OpenAFS Newsletter, Issue 7, November 2009
Welcome to the seventh issue of the OpenAFS newsletter. This newsletter
summarizes what is happening in the OpenAFS community.
As always, volunteers, patches, bug reports, or any other type of help
is greatly appreciated.
Feedback on this newsletter is welcome. The goal is to summarize the
various development efforts and news of OpenAFS for the community.
Please let Jason Edgecombe <[email protected]> know what you would
like to see out of this newsletter. Any news about AFS-related projects
is welcome and may be submitted to Jason for inclusion in the next
newsletter.
The current and past issues of this newsletter are available at

In reply to Derrick's request for a pony, here it is: "u".
Unfortunately, a Nethack pony is all that we have the budget for. ;)
General OpenAFS Progress
OpenAFS 1.5.66 was released on October 24. Key highlights include
support for Windows 7 and Server 2008R2.
October's discussion of the AFS lock icon was concluded. The OpenAFS
provider in Network Identity Manager now includes a lock icon which
shows OpenAFS status and token status similar to the old AFScrds
program. The network mount functionality in AFScreds is now shipped
disabled by default.
Simon Wilkinson and Derrick Brashear put out a call for code reviewers.
We need people to review the pending changes in Gerrit. Everyone is
welcome to review some code. It can help those who aren't familiar with
the code to become more familiar with it. To get started in reviewing,
go to <http://gerrit.openafs.org> and login using your OpenID
credentials. Download the patch and apply it to the latest git tree,
then compile it and test it. Report your results with each patch in
Gerrit. If you need help getting started, ask on the openafs-devel list,
the #openafs IRC channel or the Jabber chat room.
Mike Meffie proposed a finer set of access controls to prevent users
with admin rights on a folder from giving overly permissive access to
other users or groups. This is part of a effort to find a safer way to
deal with public facing AFS sites. We want to encourage people to chime
in with their ideas and reach a general census so we can move forward
and improve AFS.
Events
Annual Best Practices Workshop
Plans are already underway for the seventh Workshop, to be held May
24-28, 2010, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We hope
to see you there.
European AFS Conference
The date for the 3rd European AFS & Kerberos Conference has been set.
The conference will take place in Pilsen, Czech Republic, from September
13 to September 15, 2010. More details are forthcoming and will be
posted at <http://afs2010.civ.zcu.cz>.
Projects
AFS Protocol Standardization
Two more proposals came out of the Edinburg AFS Hackathon, but haven't
been discussed much on the afs-standardization list:
* http://www.dementia.org/~shadow/draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-nam
es-00.html
* http://openafs.sinenomine.net/~tkeiser/draft-tkeiser-rxrpc-sec-clear
-00.html
Mike Meffie reformatted Nickolai Zeldovich's draft Rx protocol
specification (from 2002) as an Internet Draft and, with his permission,
is sharing it.
The reformatted document is available via http and AFS at:
<http://openafs.sinenomine.net/~mmeffie/rfc/draft-zeldovich-rx-spec-00.h
tml>
/afs/sinenomine.net/user/mmeffie/public/rfc/draft-zeldovich-rx-spec-00.h
tml
[Ed.: I give my thanks to Simon Wilkinson for providing an excellent
summary of the current status of the proposals. Most of this section was
taken from one of Simon's emails.]
Discussion on these proposals is welcome and should be done on the
AFS3-standardization list at
<http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standar
dization>
AFS Callback Extensions
<http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-benjamin-extendedcallbackinfo-00.txt>
Status: Active
We need to decide whether we're going to wait for the RPC refresh
changes before publishing extended callbacks. My belief is that that's
the only factor currently delaying this document. The question here,
essentially, is whether anyone would deploy extended callbacks before
deploying updated RPCs. To date, nobody has said they would do so.
--Simon Wilkinson
DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS
<http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-allbery-afs-srv-records-01.txt>
Status: Active
I think this is pretty much done from our perspective. In this
draft's case, I think it's perfectly fair to get it published
through the IETF, as an individual submission, given it updates a
protocol element (AFSDB records) that are already specified in an
RFC.
We have two problems that are delaying this, and other initiatives:
The first is that there has been no movement since last year on
establishing a clearer footing for the work done on this
[afs3-standardization] list. The draft I published suggests that the
g.c.o registrars bootstrap the process, but so far they haven't had
sufficient time to do so. At some point, if they remain unable to
get it off the ground, we're going to have to come up with another
mechanism.
There is also a general issue about how to publish the wider set of
AFS protocol documents - the current proposal is that they go
through the independent submission stream, and eventually appear as
RFCs. To date, I don't think we've approached anyone with regards to
this plan, and the whole RFC publishing processing is going through
significant change at present. We need to resolve this before things
like extended callbacks can move forwards.
--Simon Wilkinson
I've received no responses since version -01 of the draft, so I was
about to ask about what the next step is. Should I make a last call
for comments here and then approach the IESG about publication?

