A lot of people have said this, but does NT wear pants? Maybe Linux

What Linux and atheism have in common, that which their
advocates most energetically embrace and their detractors
most vociferously vilify, is that they both encourage
an independent view of the world.

Ok, here's the question: I'm trying to set up a linux client that has the
same user base as the workstations on an established network that uses AFS
and DFS. Instead of keeping the passwords locally and creating local home
directories, I'd like to authenticate their passwords using one of the
workstations and mount their DFS directory using samba at the login.
Do I need a specail PAM to perform the login? How do I get the linux
client to source the server's passwords?

To begin with, you'd need a UDF filesystem instead of an ISO filesystem. But in
addition, I don't believe that the current device drivers support writing less
than a whole track at one time.

The win98 file system does not have permissions. Thus the file system
driver must make some up. The decision of the people who wrote the
drivers was that only root be able to write to the file system.
Thus to write, become root.

I believe the question had to do with the notion of a *visual* development
tool.
KDevelop is a menu-oriented IDE, which is about as "visual" in nature as is
XEmacs atop X.
Both have menus and text buffers, and even some buttons.
We could make them into "visual" development tools by taking the software,
renaming them "Visual KDevelop (tm)" or "Visual XEmacs (tm)", thereby
introducing them to the "Family of Tools Whose Names Contain the Word
Visual."
The notion that this makes them actually visual in nature is quite a
separate matter.
(If they were truly "visual," then there shouldn't need to be any text
windows, right?)

Subject: CONFIG_MD_BOOT in Kernel 2.2.6?
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 04:10:20 GMT
Hello.
I have recently upgraded to 2.2.6 kernel (Slackware 4.0). I normally
have to rebuilt my kernel to include support for my NIC. I also took
the opportunity to partition my hard drive into 4 paritions (/dev/hda1 -
4 (1=swap; 2=/; 3=/home; 4=/usr).
Now, when I built the 2.2.6 kernel, I selected the same / compatible
kernel config parameters that I was using on 2.0.36. During linking of
main.o in /usr/src/linux/init, there was an undefined reference to the
CONFIG_MD_BOOT option.
So, I plow back into Documentation/md.txt and into make xconfig. To get
the CONFIG_MD_BOOT option active, I must select 'Y' to these options:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR
CONFIG_MD_BOOT
I recompile (even though it appears that since I am not running RAID
that I don't need these options). The recompile works and I reboot to
be met with a Kernel Panic...
So, my question: If I have only a single HDD (4 paritions), why would
the first kernel want to find the code included by CONFIG_MD_BOOT? I am
certain that I didn't include this option in 2.0.36.
If I do neet this option, then what else might I need so that my kernel
will boot?
BTW - I did a make bzImage, copied it to /, added the new entry to
/etc/lilo.conf and ran lilo. The only difference in this procedure,
compared to 2.0.36 is that under 2.0.36, I did a 'make zImage'. I don't
think this is the problem, though.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Not that I had one, but it's not the hardest script in the world to
write :)
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "<html><body>\n";
while (<>)
{
chomp;
print "<a href=\"$_\">$_</a>\n";
}
print "</body></html>\n";
This just takes the URLs from stdin, so if you've got a file urls.txt and
the perl script is called urlfiles.pl, you'd use something like:
./urlfiles.pl < urls.txt
Hope this is what you're after...

From: Nitin Malik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: memcpy from mmap'ed buffers
I have mapped the DMA packet receive buffers (located on host memory) to
the user space to implement a single copy packet reception scheme.
Thus the user application just copies the data from the DMA buffers to his
buffers... To read 10000 bytes of data, the time taken is approx 475
microsec, which is much larger than the time in the original TCP/IP scheme
(220 microsec).
Since the MTU for ethernet is 1460, max data size per packet is 1460. This
memcpy operation takes around 70 microseconds.
For 10000 bytes, the total memcpy operation takes 400 microsec... this
doesn't make sense, as the original scheme does a memcpy across the
user-kernel boundary and still manages to do the whole memcpy faster.
Why is this abnormal time for memcpy? Is it because of some special access
checks to read the device buffers? But I thought all these checks will be
avoided due to the mmap operation... so the memcpy shud be as though it
were occuring in the user space... which takes 25 microsec per 1460 bytes.
Someone please assist me in this problem...
Thanks,
nitin
