple servers for the same share) wasn't working
* non-autofs mode had some rather nasty hangs on downed file servers
* double-free'ing problem in assign_error_mntfs and free_continuation
* free'ing non-malloc'ed memory in amfs_auto_mount
* late server ping replies were not ignored
* amfs_auto_lookup_mntfs wasn't propagating errors up to callers
* autofs-v4 on Solaris 9 works
* handle std{in,out,err} correctly when releasing controlling tty
(for real this time)
* don't cast pointers between enum_t and u_long, it doesn't work on
64-bit big-endian platforms
* fix compile problem with mlockall() on Darwin
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1b1
- Major Autofs work
Partial support for Sun Autofs v1
Documented known problems with Sun Autofs v1 (possible deadlocks)
Fixes for Sun Autofs v2/v3

- Minor new ports:
powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
i386-unknown-netbsd1.6A
- Work around IBM's NFSv3 ABI change in aix4.3
- trivial regression test suite started: run "make check" on a built
am-utils to execute tests. Currently only one test which checks to see if
"amd -v" executes correctly.
- new command line option "amd -A arch" to overwrite the value of $arch.
- bugs fixed:
* Linux loop mounts of ISO images
* assorted LDAP fixes
* strerror not found on some systems
* small fixes for hpux9 and aix43
* exclude ldap/hesiod support unless both libraries+headers exist
* fully support "xlatecookie" mount option
* security: if -D noamq option, don't listen on socket.
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.1a5:
- browsable_dirs support for Solaris autofs, *without* mount storms!
- new amd.conf global parameter: map_reload_interval (default 1 hour).
Determines how often Amd checks to see if maps have changed at the source
(and then reloading only those that have changed).
- "amd -v" now lists bug-reporting address.
- assorted code cleanups and porting to use latest versions of GNU
Autotools.
- opts:=loop works for type:=cdfs, for mounting ISO-9660 files on Linux.
- bugs fixed:
* fixed sublink support in Linux autofs (broken in a4)
* hlfsd takes uid 0's home from root's passwd entry instead of
defaulting to '/'
* (not really our bug) Linux ignores the microseconds field in
mtime, so hlfsd and amd need to increment the seconds field all
the time to prevent symlink caching
* generic map parsing bug which was rejecting a numerical mount
option if it was the last option in the string.
* file descriptor leak in Linux autofs.
* "nolock" is an NFS mount option, not a generic one.
* use mlockall(2) on systems that have it, for plock=yes. Now
pinning Amd's pages in memory works on Linux.
* ctl-amd/ctl-hlfsd correctly refer to @sysconfdir@ for alternate
location of configuration files.

(some preparations for Compaq Tru64)
- new variables ${uid} and ${gid}, return the numeric UID/GID of the user
(not root) who invokes an amd pathname. Similar to what hlfsd does.
- automake now uses automatic dependency tracking
- new mount options: optionstr, noexec, nomnttab
- maps of type:=auto are now browsable (using map option "browsable")

reduce race conditions upon rapid umount/mount sequences
use vsnprintf, more secure than vsprintf
more assorted and smaller bugs
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0.2:
- safe map reloads: when a map needs to be reloaded, it is reloaded into a
temporary copy first. Only if the reload was completely successful, Amd
discards the old map and uses the new one. Otherwise Amd continues to use
the old maps. This should help a lot with transient NIS problems.
- amq -f now also forces a (safe) map reload, but only if the timestamp on
the maps was updated.
- two new selector variables: ${vendor} and ${full_os}, which are the same
as the output seen in "amd -v".
- documentation fixes and updates
- updated or minor new ports:
i386-unknown-freebsdelf3.3
- support 'ignore' flags (automntfs) in bsdi-4.1
- bugs fixed:
expn.pl uses correct sockaddr_in() not, pack()
make sure configure --enable-*args take an argument
don't busy-loop trying to rebind to ldap servers

