Quoting Shachar Shemesh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


 I have not checked this particular site, but the symptoms sound
 identical to a problem I've seen not long ago. It seems that when you
 tell IE (and maybe konqi) to look for a function in the parent, it will
 also look for it in other children of the parent. If you have address A
 that opens in frame B and C, in IE you can, from C, call
 parent.func(), where parent.func is defined in B. If anyone can find
 me the exact clause in the docs that this violates, however, I'll be
 much obliged.

I don't know what happened to the list yesterday, and why my message didn't
arrive. In that message, I mentioned the reason for the problem, and that is the
use of document.all (tfu!).

First thing to do when you suspect a bogus Javascript is to go to Mozilla's
Tools menu, and from Web development choose Javascript Console. Clear
whatever's in it, then click the problem button. Any errors will appear in the
console. I can't imagine how people can live with browsers that don't have this
feature...

AFAIU, it seems there is possible issue with certain provisions of the 
Israeli law that governs allocation of funds via the Ministry of Science 
Chief Scientist to Israeli high tech companies and the GPL -

The law has the very sensible provision that companies that receive such 
funcding from the Chief Scientist cannot sell or give their IP to 
foriegn companies or bodies, so that said companies wont the do the old 
open an Israeli subsdiary, get funds from MOS to develop IP, sell them 
for 1$ to home company trick or variations thereof.

However, this may have certain implication with the GPL obligation to 
license copyright of software that is derivative work of GPLed software. 
The help of the chief scientist and staff is needed to make this issue 
clearer.

And yes, we (as in hamakor), has offered the FSF our help in this matter 
before, via RMS. It seems the SMTP monster gotten our mail though :-)
I'll be sending another email to Bradly shortly...

AFAIK, there will be support for serial ATA only in the new kernel 2.6 which is
supposed to come out Any Day Now.

Even when it comes out, it won't be much help because the installer is built
with the old kernel, so you have a chicken and egg problem.

basic SATA support is available since 2.4.19 or 20 , IIRC.  RedHat9 should be 
able to support Serial ATA drives - but only if the controller is set to 
legacy mode.
same for Windows XP, BTW.

XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server

2003-07-16 Thread Nathan Fain
I have a SuSE8.1 system installed with the XFree86 4.3.0 packages from
SuSE for 8.1 and KDE 3.1 on top of that.  50% of the times that I run an
application we wrote I get the following error:
XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ebony:0.0
 after 14 requests (13 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
then that is it and it exits.  The other 50% of the time it runs
perfectly.  NOTE: I compiled the application using gcc3.1.  If I compile
it on a SuSE7.1 system with the SuSE X 4.2.0 packages and then run it on
a SuSE8.1 system it works fine.  Also note: this happens on all of the
SuSe8.1 system I have (about 20 or so) so it can't be specific to Video
card (they all have various cards).  Bellow is the last lines of an
strace on the application.  Note: DRI is setup and working and loads
just fine from the looks of the X log.
Any clues??

Re: dhcpd M$ active directory

 Hi All

What do you mean by that ?
Are you asking whether DHCP clients will be able to dynamically register
in the DNS ? 
If that is the question, then the answer is yes, but there is a catch:
you will probably end up with BIND (version = 9.0) as DNS server.

The caveat is that if you want to do it right, you must have the DHCP
server dynamically register the client at the DNS server (DDNS).
W2K and XP clients can be configured to register in the DNS by
themselves, but 9X and NT are not smart enough and if the DHCP server
will not register them in DNS, they will end up unresolvable through
DNS.

As far as I know, Linux DHCP server might have problems dynamically
registering clients in MS DNS (depends whether the DNS is AD
integrated). With BIND, of cause, there is no problem.

The best solution would be:
1) Setup BIND and configure it as SOA for the DNS namespace (Master for
domain.com)

2) Delegate the AD specific zones to MS DNS (_msdcs.domain.com,
_sites.domain.com, etc...) to keep the AD Domain Controllers happy when
registering SRV records securely (the zones can be AD integrated [1]).

3) Configure DHCP on Linux so that it will update BIND on behalf of DHCP
clients. 

Actually that is how my home network is setup. The DHCP/DNS is on Linux 
and my Active Directory is more then happy

The whole process is not that complicated, but you must watch out when
transferring the DNS to Linux - if you do not do it right, the AD will
not like it.


[1]: When zone is AD integrated, it's data is stored in AD DB and not in
plain text files (backup your AD !)
AD integrated zone con be configured to accept only secure updates: it
will accept dynamic updates only from a computer with valid machine
account in AD (appears there as an object).
From security point of view, it's a good idea to let AD specific zones
accept only secure updates - you do not want people start registering
their own Kerberos or LDAP SRV records.

Guy

Hebrew Input For Remote Display

2003-07-16 Thread Aharon Schkolnik

Under RH8 I had Hebrew working just fine on my machine.
I was using KDE's keyboard layout.
I just upgraded to RH9 (with KDE 3.1.2), and now it doesn't work.

I discovered from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kde-il/message/206
that the keyboard configuration under RH9 seems completely broken.

So, I tried using the suggested Xkb workaround -

/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap -compat group_led -symbols \
us(pc101)+il+group(alt_shift_toggle)+group(switch) 

That worked fine (I can switch back and forth between Hebrew and
English), except for the thing I need it for most:

I need to run an application on a remote (VMS) machine, displaying on my
machine, which needs Hebrew input. I am unable to get Hebrew input in
the window from the remote machine. To be completely clear: 
If I telnet to the remote machine, and then create another window
displayed on my machine, and then switch to Hebrew, I get Hebrew in
the telnet session, but no Hebrew in the remotely displayed window.
This was working fine under RH8, and in fact if I use KDE's broken
keyboard utility under RH9 I do get Hebrew in the remotely displayed
window (just can't get back to English, since it's broken).

Is there some setxkbmap option I need to know about ?
Is there some logical explanation for what is going on ?
Can anyone help me ?

TIA.

why do you expect to be able to tunnet 'ftp' like that? ftp sends only 
commands via port 21. data is sent via a seperate connection (data is both 
the output of 'ls', and files you transfer with 'get' or 'put'). 

it looks like you _might_ be able to do what you wanted, _if_ your could 
force the 'data' port to always be the same port on the remote machine, 
and then tunnel that port too via ssh. if this is possible, perhaps 
someone on the list can show us how to do that.

 Hi all,

 I bought a wifi card to take travelling and wanted to test it before I
 leave. Does anyone know of any public wifi access points in Israel?


Some of the Coffee Bean places, and some of the Arcafe places. 
However, when connecting to a public AP from Linux, don't forget to bring your 
war-driving toolkit:

- network stumbling tool
- WiFi sniffer (kismet will do)
- Internet Explorer on WINE

In Arcafe, for example, you will receive a Windows CD with a special 
installation program. I didn't install it (don't have Win), but I can only 
assume it configures your WiFi card - this can be done under by getting the 
SSID using a network stumbler and getting the valid IP range using a sniffer 
(unless you're lucky and a DHCP is available. I wasn't that lucky).

Internet Explorer needs to be used on public hotspots where authentication is 
web based (haven't seen those in Israel, but it's the common hotspot 
authentication mechanism abroad). Many of those authentication gateways 
simply hijack your browser to the authentication page. Konquerrer and 
mozilla seem to be less hijackable than IE, and therefore you may need IE 
for some hotspots.

And of course, if you already have these tools installed, you might want to 
broaden the definition of public WiFi AP...
