|
|
|
|
I've recently purchased a pentium computer from Comtrade that has a brand
|
|
new Orchid CDS-3100 CD-ROM on it. The cdrom manual says it supports both
|
|
Mitsumi and Sony interface standards. I have compiled kernels with both
|
|
these drivers and the results are as follows.
|
|
|
|
Sony: Nothing...No error messages at all...No action from the cdrom.
|
|
|
|
Mitsumi: Error message saying it can't find the cdrom at IRQ 11...
|
|
The cdrom makes a spine chilling noise that won't stop
|
|
until you reboot.
|
|
|
|
As to the error message from the Mitsumi driver my NCR scsi driver is at
|
|
IRQ 11. (By the way Drew Eckhardt's driver works well, no problems at all,
|
|
with my SCSI card.) I have set my cdrom up at IRQ 10, I/O address 320.
|
|
|
|
First off, is it just a pipe dream to think that this cdrom will work with
|
|
either of these drivers? Second, If one of these drivers can work with it
|
|
is there a way to set the IRQ and I/O address in the drivers so it will
|
|
grab the right one (or does it always auto-detect these properly)?
|
|
Third, and finally, is anyone developing a driver for this cd-rom?
|
|
|
|
I'd appreciate any comments regarding this cd-rom.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,

# Strick's posting of infilt gave me the idea that it would be

Anyone who has outgoing phone lines on their net-site-at-home

has a real potential liability if intruders get in.
|
|
|
|
I'm glad you're addressing this to comp.os.linux.development.
|
|
|
|
I put the filtering hack inside the PPP driver, but really it would be
|
|
much better to have these features in the kernel. Some things I do the
|
|
hard way, that could be done more easily, efficiently, and
|
|
device independantly, inside the IP portion of the OS kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
( see ftp.yak.net /pub/infilt for the package we're referring to.
|
|
|
|
Also notice how I've tried to keep the model of security fairly
|
|
simple -- there's not an infinite amount of stuff you can
|
|
configure and get wrong. In particular, there is no configuration
|
|
based on IP addresses and masks, so it's not susceptable to
|
|
a whole class of spoofs and common mistakes.

We have similar problems --
|
|
|
|
our setup:
|
|
|
|
486-DX2 66
|
|
IDE 720MB hard disk ( NO SCSI ! )
|
|
8 MB RAM
|
|
NE2000 ethernet card
|
|
|
|
In our setup, the hangs started when I upgraded from 1.1.10 to 1.1.45, and
|
|
became signicantly less frequent when I went to 1.1.50. Man, if you figure
|
|
this out, I'd much appreciate it!

I have a Gateway P5-66 with the same ATI Mach 32 PCI card, and have had
|
|
nothing but trouble with XF86_Mach32. After experiencing countless
|
|
crashes of exactly the type you describe, I decided to switch to the
|
|
8514 driver (XF86_8514). This version of the X server uses the 8514
|
|
emulation support that's part of the Mach 32 card. It's a big step down
|
|
to go with the 1024x768 resolution of the 8514 driver, but I'd rather have
|
|
bigger dots than a flaky system. After making the switch, my system has

been rock solid...

I have had these problems, but the problem was that the Annex (for
|

some reason) couldn't handle the traffic and dropped the carrier
|
|
with a error message (CLR). I guess this happens when you load
|
|
an annex up with more than it can handle. It was very reproduceable.
|
|
When I increased the inter-packet delays everything worked fine.
|
|
|
|
Maybe this is your problem....

Tk's coding capabilities are a bit limited for some things. I have used it

and XF (a freeware GUI builder for Tk; check harbor.ecn.purdue.edu) to build

GUI interfaces for some command-line-based programs, and today I used expectk

network to one system, thence via cu to a third system, grabs some data from a

Unify 2000 database, and brings it all the way back to the first system.
|
|
|

There's also Exmh (caveat, I'm a beta tester), an alternative user interface
|
|
for MH which is based on Tk and has MIME capabilities (unlike xmh).

The big advantage of Tk as an X toolkit is that it has an OLE-killer :-) built

Date: 3 Oct 1994 21:06:38 GMT
|
|
|
|
This question goes out to those people out there who are running CAP (the
|
|
Columbia Appletalk Package) on a Linux machine.
|
|
|
|
Is there anyone who is using the lwsrv.beta from munnari.oz.au (or
|
|
anywhere else) on linux? We need it so we can use LaserWriter 8 on our
|
|
macs, and I'm having some problems compiling it on linux. I'm using
|
|
Linux 1.1.49, and I've tried CAP6.0 pl 142 (the patch level that
|
|
lwsrv.beta was created at) and the newest, CAP6.0 pl 192. Here is the
|
|
relavent chunk of output from 'make':
|
|
|
|
yacc parsey.y
|
|
lex parsel.l
|
|
cc -DBYTESWAPPED -O -DLINUX -c y.tab.c
|
|
parsel.l: In function `yylex':
|
|

|
|
and later `static'
|
|
make: *** [y.tab.o] Error 1
|
|
|
|
Now, on Linux, 'lex' is a link to 'flex'. I even tried changing the lex
|
|
command to 'flex -l' (-l is supposed to provide maximum lex
|
|
compatibility). Of course, I had to change the Lex library in the
|
|
Makefile to -lfl (for flex, changed from -ll).
|
|
|
|
Has anyone got this to compile and work under Linux, or should I just
|
|
start tearing my hair out now?
|
|
|
|
Thanks for any help!

I've done a lot of work with security issues and SunOS, as well as operating
|
|
Linux systems since 0.99. Linux, IMHO, is much more secure than SunOS, mostly
|
|
because the Linux community works together to improve the system, while Sun
|
|
seems at times to be working against its user community.
|
|
|
|
Now, it may be true that Sun systems suffer from more attacks because they are
|
|
much more popular than Linux, HPUX, etc. However, the nice thing about Linux
|
|
is that if you find a problem, YOU HAVE THE SOURCE, you can fix it yourself if
|
|
you have to, although its likely that someone out there already has.
|
|
|
|
Security in UNIX systems is largely a matter of the skill of the people
|
|
administering the system. A Linux system run by an inexpierenced UNIX
|
|
administrator is going to have as many problems as a Sun system run by an
|
|
inexpierenced administrator.
|
|
|
|
Bottom line is, Linux is a good, stable system, and coupled with a talented
|
|
administrator, is going to be as secure as anything else on the net.

I also like this idea; it does not require that library code be
|
|
position independent. There was a long thread about the actual
|
|
performance penalty of PIC; from that I gather that it's at least 3%
|
|
and possibly more.

I don't see why this is a problem; if it can be done at program load
|
|
time, it can certainly be done at run time. It only requires that the
|
|
load-and-relocate function (and perhaps the locate-symbolic-entry-
|
|
point functions) be available to executing processes.

Try a shareware NFS client for DOS, which works over a packet driver.
|
|
There are at least two, look at
|
|
|
|
ftp://oak.oakland.edu/SimTel/msdos/nfs/*
|
|
|
|
I tried xfs176.zip (with Linux 1.1.23 at the other end, without any
|
|
extra patches). Not as fast as ethernet (~20 KB/s), but it works...
|
|
It works when loaded high, too.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps.
