AFS Techologies Workshop


OpenAFS Newsletter, Volume 2, Issue 3, March 2010

Welcome to the eleventh 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 <jason@rampaginggeek.com> 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 http://www.openafs.org/newsletter/

General OpenAFS Progress

OpenAFS versions 1.4.12 and 1.5.72 were released. 1.5.72 includes many bug fixes and support for OpenBSD 4.6. Derrick Brashear added a growl agent for Mac OS X so that AFS messages are displayed to the user. The growl agent code is in the master branch.

1.4.12 includes many bug fixes and improvements, including support for Linux 2.6.33, a preference pane for Mac OS X, and support for MIT Kerberos 1.8.

Simon Wilkinson brought up a possible copyright issue where the source code is under the IBM Public License, and the IETF submitters cannot provide the provisions required in RFC 5738 when IPL-licensed source code, even header files, needs to be included as part of an IETF submission. Jeffrey Altman is working with IBM and some IP lawyers to see how this may be resolved.

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.

Web site: http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw10/index.html

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. The conference is being hosted by Centre for Information Technology, University of West Bohemia.

AFS Protocol Standardization

Informal drafts that haven't been uploaded to the IETF web site:

Rx Spec:

http://openafs.sinenomine.net/~mmeffie/rfc/draft-zeldovich-rx-spec-00.html

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-standardization

PTS Alternate Authentication

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names

Status: Active - Third call for review

Last Update: November 18, 2009

AFS Callback Extensions

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-benjamin-extendedcallbackinfo

Status: Active - Needs more discussion

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.

DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-allbery-afs-srv-records

Status: Submitted to IETF

It's been approved by the IESG as a proposed standard and is now in the RFC Editor queue. All the procedural hurdles have therefore been cleared, and all that should remain is wordsmithing with the RFC Editor and final publication.

--Russ

RXGK

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk

Status: Active

Rxgk is a security layer for AFS which will support strong encryption and authentication through Kerberos v5, GSI and any other GSSAPI security mechanism.

Documents describing rxgk have been published and are being discussed on the afs3-standardization list. To date, no major objections have been raised in both public, and private, review.

rxgk implementation work is continuing, focusing this month on improving token support. All of our tools currently assume that only a single token type is in use, and all of the new RX security layers will require that this be extended to support multiple different types. Two new pioctls (based on work already done by Love in Arla) were proposed and discussed on openafs-devel and an implementation produced. The kernel token store was extended to support multiple token types, and aklog was refactored to move the rxkad specific code out of the main loop.

A side effect of this work is that a number of changes have been made to improve code quality in the cache manager.

Changes which are considered suitable for the 1.5.x series are in git - look for changes with author sxw@your-file-system.com. A development tree, which will be frequently rebased, is at http://github.com/your-file-system/openafs-rxgk

Projects

Demand-Attach FileServer (DAFS)

Project Contacts:

The salvaging performance improvements in gerrit 880 (volume group cache) have been merged, and gerrit 1092 (parallel preattach optimization) looks about ready to go. Several patches culminating in gerrit 1406 (per-volume locks) have been submitted, which allow for demand-salvages to occur at the same time as volume operations (as well as other salvages) on the same partition. DAFS developer documentation has been submitted in gerrit 1376.

--Andrew

Better Documentation

Project Contacts:

Andrew Deason documented some of the FSSYNC commands. Jason Edgecombe fixed some minor issues in the CellAlias man page and wrote a new section for the Admin Guide that discusses how to tune the client cache size.

Pthreaded Ubik

Project Contact:

We've found a reproducible test case which exhibits the bug and expect a patch to be completed by mid-March.

--Alistair

Gerrit 1546 (add locks for addresses and cheader) has been submitted for review, and with that, we now believe the vlserver to be thread-safe. Since the vlserver thread-safety issues were the only known pthreaded ubik issues, after 1546 we are aware of no further issues with pthreaded ubik.

--Andrew

Kerberos v5 and multiple encryption types

Project Contacts:

Bug fixes to work with MIT Kerberos 1.8, works.

Heimdal 1.3.1 - in progress. Configuring Heimdal build to work with lwp openafs has become more tricky. Had some experimental success.

Installing from "build out of tree" - more fixes.

Started looking at design issues for split "rxkad/rxk5" cell.

--Marcus

Per-File ACLs

Project Contacts:

Current status:

Code wise there is now some real progress:

--Marc

Mac OS X OpenAFS Preference Pane

Project Contact:

The preference pane has been stabilized a little but more. An issue has been resolved in Mac OS X 10.6 where clicking the login icon would show the icon again without showing the password text field when "get krb5 ticket at login time" option is on.

--Claudio

*BSD Support

Project Contacts:

Support for OpenBSD 4.6 was included in 1.5.72.

Google Summer of Code 2010

OpenAFS applied to be a mentoring organization in this year's Google Summer of Code, which pays students up to $5000 to spend their summer working on open source software. ( More details at http://code.google.com/soc/ ) We've done this successfully for the last two years, with major improvements such as disconnected operation resulting from the programme. We need project ideas, mentors, and students! If you have an idea that would make a suitable 3 month project for a student developer or if you would be happy to remotely advise a student over the course of the summer, please let us know. Google will announce the list of accepted organizations on March 18th.

Please also advertise the programme to any students you come in contact with, and if you are a student who is interested in participating, get in touch.
