FreeBSD L10N for Armenian language.
Hi, I am not sure whether this is the correct list for such a question... Please let me know if it is not. I would like to make a FreeBSD Localization for Armenian. I've already some small parts ready like: syscons fonts (8x16 ready, 8x8 is in work , 8x14 coming soon) and keyboard mapping file. There are few questions and I will appreciated any kind of help. I've found the manual for mklocale, it is an utility for generating LC_CTYPE files. There are also a pair of other files included for each language LC_COLLATE etc. I Have no clue what kind of format those files have, and what is the function of those files. Any kind of information is welcome. The next question is where the messages for libc, and other libraries reside and how should they be localized. And probably the last question in this mail :-) where and how should I submit the things when they are ready. P.S. Please let me know if there is a better mailing list for L10N related things. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Locking, locking...
Hello hackers...
I need advice how to handle with one locking problem.
For example I got some list with some values. This list could be
modified by any process. I want to get values from this list and
copy them to allocated table. But how to count number of needed
fields?
mtx_lock(mtx_list_lock);
n = 0;
SLIST_FOREACH(elem, list_head, l_next) {
n++;
}
mtx_unlock(mtx_list_lock);
tab = malloc(n * sizeof(something), M_TEMP, M_WAITOK);
mtx_lock(mtx_list_lock);
[...]
As we all knew size of list could be changed when we were in malloc().
Of course we could check list size again after malloc() and mtx_lock(),
but what to do when it was changed? Recall memory allocation?
If size of this list depends on every process there is a chance to DoS
such piece of code. Return an error? Not always it is possible.
IMHO there should be malloc() version that could be called under lock.
Malloc() M_NOWAIT could be called in such scenario?
How do you handle with situations like this?
Thanks!

Important News from SignUp
Dear CIO Pull-Henning Kamp, Re: Important News from SignUp The first Press Release is from the Department for Work and Pensions. It details a pioneering project established by the Government that will test new ways of helping sick workers keep their jobs. Further information can be obtained by calling the free phone number 07659 108883. In the second article, Health and Safety Minister Nick Brown, urges organizations that use hazardous chemicals to look at ways of preventing ill health. He was speaking at the launch of the European Week for Safety and Health Action Pack. Requests for action packs can be made on the website http://www.hse.gov.uk/euroweek, or by calling 0800 0850050 / 08701 545500. Kind regards, The SignUp Team Reference:JRRPpres Date: 13 March 2003 DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS: PIONEERING PROJECT COULD STOP SICK WORKERS LOSING THEIR JOBS A cutting edge project to test new ways of helping sick workers keep their jobs is being launched by the Government. The research project could provide valuable information to enable people to get back to work quickly without losing their current jobs and help businesses retain skilled and experienced workers. The Job Retention and Rehabilitation Pilot (JRRP), funded by the Department for Work and Pensions in partnership with the Department of Health, is set to start on 1 April. It will examine the barriers preventing people from a healthy return to work after sick absence and try to find ways of overcoming them. DWP Work Minister Nick Brown said: Every week people lose their job because of health problems. They can then be out of work and relying on benefits for years a waste of both human and taxpayers resources. This cutting edge initiative could prove a real boost to workers and bosses across the U.K. Evidence shows that the earlier people off work because of sickness receive help, the better their chance of returning to their job. The research project will test how extra health and workplace support can help people get well again, return to work and keep their jobs. We will of course need to carefully evaluate the results to see how successful the different pilot models have been. Health Minister David Lammy said Existing research does not tell us if extra help at work or through the health service will be effective in keeping people in their jobs. It makes sense to carry out new research so that we can see what works and what doesnt. Involving 7,500 selected volunteers, the JRRP will run for two years in six pilot areas across the country: Greater Glasgow, Teesside, Tyneside, Birmingham, Sheffield and West Kent. The innovative project will be open to eligible employed and self-employed volunteers who have been off work for between 6 and 26 weeks. External providers will deliver the pilot under contract. Pilot service providers will publicise the research project in each area and encourage volunteers, working with health professionals and employers. For more information phone the free number 07659 108883. NOTES TO EDITORS: 1. People interested in volunteering in the pilot areas will be asked to contact a national contact centre and if eligible they will be assigned to specific research groups. One group will deal with problems in the workplace that may have contributed to the persons ill health. Another group will offer extra rehabilitation health care services and advice and a third group will provide a combination of health care and work-based support. There will also be a fourth group, a control group. Participants in all four groups will still have access to existing services. 2. An evaluation report will be produced at the end of the pilot in autumn 2005 and the findings will contribute to shaping future policy. 3. The pilot will operate under the following brand names: HealthyReturn (Greater Glasgow) WorkCare (Sheffield, Birmingham and West Kent) Routeback (Tyneside and Teesside). 4. The Job Retention and Rehabilitation Pilot is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions in partnership with the Department of Health and supported by the Scottish Executive and the Health and Safety Executive. CONTACT DETAILS: Press Office: 0207 238 0866 or 0207 238 0762 Out of hours: 07659 108883 Public enquiries: 020 7712 2171 Website: www.dwp.gov.uk E079:03 19 May 2003 MINISTER URGES ACTION TO MANAGE HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS AT WORK Today Health and Safety Minister Nick Brown urged organisations that use hazardous chemicals to look at ways of preventing ill health in the workplace, including cancers, respiratory diseases and skin diseases.

If size of this list depends on every process there is a chance to DoS such piece of code. Return an error? Not always it is possible. I'm not sure the DoS potential is so bad. To force restarts the attacker needs to either keep increasing the length of the list or increase and decrease it repeatedle. If they can keep increasing it, then there is a DoS in terms of memory allocation anyway. If they increase and decrease it, there should be 50-50 chance of the allocation working each time.

What RFCs are supported by FreeBSD
Hello, my fellow hackers.
Does anybody know, which RFCs are followed by FreeBSD's core network
drivers (like IP,TCP,routing,UDP,ICMP drivers)?
I have tried
find /usr/src/sys/ -name *.c -or -name '*.h' -exec grep -l -i rfc {} \;|tee rfcs.kern
and
sysctl -a |grep -i rfc
It gave me some info, but I still wonder, is there more reliable method?
Please cc me in your reply because I am not subscibed to this list
(yet ;) ).
Thanks for any help.
