If you want all the PCs and MACs listed in one list like SAMBA offers
for PCs, and all PCs and MACs talking to each other then you would have
a problem Linux cannot solve, AFAIK. The PCs talk to Linux and to each
other through the SMB-protocol. The MACs talk to Linux and to each other
by their own protocol. So there is either the chance that you run the
SMB-protocol on the MACs or you run the MAC's protocols on the PCs. If
you can't do this, you have to restrict to the PCs talking to each other
and to Linux and the MACs talking to each other and to Linux. So your
problem is more likely a PC or MAC problem.
I can't imagine that anybody tries to build a proxy that wraps a MAC
network into a SAMBA network, and/or vice versa a PC network into the
MAC network. Perhaps there are some developers of SAMBA or the MAC
protocols around to say something about this being possible at all or to
which degree it is possible or if this has been done. I'm sure this
would be a major problem, combining those of both worlds and newly
creating a lot more.
Try to find the SMB-protocol for your MACs. Does SAMBA run on MACs? I
don't know MACs enough.
Try to find software for your PCs that allows access to MACs. This is
more likely.
Linux can be server of common resources like printers or filespace for
both worlds independently from the problem if PCs and MACs can talk one
to another.

: mySQL : http://www.tcx.se/

it has this nasty bug about the last column being a string - I forget the details but
I ended up going with mysql
since it has worked for me bug-free for over 2 yrs in a production env.
but it lacks bells and such. no stored procs and no triggers.

That usually doesn't happen. Most people will keep sending you good
advice like what _you_ should change, because _they_ want it that way.
Additionally you'll get many bug reports from people who can't compile
the package just because they can't handle it, which doesn't keep them
from trying. (``Ohh, I need a C-compiler to install the package ? What
is a compiler ?'')
But still, it's well worth the additional effort, as many people gain
from getting the source-code. Just that you never hear anything back
from them ;-)
Regards,
Gerd

No. It's on the agenda, but not being actively developed AFAIK.
Commonly used IPC either uses the SysV stuff(ugh) or pipes/sockets/
mmap() shm for communication and select/poll or queued real-time
signals (completion ports) or fcntl for syncronization.

Subject: .h files missing for Make Config in Redhat

hiya
First things first - there's probably a post very similar to this about
to pop up on the server - in a frenzy of Ctrl-V pressing down below I
must of pressed Ctrl-Enter, which Netscape kindly assumes means that you
want to post your message...Oooops
Anyways
I've been trying to persuade sound to work in Redhat 5.2 - go to the
src/linux/drivers/sound dir, type make config...& i get the following
error:
configure.c: 19: stdio.h: No such file or directory
configure.c: 20: unistd.h: No such file or directory
configure.c: 21: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
configure.c: 22: fcntl.h: No such file or directory
configure.c: 23: string.h: No such file or directory
Anyone know where I can find those files? I've looked all over the
packages in the CD, but haven't found anything...
Cheers
Jonathan
