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 + uninit_mntfs(): free() mf_private *after* it is used + browsable_readdir: fewer bytes sent back to kernel for each chunk + mount_toplvl: don't free() an automatic variable! + amd should chdir() to / before daemonzing (for core dumps etc) + cdfs should be called 'cdfs' not whatever the mnttab type is + amd -v: don't print "FS:" list twice when >=2 net interfaces + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a14: + +- updated ports: + powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0: NFS V.3 works + +- minor new ports: + sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3C + m68k-sun-sunos4.1.1 (sun3) + mips-sgi-irix5.2 + +- new option to amd, -O ARG, will override the operating systems *name* with +ARG. Corrected documentation for amd -o ARG --- it overrides the operating +system *version* and not the name as the docs incorrectly stated. + +- logging now behave more like syslog: will not print repeated strings, but +rather a count such as "last message repeated N times". (N will not exceed +100.) + +- restructured the code which deals with the numerous possible fields and +flags that are set in struct nfs_args. That code was moved to libamu as +the functions compute_nfs_args() and compute_automounter_nfs_args(). + +- bugs fixed: + mnttab name ufs/cdfs/pcfs/etc filesystems corrected + use pmap_ping for amq (a must for secure portmappers, bsdi2/3) + test for xfs (irix) as a disk-based filesystem + set correct nfs_prot headers for Solaris 2.5 + removed stale code from lostaltmail.in + lostaltmail will look for conf file in multiple locations + assorted documentation corrections + amq does not print "get_secure_amd_client" if run as root + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a13: + +- new in_network(ARG) nomadic selector, true if ARG is the name (or number) +of any of this host's network interfaces. + +- removed variables primnetname, primnetnum, subsnetname, and subsnetnum. +(Kept "wire" and its alias "network", and "netnumber".) + +- include am-utils.dvi and am-utils.ps in distribution. + +- hlfsd supports new option -P ARG, for reading password map off of file +ARG.

A matching new option for amq: +-P prognum, will use an alternate program number to contact. + +- man pages: + amd.conf.5 new + mk-amd-map.8 new + amd.8 updated + amq.8 updated + (other man pages required minor updates) + +- shared libraries support expanded. Using GNU libtool-1.0. You can build +a shared version of libamu, and link with it accordingly, by specifying +--enable-shared to configure. Default is --enable-static --disable-shared, +and you can mix and match. See "INSTALL" file for listing of systems on +which shared libraries seem to build and work fine. + +- new option: amq -p, will return the PID of the running amd (local or +remote). Uses a new RPC message. Useful especially in "ctl-amd stop". + +- new configure script options --enable-ldflags, for specifying -L flags. +The older --enable-libs is to be used only for -l options. + +- two new LDAP map options for amd.conf: ldap_cache_seconds and +ldap_cache_maxmem. + +- new script, am-eject from Debian linux's version of amd-upl102. + +- additional passwd map support using var[0-3], from Debian folks. + +- hesiod code cleanup. works for hesiod 1.3 as well as 3.0. + +- removed defunct -h option from amd. + +- started using automake-1.2. This fixed several bugs that caused some +versions of yacc/lex and non-GNU make to fail. + +- bug fixes: + amd/hlfsd mounts should be hidden from df(1) + use "noconn" option for nfs mounts (multi-homed hosts) + don't use connected sockets on linux before 1.3.10 (from Debian) + better checks for [gn]dbm + forbid excessive retries after timeouts (from Debian) + readdir(): don't skip over map entries with prefix, and include it + more assorted linux fixes from Debian folks + lofs mount on svr4 was broken + find default value of $karch from uname() not $arch + hlfsd failed to mount itself on some little-endians + + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a8: + +- new ports: + i386-unknown-netbsd1.2.1: configures/compiles (with NFS V.3), works, + but some OS stability problems exist. + +- updated ports: + hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.01: + now tested and working + rs6000-ibm-aix3.2 and rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5: + now tested and working + +- fixed browsable directories (readdir) code. + +- better methods to find amd/hlfsd pid to kill in ctl-{amd,hlfsd} + +- "ignore/auto" mount types fixed for irix, sunos, and others, so "df" does not +show amd mounts by default (but GNU df -a does). + +- each time amd is built, a new "build" version is incremented. See amd -v. + +- man page for fsinfo added + +- empty fillers for new file (bsd44) systems: nullfs, unionfs, umapfs. + +- when amd is not running, or portmapper is down, make amq timeout faster (5 +sec) than system default, usually 4-5 minutes. + +- bug fixes: + hlfsd mount got "protocol not supported" + first regular map in amd.conf didn't inherit global options + make "bad" versions of lex still work with amd/conf_parse.l + check for 'nodev' option, not 'nondev' + typo in "ro" option, and fillers to ac{reg,dir}{min,max} and others + amd.conf parsing done before switching default log/debug options + allow doubly-quoted values in amd.conf + hesiod-reload code cleanup + +- assorted code cleanup + + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a7: + +- new ports: + i386-unknown-freebsd3.0: + fully functional with NFS V.3 + sparc-sun-solaris2.3: + fully functional (should work for 2.4) + sparc-unknown-netbsd1.2E: + configures/compiles (with NFS V.3), untested + +- updated ports: + i386-pc-bsdi3.0: + NFS V.3 works + look for hesiod in libc + mips-sgi-irix5.3: + fully functional with NFS V.3 + +- LDAP support!

OSF used very different names for these, +and they conflicted with am-utils'. The only solution was to more or less +conform to OSF4's naming, and change all the others. + +- ctl-amd script: + improved to look for amd.conf in $prefix/etc and /etc + better methods for finding the pid of amd to kill + +- autoconf support for LDAP. amd/info_ldap.c needs to be written. + +- wire-test also reports the local IP address.

Reduces binary +sizes by 20-30%. This is the first step towards loadable modules, as many +changes had to be done to be able to compile and use PIC code. This is code +that obviously needs to be generalized to be able to build shared libraries +on many other platforms. It was only tested on Solaris 5.5.1. + +- the file INSTALL contains the latest compatibility table of which +platforms am-utils configures, compiles and runs on. + +- Trimmed down the size of the configure script. Some tests that are not +used anywhere were removed. + + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a2: + +- New ports (configures and compiles correctly, not tested): + + i386-pc-bsdi2.1 + hppa1.1-hp-hpux9.01 + hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 + +- new configure options: + + --enable-cppflags[=ARG] + configure/compile with ARG (-I) preprocessor flags + --enable-libs[=ARG] + configure/compile with ARG (-L/-l) library flags + +- filesystem, mount table entries, and mount type tests can now look in +/lib/modules and /proc/filesystems for statically/dyadically loadable kernel +modules (linux) + +- prefer vfat over msdos/pc/etc filesystem for PCFS. + +- moved all fixed headers to include/am_defs. Left only #define/#undef +entries in aux/acconfig.h. + +- make more sense of systems that have full, partial, or no NFS protocol +headers. + +- minor fixes for NetBSD (untested platform). + +- hesiod map fixed. + +- buildall -D: new option to run even stricter developer options. + +- lots of other bugs fixed (see ChangeLog). + + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.0a1: + +I have it configure and build correctly for the following systems: + + i386-pc-solaris2.5.1 + i386-unknown-freebsd2.1.0 + mips-sgi-irix6.2 + sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 + sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3 + +Amq, wire-test, and "amd -v" work on all of the above.
