Today's Daily Builds

I have uploaded new daily builds to their usual location:

The list of changes since 1.3.74 include:

   * The afs_config.exe submounts dialog had two errors.
     First, attempts to remove entries failed because the registry
     key was being opened without KEY_WRITE privileges.
     Second, when editing a submount entry, changing the name
     would add a new key and leave the original one in place.
     Now the original submount will be removed if its name is
     changed.

   * In recent months there have been several incidents in which
     users have experienced problems starting or accessing
     afsd_service.exe and after significant effort has been spent
     it has turned out that they have two versions of AFS on the
     machine or an inconsistent set of DLLs.

     Code has now been added to afsd_service.exe which will walk
     the list of modules loaded by afsd_service.exe and validate
     that the version of the AFS DLLs matches the version of the
     afsd_service.exe executable.  If they do not match the service
     will not start.

   * When Freelance mode is enabled and there is no registry
     key HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance, afsd_service.exe
     will attempt to import the afs_freelance.ini file contents.
     If the file does not exist, it was creating a dummy file
     with a r/o and r/w entry for the default cell and then
     importing those values.

     This process has been changed.  The temporary file is no
     longer created.   Also, both the OpenAFS Client install
     directory as well as %WINDIR% are checked for previous
     afs_freelance.ini files.

   * Added support for VL_GetEntryByNameN().  Still need to add
     support for VL_GetEntryByNameU() for multi-homed support.

   * Fix a deadlock situation in afscreds.exe when canceling an
     auto-generated Obtain Tokens dialog
