When using the install-sh that ships with the source tree, Autoconf substitutes in a relative path just to be annoying. Define the INSTALL variables in each individual Makefile so that they find the proper file. Remove the definitions from Makefile.config so that no one will accidentally get the wrong ones. |

For details, see the LICENSE file in the top-level source directory or online at http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html This library is to be used by multithreaded programs that need to access the kauth and auth library interfaces. The primary method used to obtain thread safety in these libraries is to lock/unlock a recursive global mutex at the entry point of every public function in the library. However, not all public functions are made thread safe since not all functions are needed by the NT admin work. In particular, there are many public functions that make up decendants of the functions we wish to use that weren't modified, since these functions will be protected by the locking at a higher level function. To prevent people from using non-thread safe functions, platform specific methods are used to limit the functions exported by the library (using def files under NT and mapfiles under Solaris). For most non-exported functions, it should be trivial to make the transformation to thread safe by simply locking/ unlocking the global mutex at the beginning/end of the function.
