I have uploaded what I expect to be the final pre-1.3.71 build
of OpenAFS for Windows. The reason for the delay is the problem
with 1.3.70 on AIX. (see openafs-info discussion).
Daily builds can be found at:
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS/

Since 1.3.70:
* A new Windows authorization group "AFS Client Admins" is now
created and populated with the members of the "Administrators"
group. The group is used to determine which accounts on the
machine may be used to modify the AFS Client Configuration via
the UI and command line tools. afs_config.exe, fs.exe,
* Modify the WinLogon Logoff Event Handler to query NT4 domain
controllers for the remote profile path if Active Directory
services are not available.
* 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.
Please test these builds.
Thanks.
