1 AM-UTILS-6.0 TASKS TODO 2 3Please volunteer to do any of the following: 4 5- complete testing of untested platforms in INSTALL file 6 ncr2 7 sunos 3.5 8 9- autofs support: see README.autofs for details. [done in 6.1] 10 11- deal with everything that has XXX on it in the sources 12- documentation update ("XXX: FILL IN" sections). 13 14- hlfsd should be able to not use /var/alt_mail, but send code 75 back to 15 sendmail (telling it to re-queue the mail and retry later). 16 17- compatibility with Sun's automount maps? 18 should be easier via the amd.conf file to specify type of map 19 perhaps done at the same time autofs support is done. 20 21- convert to using my own rpcgen .x files for amq/amq/nfs (v2 and v3) 22 23- support multiple "fail-over read-only" NFS mounts in Solaris 2.6+. 24 25- use packaging info for various OSs (such as RPM, Redhat Package Manager) 26 27- $mindelay and $maxdelay in milliseconds 28 29- multiple nfsl should be matched if one matched and nfs mount failed. fall 30 through. 31- fall through syntax? opts:=nofail,fallthrough? 32 33- random nfs rhost:={srv1, srv2, srv3} 34 35- nfslx, same as nfsl, but using linkx 36 37- find out why this sometimes works and sometimes not: 38 mcl -rhost:=minetta host!=${rhost};type:=nfs host==${rhost} 39 40- loadable info_*, amfs_*, and ops_* modules (lazy evaluation). 41 42- hlfsd for ~root/.mailspool (getpwnam("root")) 43- hlfsd should daemonize even if -DDEBUG, then use -D nofork 44 45- fixmount should use generic code from transp/transp_{tli,sockets}.c 46 47- report netbsd/openbsd bugs in BUGS file 48 49- reverse notion of -F and other cmd-line options, so they override the 50amd.conf file (right now amd.conf overrides cmd-line options). 51 52- y2k compliance. 53 54- an un/install script for binaries 55 56- update README 57 58- add am-utils URL and COPYRIGHT to all distributed scripts and sources and 59 programs etc. also to amq -v output. 60 61- ion: browsable_dirs only works for nis if in [global] broken if it is file 62 maps. 63 64- all if statements should have an else clause because of Ultrix's /bin/sh. 65 66- look for obsolete AM_* macros and use newer AC_* ones 67- use 3rd arg to AC_CHECK_TYPE (headers) 68 69- FreeBSD 3.1 doesn't have SYMTTL flag, so the mtime of the hlfsd symlink is 70 always new. This breaks hlfsd on FreeBSD 3.1, b/c the acregmin/max code 71 depends on the time that the symlink was created. Solution: best is to 72 support NOAC in the FreeBSD kernel, otherwise hlfsd will have to know not 73 to turn on this code in hlfsd/stubs.c: 74 75 if (++slinkfattr.na_mtime.nt_useconds == 0) 76 ++slinkfattr.na_mtime.nt_seconds; 77 78- support nqnfs as per Jeffrey C Honig <jch@BSDI.COM>: "Besides having 79 NFSMNT_NQNFS set when you try to do the mount, NQNFS requires that you do 80 the nfssvc() call to create an nqnfs client daemon. I can't see any 81 obvious way to check if the server supports NQNFS." 82 83- browsable 'auto' style maps. 84 85- mention signals in amd man page 86 87- ALLOWED_MOUNT_TIME of 40 seconds is way too long! 88- need option to turn off pings of portmapper before trying a mount 89 90- type:=program should not require umount command. can use default 91 umount(). it works for smbmount/umount. 92 93- document var[0-7] variables/selectors 94 95- need a way to export a nfs-mount point after it is being mounted (jukebox 96 mounts). can do this with type:=program. 97 98- support port=n, for machines that use NFS on a different port 99 100- support WebNFS (cf. Solaris mount_nfs(1M) -o public) 101 102- nfsl may be buggy when fs:= is specified explicitly (lockup?) 103 104- detecting down'ed hosts faster: use default portmap TTL variables? 105 106- entries w/ $key in /defaults, see "defaults" instead of the actual 107 entry. [fixed in 6.1] 108 109- y2k: amq /home (mounted time uses YY instead of YYYY) 110 111- new amd.conf option to disable amq listener altogether (security) 112 113- new amd.conf option dynamic_system_params to recompute osver, karch, 114 etc. from uname() dynamically. 115 116- change uid (gid?) of hlfsd symlink each time, to circumvent symlink cache 117 on openbsd. 118 119- solaris 8 doesn't pick up hsfs/pcfs/etc *_args structures and mount flags 120 121- support opts:=loop for linux loopback mounts 122 123- map reloading interval timer (do_mapc_reload = clocktime() + ONE_HOUR); 124 right now it's fixed to 3600 seconds. 125 126- avoid having to compile ops_nfs3.o 127
