DCE authentication/DFS fileset patch (version 1.0) for netatalk 1.4b2
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch adds support for DCE authentication and DFS filesets to
netatalk 1.4b2. To apply the patch, first acquire the netatalk
distribution, and then execute the commands:

     cd /path/to/netatalk-1.4b2
     patch -p1 -d . < /path/to/netatalk-1.4b2-dce-1.0.diff


Once you've applied the patch, please refer to the README.DCEDFS file
created in the netatalk directory for further installation instructions.


Changes
-------

1.0 - Improved flserver load balancing and exception handling. Previous
      versions of this patch would only communicate with the first
      flserver found, and die horribly on any errors. Now, requests are
      distributed over all available flservers, and flserver errors are
      handled more gracefully.

    - Added support for longer passwords. Netatalk normally truncates
      passwords to 8 characters. DCE, of course, can handle much longer
      passwords, and with the appropriate UAM (for example, the Digital
      VMS UAM), a Macintosh client can send them.
 

0.8 - Fixed incorrect assumption that the object UUID of the flserver was
      constant. The UUID is now determined at runtime.

    - Added code to report correct access permissions on a directory in
      DFS.


0.5 - First publicly released version.


Feedback/Availability

Please report problems/requests to <henson@acm.org>. If you use this patch,
I'd like to hear from you. If you could send me a short email describing
how you use DCE at you site, I'd really appreciate it.
