Re: No more feature changes expected before 1.3.70; future release plans

We are on track for a Tuesday release of 1.3.70.
New daily builds have been uploaded to their usual place:

  /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/

These builds fix some minor bugs and provide two functional changes
due to feedback from the one person who I know has looked at the
recent builds. 

   1. the new winlogon logoff event handler will no longer destroy the
      user's tokens on logoff if the profile was loaded from an AFS
      volume.  Unfortunately the logoff event is delivered prior to the
      write back of the profile and there is no way to know how long the
      write back will take.  It might be seconds or minutes.
   2. A late contribution of SMB/CIFS Remote Administration Protocol
      code has been incorporated.  For those who are unfamiliar, RAP
      provides SMB clients the ability to enumerate the shares exported
      by an SMB server and obtain extended information about the server
      and its shares.  This protocol is used extensively by the Windows
      Explorer and without support for RAP the Explorer performs quite
      poorly when accessing AFS volumes via UNC paths. 

I strongly encourage everyone to test today's builds in their 
environments and think hard about their upgrade plans.  The release is 
on Tuesday unless something major turns up in the next couple of days.
