I don't know if this has already been addressed, is being addressed, or not, but I was wondering if there will be any changes to OpenAFS 1.4 to either make IP ACLs take effect immediately, or if a command could be added to force the file server to update its IP ACLs. Right now the workaround is to move the volume if you want the ACLs to take effect immediately, but this isn't easy for big volumes. And yes, I know they're horrible and I'm a bad person for using them, but they've made a few problems much easier to solve.
There will be no new changes in 1.4 in this area. However, with a new enough fileserver, there is a FlushCPS RPC you can call to make the fileserver discard its cached rights for a particular set of IP addresses. Be careful, though -- if the fileserver is not new enough, calling this RPC may cause it to crash.
