There are a few new +features (mostly matching similar enhancements in the 6.1 series), some bug +fixes, performance improvements, etc. You can download am-utils-6.2a2 as +well as other releases from: + + http://www.am-utils.org/ + +*** Notes specific to am-utils version 6.2a2 + +New amd.conf global parameter: nfs_allow_any_interface. By default it is +set to 'no' which means that Amd accepts local NFS packets only from +127.0.0.1. If set to 'yes' then Amd will accept local NFS packets from any +local interface; this is useful on hosts that may have multiple interfaces +where the system is forced to send all outgoing packets (even those bound to +the same host) via an address other than 127.0.0.1. + +Add support for specifying the host to match in the mount selectors netgrp +and netgrpd. Now one can use either netgrp() or +netgrp(,). + +Support new mount options for type:=pcfs mounts: longname, nowin95, +shortname, user=N, group=N, mask=N, and dirmask=N. + +Two new amd.conf [global] parameters: nfs_retry_interval_toplvl and +nfs_retransmit_counter_toplvl. They are similar to nfs_retry_interval and +nfs_retransmit_counter, and allow you to set the "timeo" and "retrans" NFS +mount parameters, respectively, but ONLY for Amd's top-level mounts (which +are NFSv2/UDP currently). This is useful because on some systems you may +wish to set these parameters differently than the OS default, so as to +better tune Amd's responsiveness under heavy scheduler loads. + +- minor new ports: + i386-pc-linux-fc5 (Fedora Core 5) + i386-pc-linux-suse10.1 (beta 8) + i386-unknown-freebsd6.0 (RELEASE) + i386-unknown-freebsd6.1 (RELEASE) + i386-unknown-netbsdelf2.1 + i386-unknown-netbsdelf3.0 (RELEASE) + i386-unknown-openbsd3.8 + i386-unknown-openbsd3.9 + powerpc-apple-darwin8.5.0 + powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0 + +- Bugs fixed: + * one serious memory leak in amfs_generic (caught by Coverity) + * assorted potential (but rare) NULL pointer dereferences (Coverity) + * correctly print nfs_args->addr info (sin_family/port/addr) + * pawd should resolve path repeatedly until no more to do + * handle old-style filehandles correctly (for mount points longer + than 28 chars) + * use-after-free bug in amfs_lookup_mntfs (Coverity) + * don't turn off attribute cache for regular NFS mounts (improves + performance) + * detect G/DBM support via gdbm_compat library (Debian) + * detect NDBM support in libc (FreeBSD 6) + +Cheers, +Erez and the am-utils team. -- 2.43.0