Demand-Attach FileServer (DAFS)
Project Contacts:
* Andrew Deason <[email protected]>
* Tom Keiser <[email protected]>
* Mike Meffie <[email protected]>
A fix for 124484 (volserver salvages) is in gerrit 787 and is undergoing
review. We believe this to be the last 'critical' DAFS issue, so we
would encourage that anyone with an interest in using DAFS test DAFS
with that fix. There are still other (mostly performance-related) issues
we are continuing to work on, but we know of no other critical
DAFS-specific problems.
--Andrew
Mac OS X OpenAFS Preference Pane
Project Contact:
* Claudio Bisegni <[email protected]>
The only update is the automatic link creation on the Desktop for custom
paths. Now, I'm trying to see if I can use FUSE to make these paths
mountable as real volumes.
--Claudio
Better Documentation
Project Contacts:
* Russ Allbery <[email protected]>
* Jason Edgecombe <[email protected]>
Several man page updates have gone into the tree since last month, but I
don't think there's been any significant progress on the larger
documents.
One useful documentation project that we could ask for volunteers to
work on is writing man pages for the new binaries that were added as
part of the demand-attach file server work.
--Russ
Kerberos v5 and multiple encryption types
Project Contacts:
* Matt Benjamin <[email protected]>
* Marcus Watts <[email protected]>
Simon and I discussed some of the issues yesterday via XMPP. We agree
there are lots of things Marcus and I can do, but a lot of things become
easier and more useful to do when upstream is ready start thinking about
rxk5 in detail. Simon pointed out that once 1.6 branches, rxk5 patches
can flow onto head--and that means that folks can start reviewing
changes for potential merge. Even if it takes a while to get through
them, that's the most efficient process to be on, and the sooner we can
start it, the more productive we can be.

S3 Front-end for AFS
Project Contacts:
* Fabrizio Manfredi <[email protected]>
* Claudio Bisegni <[email protected]>
Small description of S3AFS:
First of all, Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that
can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from
anywhere on the web.
S3AFS is a web application, it provides a local implementation of the S3
service. This can be useful if you want to make use of the Amazon S3 web
service interface but host the storage on your own OpenAFS cell. The
first step of the project is mapping the OpenAFS resources to a S3
client, then you can read your file and directory as a key of a S3
bucket. The second step is to use OpenAFS as an S3 backend.
We have a basic implementation, without authentication and authz, we now
start to understand how to put Authentication (SetAG) in the java multi
thread env.
Progress:
We have a proof of concept, which was presented at the Workshop in Rome,
and we have finished the design and started coding in Java for the
production release. We hope to release a preview in December without ACL
handling. We have to fix some compilation problems in the Java lib in
the 1.5.x, which has not been submitted yet.
--Fabrizio
Active Directory Backend for Ptserver
Project Contacts:
* Fabrizio Manfredi <[email protected]>
* Claudio Bisegni <[email protected]>
Ptserver-Ng is a custom implementation of the ptserver with an Active
Directory backend instead of Ubik db. Today, more institutions ask to me
a more generic interface in special way for ldap connection. The new
project is focused on a plugin architecture for a multi-backend
implementation. The first step is to create a more generic database API
(ptdb) and move all the ubik code into this new infrastructure. Second
step is to create a proxy read/write backend and more generic AD (read
only) backend.
Status : interface definition (ptdb api)
We have finished the interface definition, we start to move the existing
ubik code, no release date are available.
Virtual Machine Images
Project Contact:
* Fabrizio Manfredi <[email protected]>
I have created a set of virtual machines. In this way, everyone can try
and test OpenAFS without installing it.
You can find the VM at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3afs/files/
--Fabrizio
Pthreaded Ubik
Project Contact:
* Steven Jenkins <[email protected]>
Steven has changed employers and email addresses.
There are no updates to the Pthreaded Ubik project. It will not appear
in future newsletters unless there is an update.
Userspace cache manager
Project Contact:
* Andrew Deason <[email protected]>
I'm in the middle of adding support for ACL and mountpoint manipulation
(and in general, making pioctl emulation work). Once that is working to
a certain degree, I should be able to work on getting this suitable for
merging in mainline. If anyone wants to use this before then, just ask.
I'd also like to note that apparently it may be possible to emulate PAGs
in linux userspace. So, a fully-featured FUSE client is not as
impossible as I once thought, and may someday exist.
