1.3.71 will be forthcoming

Sorry folks, since the release of 1.3.70 several problems have been 
identified and corrected in the release.  The most important one
is a failure of the cm_Daemon() thread to perform its job.  This had
an adverse effect on the handling of callbacks, token management,
and much more.   All of the other bugs are superficial but the big
one is big enough.  I have uploaded 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 apologize that this problem was not diagnosed prior to the 1.3.70
release.  I really wanted that to be the last one for the year.

Please test these builds.  A release will take place before the end
of the week.

Changes since 1.3.70:

   * Fix aklog.exe to not add the AFS ID to the username

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

   * The cm_Daemon thread is used to perform checks for
     down servers, up servers, volumes, callback expirations,
     lock maintenance and token expiration.  Due to a gaff in
     larger integer division the thread never performed any
     work.  Instead the current time computation would always
     be less then the trigger times.  This had an adverse affect
     on the client's ability to maintain communication with servers,
     keep volumes up to date, and flush user tokens and acls
     when they have expired. This was broken when the 1.3 branch
     was modified to support VC7 which no longer included
     largeint.lib

   * An initialization problem with the Freelance code was
     detected while fixing the callbackRequest.  The cm_rootSCachep
     object is obtained during afsd_InitDaemons() but the callback
     information is incomplete.  The callback information will not
     be obtained until cm_MergeStatus is called from within
     cm_GetCallback.  Unfortunately, cm_SyncOp did not properly
     test for the conditions under which the callback information
     must be obtained.

   * Reports have been filed indicating that callbacks were
     being lost.  An examination of the code indicated that the
     cm_server_t objects were not being properly reference
     counted by the cm_scache_t and cm_callbackRequest_t objects.
     In particular, the cm_server_t objects may have been freed
     from beneath the cm_conn_t objects.

     All of the reference counting is now done via the functions:
         cm_GetServer
         cm_GetServerNoLock
         cm_PutServer
         cm_PutServerNoLock
     this improves the ability to track the referrals.

     Each cm_BeginCallbackGranting Call now allocates a reference
     to the cm_server_t.  The cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall either
     frees the reference or transfers it to the cm_scache_t
     cbServerp field.  These are then appropriately tracked
     through the cm_Analyze call.

   * Ensure that the dnlc hash table is the same size as the
     dir name hash table (as per original author's note).
     Increase the dnlc CM_AFSNCNAMESIZE to a multiple of 8
     for compatibility with 64-bit systems.

   * fix smb_ApplyV3DirListPatches to properly apply the hidden
      attribute to dotfiles when the infoLevel < 0x101 and
      cm_SyncOp has failed.

   * Fix the Freelance registry initialization code.  There
     was a possibility that some systems could end up with
     garbage in the registry during a clean install.
