Hi Jan, thanks for the great work! Still I have some question marks - On Wed, Apr 27, 2005 at 04:37:39PM -0400, Jan Harkes wrote: > - Avoid permission denied errors when an authenticated user revokes > his tokens or when they expire. the wording seems to be a bit unfortunate. Does it mean switching to disconnected semantics, something else, or using unauthenticated connections? I assume you mean the last. Using unauthenticated connections does not prevent permission denied errors for protected files, and leads to security weakening for world-readable files as the unauthenticated connections can be spoofed. Good as a temporary measure, for conveniency, but IM very HO it should not survive longer than when we switch to real cryptography, anyway not as the default behaviour. > - Returning 1 as the directory link count so that the find -noleaf option is > no longer necessary. I guess it is not worse than otherwise - as we did not follow Unix traditions about dirlinks anyway. Still, I think the culprit has always been gnu find, -noleaf should have been the default mode, not vice versa. There are many other filesystems which in one or another way differ from "exact optimizeable dirlink behaviour" - like dirlink count wrapping over 2^16. Now it is filesystems who are adapting themselves to gnu find... a bit odd :) > - Added a pretty much all of the old manpages that I could find. That's great. Again, thanks. -- IvanReceived on 2005-04-28 05:01:01
