3			  AM-UTILS-6.0 TASKS TODO
4
5Please volunteer to do any of the following:
6
7- complete testing of untested platforms in INSTALL file
8	ncr2
9	sunos 3.5
10
11- autofs support: see README.autofs for details.
12	needs to be re-ported to solaris 2.6 (headers changed)
13
14- deal with everything that has XXX on it in the sources
15- documentation update ("XXX: FILL IN" sections).
16
17- hlfsd should be able to not use /var/alt_mail, but send code 75 back to
18  sendmail (telling it to re-queue the mail and retry later).
19
20- compatibility with Sun's automount maps?
21	should be easier via the amd.conf file to specify type of map
22	perhaps done at the same time autofs support is done.
23
24- a selector ala if_exists() for networkmask(1.2.3.4/5.6.7.8), will match
25  against all known IP addresses of this host.
26
27- convert to using my own rpcgen .x files for amq/amq/nfs (v2 and v3)
28
29- support multiple "fail-over" NFS mounts in Solaris 2.6.
30
31- use packaging info for various OSs (such as RPM, Redhat Package Format)
32
33- $mindelay and $maxdelay in milliseconds
34
35- multiple nfsl should be matched if one matched and nfs mount failed.  fall
36  through.
37- fall through syntax?  opts:=nofail,fallthrough?
38
39- random nfs rhost:={srv1, srv2, srv3}
40
41- after cutting next release dist, check that all files are there
42
43- nfslx, same as nfsl, but using linkx
44
45- find out why this sometimes works and sometimes not:
46	mcl	-rhost:=minetta host!=${rhost};type:=nfs host==${rhost}
47
48- loadable info_*, amfs_*, and ops_* modules (lazy evaluation).
49
50- hlfsd for ~root/.mailspool (getpwnam("root"))
51- hlfsd should daemonize even if -DDEBUG, then use -D nofork
52
53- fixmount should use generic code from transp/transp_{tli,sockets}.c
54
55- report netbsd/openbsd bugs in BUGS file
56
57- reverse notion of -F and other cmd-line options, so they override the
58amd.conf file (right now amd.conf overrides cmd-line options).
59
60- y2k compliance.
61
62- an un/install script for binaries
63
64- update README
65
66- add am-utils URL and COPYRIGHT to all distributed scripts and sources and
67  programs etc. also to amq -v output.
68
69- ion: browsable_dirs only works for nis if in [global] broken if it is file
70  maps.
71
72- all if statements should have an else clause because of Ultrix's /bin/sh.
73
74- look for obsolete AM_* macros and use newer AC_* ones
75- use 3rd arg to AC_CHECK_TYPE (headers)
76
77- FreeBSD 3.1 doesn't have SYMTTL flag, so the mtime of the hlfsd symlink is
78  always new.  This breaks hlfsd on FreeBSD 3.1, b/c the acregmin/max code
79  depends on the time that the symlink was created.  Solution: best is to
80  support NOAC in the FreeBSD kernel, otherwise hlfsd will have to know not
81  to turn on this code in hlfsd/stubs.c:
82
83    if (++slinkfattr.na_mtime.nt_useconds == 0)
84      ++slinkfattr.na_mtime.nt_seconds;
85
86- support nqnfs as per Jeffrey C Honig <jch@BSDI.COM>: "Besides having
87  NFSMNT_NQNFS set when you try to do the mount, NQNFS requires that you do
88  the nfssvc() call to create an nqnfs client daemon.  I can't see any
89  obvious way to check if the server supports NQNFS."
90
91- browsable 'auto' style maps.
