Re: (thoughts on) the mktemp() patch.
David Gilbert wrote: Maybe the soltion is to think out of the box. Maybe temporary filestore should be a more official OS service. Race conditions would be far less common if the OS itself was managing the namespace. You might even expand the capability somewhat. Provide process local, uid local and global namespaces. You'd even gain the ability to specify the limits on temporary filestore. We have an out of the box solution. But there are other software out there in the world that happens to use mktemp() and we have no control of. So we are trying to improve mktemp(). -- Daniel C.

IPv6, PCcard and rc scripts
I have put this at the end of pccard_ether:
case ${ipv6_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
ipv6_network_interfaces=${interface}
ipv6_default_interface=${interface}
. /etc/rc.network6
network6_pass1
;;
esac
It _sort of_ fixes the problem of what to do if you use IPv6 with
pccard Ethernet cards. The problem remaining is that the boot
stuff will still see ipv6_enable=YES and attempt to configure
an interface that is either nonexistent or already up.
I'm mentioning this because the issue needs some further thought.
I propose that the rc.network* scripts be touched up a bit so that
the export a per-interface setup function. This per-interface
function would be called once at startup for each interface or
once at pc-card insert/remove time, but never at both. Along with
this would be functions that happen purely at system startup
or after one or more grouped calls to the per-interface setup
function.
Comments?

I had to severely hack `pccard_ether' to make it able to deal with the radically different configurations required for wireless and wired network connections. (Specifically, my wireless uses DHCP but wired does not.)

No Subject
Support for VideoCD multilanguage cd9660?
Hello,
Are there any plans to implement subj? There were a couple of patches and
they still work fine (with some minor tweaking). But somehow any
discussions on these features seem to have died a while ago :-( Meanwhile,
they seem to be rather useful. For one, here in post-USSR countries lots
of CDs are made using Russian filenames in cp866 encoding.
In this respect, is there a way to concatenate "makeoptions" and/or
propagate them only to some of the modules? The problem is: I've modified
a wee bit Unicode patch for Joliet cd9660
(http://triaez.kaisei.org/~mzaki/joliet/ ) to build it into module,
but it requires options CHARSET_{EUC_JP,KOI8_R etc} to be specified. Since
we compile modules together with kernel, it would be nice to specify all
the nessessary options in config file. On the other hand, some of them
(like in this example) make sence only for some of the modules. Any ideas
how to do that?
Regards,
Vladimir

More problems with emu10k1 driver.
I tried to use it tonight, with the latest 4-stable. Well, it doesn't just silently panic any more, which is an improvement; I was able to get a core dump. I ran mpg123 to play an mp3; as soon as it tried to play the system panicked on an NMI. The dump shows the mpg123 process sleeping on "spread" down in spec_getpages(). I didn't see anything else interesting that I could interpret, but I can certainly grunge through the dump for anything that anyone else (particularly Cameron) might need. -- Frank Mayhar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://store.exit.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
