[Cooker] win32 for 9.1?

Damian Gatabria wrote: The screensaver mod would detect the X instance losing focus and immediately throw the screensaver into a mode where it locked the session until it again achieved focus, then whoever focussed on the session would need to know the user's password to be able to get past the screensaver. Uhm...if you use GDM's New Login thing, this is what it does...it blocks the previous X session with xscreensaver, you need a password to get back into the previous session(s). Yep. But the previous poster is talking about doing this every time you switch to another tty. Which would be, IMHO, a terrible idea, since every user with two bits of experience goes to a text console to compile stuff or to run things, and switch back and forth continuously. No, all you really want is it to automatically lock the screen if you choose something like New session somewhere on the menu. We're not talking about hacking XFree86 to lock the screen every time you hit CTRL-ALT Likewise the text console mod would blank the console when it lost focus, and demand a password before unblanking when focus returned. I really don't think this is necessary, if you want to resume your console sessions, use screen.

[Cooker] patching qt to support foreign cursors
Hallo guys, Qt tends to replace many user-defined cursors with its own internal cursors. This is annoying, as the only cursor theme that would look complete and coherent is qt own theme, which is not that eyecandy. Having qt handling cursors properly is quite easy: qt source must be patched with this diff I'm attaching, and configured with the -xcursor option. Why shouldn't qt be repackaged to allow this improvement?

If Protocol A is broken on one client it may work on another better. Support for various protocols and their functionality differs greatly between programs. This is an important point. Protocols have a tendency of changing to try and lock third-party clients out every now and again, and as Ben says, we have more redundancy against this with lots of clients. Ultimately, we're in a situation where none of these apps are really best of breed. They all have their trade offs, so I would error on the side of being overly inclusive in this situation than not. I don't know about gaim not being designed for multiple protocols. It can be a bit of a pain to set them all up originally, loading the appropriate plugins then adding accounts, but once you've done that you can set them all to autologin. I have all my conversations on all networks set to appear in one tabbed window, I hardly notice what network other people are on any more. -- adamw

I wonder if you (or anyone) has any experience in the windows migration kit by Jaques Gelinas? Not really, but I assume it's similar to the smbldap-migrate.pl perl script we have in samba, and the stuff Michael Brown did. The thing is that samba3 has something which can do the majority of this without having to run anything on a windows box. # urpmi samba3-common # net3 rpc vampire (it's supposed to be 'net rpc vampire', and will be once samba-3.0.0 is out) If I were to try this, I would setup one new samba box, and then sync data across with rysnc, and extract and set ACLs from the windows box, and then switch it, using a 'netbios aliases' to have the old name point to the new samba box. Format the original win2k server, and use it for the next one. But then again I normally don't make 200 shares on a windows box like some people do (normally you shouldn't need more than about 20 IMHO). However, I don't really have enough infrastructure to play with this at present, we only have one windows server here, and that's a production MSSQL (don't ask ...). I'm more interested in getting Mandrake 9.0 to work out-the-box using the network profiles as home dir ... but that's a lot more work since in win2k that info is stored in AD :-(. But IMHO the winbind stuff 9.0 had isn't bad. P.S. Does anyone know if the 'expert' authentication options in installation will be available in beta3?

[Cooker] kdm ( my 2 cents )

On Fri, 2003-01-31 at 03:42, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Merging preempt with current cooker is not really a problem. With the new XFS it is likely that it will work fine. The lock-breaking is a different issue (hasn't been updated since 2.4.18, and there are a few problems with that patch), perhaps I take a look at the real low-latency stuff, but no idea how well that merges with mdk kernel. Cool. I think gentoo is the only distro shipping a low latency kernel as the default. Also I've been trying to figure out how to get jack to work with FIFO. Apparently it requires a patched kernel?!? I'm no expert on this kind of low-level stuff. Danny, do you understand the implications of this message I got on the linux-audio list? I wish we could get jack to work as it is intended to...i.e. users (not root) get audio-on-demand... [SNIP] jackstart - requires the kernel be patched for 'capabilities', whatever that is. I don't seem to have that command. It is included in the jack tarball (but I would use current CVS). I do have jackd though. If I try to run jackd -R I get permission errors. I assume that is the problem? Yep. Is it not possible to run jackd as root, but run your application as a user? As Mark pointed out in a separate email, it is not possible. The capabilities patch is a 2 line kernel patch that starts init with a full set of capabilities (including CAP_SETPCAP, the ability to set capabilities on other processes). Capabilities are permissions to use certain calls or features of the kernel normally restricted to root only. For example, one of those capabilities is the ability of a process to change its own scheduler to SCHED_FIFO(*), or change other processes scheduler to SCHED_FIFO, something we need for reliable low latency sound i/o. An application of this is the jackstart program. Jackstart(**) is a small program that has to run suid root that grants jackd the capabilities that it needs to both go SCHED_FIFO itself and grant its clients the capabilities to go SCHED_FIFO (and a couple of other needed capabilities as well). Why is this patch not widely included in production kernels? There's a catch :-) The catch is that it becomes possible for a user level program to access the SCHED_FIFO scheduler ring (_necessary_ for reliable low latency sound). Which means a user program can lock the machine (by entering into an infinite loop while executing with SCHED_FIFO) and create a DOS vulnerability. Obviously the alternatives are even worse (unreliable low latency operation, or running everything as root) -- Fernando See also: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-2.4/capfaq-0.2.txt (*) see man sched_setscheduler for what this all means (**) I wrote jackstart, it is based on code and concepts found in sucap.c, written by Finn Arne Gangstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] and givertcap.c, written by Tommi Ilmonen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Givertcap is also included in the standard distribution of muse.

[Cooker] will secure kernel be secure in 9.1?
to remind - currently almost none of the security options in secure kernel are enabled by default - they have to be manually turned with sysctl. this makes secure kernel just faked promise. Installing it does not give any more security (well, a bit more) than in normal kernel. trusted, it can be enabled, but majority of people do not even know about it. I ask once more - the patch that enables all configured security settings is two lines. Ater that people can do what they wish - enable or disable at will, but it will boot up as secure as you have configured it. Please note, the problem affects MNF as well that by default does NOT run secure kernel at all. chmouel? warly? -andrey

Buchan also would depend on the design ( hardware wise ) of your network. if you are running through a *nix router/gateway/firewall from the server to the extranet, then the intranet ( local ) security can be lowered for internal use, without a major reduction in security overall. high tight security on external connection, lowered internal security to purchase the application speed /ease of use that increases productivity. 3d rendering eats cpu capacity, being able to keep as much free for rendering as possible speeds the process up. ( I have seen simple renders of a static scene from 3d mesh take 36+ hours, with only a high security setup. ( firewall / intrusion detection ) if the security level could be reduced on that workstation, then that same render would use less time to accomplish. this same concept will apply to sound editing as well as video compositing.

I have tried installing the latest player from macromedia, and have the same result.
