I also have the shadow-mk package and have seen the _login and login.secure files in my directories. What's wrong with them???????, exept for the fact that no sources are available of login.secure. Ask the author for the sources and check them for any pittfalls. Don't we trust each other anymore?????

|
||
Is there anyone who's an expert on the resolver in Linux who I
|
||
can discuss my problem with ?
|
||
|
||
I'm using an external DNS, and when Linux makes a query it insists
|
||
on adding the default domain to any hostname that doesn't have a
|
||
trailing dot.
|
||
So, for example, if I ping "bmdhh130.bnr.co.uk" from g8fsl.ampr.org,
|
||
Linux puts out a DNS request for "bmdhh130.bnr.co.uk.ampr.org", which
|
||
doesn't get resolved and I get a "host not known" error.
|
||
|
||
Any help would be appreciated - I've tried looking through the source
|
||
code but it isn't commented well enough for me to debug by
|
||
code-reading.

Depends on your definition of intelligent. There is a Linux driver for
|
||
the Cyclades board based on Cirrus Logic RISC chips. These chips are like
|

really smart buffered UARTS rather than a general-purpose processor on the
|

board but it's fast and it works.
|

|

If you need more info, there is an article on the driver development in

If Mohan is the cracker you suggest, what he would hate the most

would be publishing the login.secure program.
|
||
|
||
If Mohan is innocent, the fastest way to clear his neame would be
|

to publish the login.secure program.
|
||
|

Either way, I suggest you uuencode login.secure (if it's not an

ASCII shell script :-) and post it to these newsgroups. A lot
|

of people here are competent with unassemblers.

The Hurd is more complete than you think and ``Linux on Mach'' too. In

fact, a major part of the ``Linux on Mach'' project is now usable: the

ext2fs server (the other major part being binary compatibility). BTW,

the Hurd is very well designed and I think it was worth the wait. I
|

like Linux better than the Hurd but I think that using Hurd technology
|
||
to acheive ``Linux on Mach'' is the best possible solution now.
|
||
|
||
BTW, most problems with Mach are very likely to be solved in Mach
|
||
4. Bryan Ford, the head developper for Mach 4, is much more open to
|
||
requests from the ``freeware world'' than CMU ever was.

|

The 3c503 init routines probes for your net adapter first at i/o address
|
||
0x2e0 (which is not successful), the at address 0x310 (where it actually
|
||
resides). Hence the adapter is this time detected, and the routine grabs
|
||
its RAM address range, which spans from 0xdc000 to 0xddfff.

HORRIBLE SWAP THRASHING BUG (please try this)
|
||
|
||
A simple program that runs consistantly in ~1.25min on my
|
||
SGI 33Mhz r3k Indigo completely ruins my Linux box.
|
||
Please run the short program "thrash" (see end) and let me know
|
||
how it performs on your system...for me this is a
|
||
serious problem.
|
||
|
||
Will adding more memory make the situation better? How much more?
|
||
Will another Linux release behave better?
|
||
|
||
Thanks.

Configuration:

Linux 1.1.48
|
||
P90 PCI
|
||
16M ram
|
||
>80Mbytes swap (1 18M partition, 4 16M files)
|
||
|
||
Symptoms:
|
||
1. run "thrash" once (~4min)...everything is okay
|
||
2. run "thrash" again (~1 hour!) ... system is very sluggish
|
||
3. run "thrash" again (> ~1 hour!) ... nothing runs, locked
|
||
|
||
Directions:
|
||
0. Compile "thrash"
|
||
gcc -O2 -m486 thrash.c -o thrash
|
||
|
||
1. Make a big file (~100Mbytes) :
|
||
dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1024 count=100000
|
||
|
||
2. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile
|
||
|
||
3. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile
|
||
|
||
4. run "thrash"
|
||
time thrash bigfile

I had a similar problem with the DEPCA driver in some 1.1.1x or 2x

version of the kernel, now it's fixed, but what I did that time was to

hard code the IRQ value in the Space.c file in ~linux/drivers/net.

Syquest 88mb Nec cdr841 Phillips scsi-1 cdrom so 1x scsi-2 disk
|
||
1x scsi-1 cdrom 1x scsi-2 cdrom
|
||
1.0.9 has no problems with mounting or unmounting scsi-1 or -2
|
||

intermittant scsi timeouts.
|

i get scsi timeouts as per the uue listing below

also if the system boots up. and i try to mount ANY scsi device

I had this problem with an IDE drive - every 16 bytes transferred from the
|
||
drive would have bit 0 stuck - even after a cold reboot and loading DOS
|
||
instead of Linux. Interestingly, even the drive ID was corrupted to something
|
||
like 'Samsung Elecuronics SHC-' something. I was just using Linux when the
|
||
problem became apparent...ie, I got several kernel panics. This was quite a
|
||
while ago, and appeared to be solved by removing and reinserting the data
|
||
cable to the drive, so it may well have been the drive itself - it just
|
||
seemed too much of a cooincidence. ISTR it was with a kernel pre 1.1.22.

Has anyone had a problem with this file giving
|

'Unexpected Eof' message when unzipped/untarred ??
|
||
|
||
taar zxf gnat-1.81-l1-bin.tar.gz
|

|

Yes, I did use bin and then pulled it again to make sure