- new options addopt:=ARG will "smartly" add and override options specified
in opts:=
- new amd.conf options:
pid_file: specifies the file to store the PID
hesiod_base: specifies the base for the Hesiod service
unmount_on_exit: if 'yes' will attempt to unmount all file systems
when amd exits.
- amd.conf file is parsed after all other command line options. If no
options specified at all, then use /etc/amd.conf by default.
- some variables' values are now compared case-insensitive as per specs,
such as host names, domain names, and more.
- NIS service uses a new isup() function to detect if the service is up
before using it. Used to ensure amd doesn't clear the existing maps before
reloading them, unless the remote info service is working.
- new cdfs mount options: rrip, noversion, defperm, nodefperm (OSF)
- support efs/xfs separately on irix
- new -D info trace option to turn on info specific debugging, such as
RES_DEBUG for hesiod services.
- document updates and fixes
- new file MIRRORS lists official mirror sites (also in am-utils home page)
- new file BUGS lists known amd/OS bugs
- source restructuring: rename all Amd file-systems' sources to amfs_ARG.c
such that it matches the type:=ARG as well. Free names afs/dfs for Andrew
F/S and Distributed F/S.
- checkpoint config.guess several times during the long configure, so that
if it is aborted midway, the bulk of the features discovered will be re-read
from the config.cache file.
- more systems support shared libraries (libtool 1.2)
- using automake 1.3 + more fixes
- bugs fixed:
use dynamic buffer for list of interfaces, not fixed size
output of amd -H duplicated if >2 interfaces
-D mem for hlfsd not on by default (so it will daemonize)
linux looks for ext2fs before ufs
CDFS looks for 'isofs' mount type as well
compile on Solaris 2.6 with /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
various additional fixes which gcc 2.8.x reported
print syslog help string based on what's supported
correctly ignore loopback interface on SunOS 3.x
don't use -lucb for strcasecmp
hlfsd's dump file securely written in /usr/tmp/hlfsd.dump.XXXXXX
inherit NFS V.3 mounts correctly
write pid file securely
*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a15:
- new ports:
alpha-unknown-linux-gnu: works
i386-unknown-netbsd1.3: fully working
*-sun-sunos3: compiles, not tested
- updated ports:
m68k-next-nextstep3: cleaner compile, works.
- new file system type nfsl (NFS Link). Uses nfs if file system is remote,
and link if it is local (based on if $rhost equals the host name).
- support for Solaris cachefs. Requires setting fs, rfs, and a new variable
cachedir. See documentation for explanation, examples, and caveats.
- support negated selector functions such as !exists(/foo/bar)
- wire, network, netnumber, in_network() selectors now match against all
locally attached networks (by either name or number), not just the first two
interfaces.
- new program pawd (and man page for it) --- Print Automounter Working
Directory, to print the proper pathname of the cwd or any other pathname,
adjusted for automounter paths, while avoiding mount points.
- two new switches to amq: -U will force using UDP only; -T will force using
only TCP to communicate with amd. If neither (or both) are specified, amq
will try TCP first, and if that failed, will try UDP.
- support syslog facilities, using "amd -l syslog:facility". Old behavior
when using only -l syslog is to use the LOG_DAEMON facility.
- you may specify browsable_dirs=full, to get a listing of all entries
(other than /default), including those with '*' wildcard and '/'
characters.
- amd -D trace now also includes as much of struct nfs_args as can be
displayed. Useful in figuring out what the kernel really gets during a
mount(2), as opposed to what the /etc/mnttab file says. -D trace also
traces the xdr_* functions.
- support for versions of shared libamu version. upped version from 0.0.0
to 1.0.0. each am-utils release that will change the library will also
update its version.
- amd/ops_TEMPLATE.c: a new template file for those brave enough to try and
implement a new amd file system. Includes comments and other info useful
for developers.
- if localconfig.h exists in the current directory during the run of
configure, it is included in all am-utils sources. This allows courageous
developers to make certain modifications during compilations, and especially
turn off undesired features (not very recommended).
- documentation types and updates for all new features, ports, etc.
- bugs fixed:
support NFS mount options grpid and maxgrps
nextstep: set NFS success code to 0 (NFS_OK), not 1 (EPERM)
bsdi2: set NFS success code to 0 (NFS_OK), not 1 (EPERM)
set NFS V.3 mount table names to "nfs" if vers/proto exist
use mkstemp() if possible (more secure)
ctl-amd looks for amd.conf in ${prefix}/etc after /etc
hpux: use "ignore" mount table type
openbsd2.2: turn off "noconn" mount option, so only connected used
fixed memory leak in hlfsd (don't setpwent after endpwent)
all NFS3 systems should have proto/vers mount/amd options
DEBUG_MEM compiles and prints something more useful
