Lars:

If you have a reproducible test case, please follow the directions in
the release notes and file a bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In particular, if you can place a live public test case that I can run a client against it will make things much easier to track down.

Also, I would really like to understand the rationale for creating
a link that includes either ".." or "../..". Can you provide me an example where this makes sense?

The limit of 100 characters seems very strange. The max length of a target is 1024 characters.

Thank you.

Hello all,

we get some serious problems with file links in our environment.

We are using OpenAFS for Windows version 1.5.30 and Linux AFS-Servers 1.4.6.

When we create a file link under Linux with a pattern like "PATH/../../PATH" and the path is longer than 100 characters, we get an error on Windows "Permission denied". In a 64bit environment the AFS-Client crashes with a message "OpenAFS Stopping due to error (cm_scache.c:1783): cm_scache_t refCount 0." in the EventLog.

I did some tests with older versions. The result is, that the latest version without the error is 1.5.21. I think, there is a problem in the recursion detection feature in version 1.5.22, which was partly fixed in 1.5.23 and 1.5.24.

Does the path have a pattern like "PATH/../PATH" there are no problems.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards,
Lars
