Hi folks!
I don't really understand much of kernel-programming, but I thought you
guys do.
When compiling the kernel and the moduls, everything looks alright. But
when loading isdn.o, i get an error massage like this: 'unresolved
symbol ip_masq_in_get_2'... I lokked into the sources and found out that
ip_masq_in_get_2 has to be exported in net/ipv4/ip_masq.c ... But as I
took a look into this file, there was only an ip_masq_in_get, but no
ip_masq_in_get_2.
I'm using SuSE 6.1 with the 2.2.5.SuSE kernel...
Thanks!!
Rainer.

Not likely (because it's a VM issue rather than a filesystem issue; I
stand corrected on that important point), but that (to me) is the crux
of the issue: the other major 32-bit operating systems do support
large files.

Not very much. Do steps 1. and 2. Run xfs on a port of your choice.
Then run xset +fp inet/host:port. That's all.

OH LORD......
2 Weeks of messing around - but now I have the solution !!!!!!!
I have installed RH 6.0 for SPARC using shadow password AND md5 password. It
seems, that the encryption of crypt() creates not the same password like
passwd does (perhaps a problem in my pam.d directory in the 'login' and
'other' file - anyone an idea ???).
I disabled the MD5 password encryption in the setup tool, (IMPORTANT: ) set
up the same passwords again with passwd (because otherwise the password
stays the same in /etc/shadow !!!) AND IT WORKED !!!!
Cyrus IMAP is working fine, and now I check qpopper again.....

Subject: High load average, low cpu usage when /home NFS mounted
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 12:47:16 +0200
I have a PII 450 MHz w/512 MB ram and a clean RedHat 6.0 w/updates. The
/home partition is NFS mounted from and SGI. When I take a look at cpu
usage i kpm/qps most of the cpu is idle (~85%), but load average reports
around 2. Isn't load average a function of cpu usage (only, mostly)? Can
it be that some process is running, but not showing in ps/top/kpm? I
feel that the system response has been reduced quite a bit after
upgrading to RedHat 6.0.
Please email me as well as post to this NG!

This affects the select() syscall. Don't touch. B-)
