This functionality +can be restored by supplying the "-crossrealm" flag to the kaserver. +However, note that doing so is considered a significant security risk. + +* New platform support: RedHat Linux 9.0, Solaris 9 12/02, server only + support for Tru64 5.1. + +All systems: + +- rxkad 2b will now do krb4/krb5 principal name translation. + +- Always include errno.h instead of declaring "extern int errno", for + compatability with modern glibc. + +- Fix race conditions in fileserver responsible for various fileserver + crashes. + +- Fix a deadlock condition in the fileserver that could occur at shutdown + time. + +- Fix fileserver logging to be more verbose and to specify ports in the + correct byte order. + +- Rewrite of cell handling code, to allow for more consistant behavior + across reboots. This also allows clients to have an empty CellServDB + as long as AFSDB support is enabled and ThisCell has AFSDB records. + +- Corrected integer overflow in xdrmem_getbytes() routine in our xdr + implementation, even thought it's unused. + +Solaris: + +- Autoconf glue added to correctly build on Solaris 9 12/02, which replaced + the fs_rlink member of a struct fs with with fs_rolled. + +- Kernel module now no longer uses the depricated newproc() function, + instead using thread_create to spawn a kernel thread. + +- Repaired Solaris x86 support. + +Linux: + +- Notice NETUNREACH errors and timeout attempts to access AFS quickly + when we're not on the network. + +- rxk listener shutdown code rewritten to no longer need sys_kill. + +- Search for linux kernel headers in both /usr/src/linux-2.4 and + /usr/src/linux at build time. + +MacOS X: + +- Recognize MacOS X 10.2.3, 10.2.4, and 10.2.5 as ppc_darwin_60 at + build time. + +AIX: + +- Make the salvager work on namei fileserver partitions. + +Tru64: + +- Allow server binaries to be built on Tru64 5.1. No client support yet. -- 2.39.5
