Re: C programming: Segmentation fault within malloc?
Have you tried to look at the value sizeof(struct node)? It might be too big.
Otherwise, can you show us the backtrace in gdb.

[OT] CVSSearch: A new search tool for code
Hi, Sorry about the OT post. Since debian uses cvs internally, so this may benefit debian in the future if you find this tool useful. CVSSearch searches for code fragments using CVS comments. Specifically, it takes advantage of the fact that a CVS comment describes the lines of code involved in the commit and that this description will typically hold for many future versions. We would be really appreciated if you could take a short time to try out our demo at: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~amichail/cvssearch/ and fill out the short survey so that we can improve our tool based on your suggestions. You can also just reply to me for any suggestions, improvements and your view of the tool. CVSSearch is developed by research staff and some students at the University of New South Wales, where the recent Australia Linux Conference was held. The tool will be released under GPL. Your feedback will be an invaluable source for us to improve this tool.

Joerg,
I use 2 ways
1) The ps route is good if you have lots of ps figures.
pslatex filename.tex
dvips filename -o
ps2pdf filename.ps
the pslatex embeds the fonts for you, it is like using
\usepackage{times}. the ps2pdf results are better this way. you can
then also use the psfrag package for example (which works with dvips).
OR..
2) only refer to your images without the extension.
\includegraphics{filename}
then convert all your images to pdf using the eps2pdf perl script
(came with potato).
eps2pdf *.ps
now run pdflatex and your graphics will be included.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the script. Unfortunately, psmerge does not work for me.
The two postscript files are very different. One is generated from a
sgml document and the other one is from latex using the {report}
class.
Really, I just want to make this sgml document part of the appendix
of the latex document. But I don't know how to convert sgml to
latex, then include it, so I tried to merge the two PS files, but
then I will loose all the pages numbers etc...

Re: C programming
Hi,
With your program, if you print out some values of x and y, you
can see that y become very very small after a couple of
iterations.
When y is too small, the following statement become true:
z = x+y, z == x because y is too small and is ignored due to the
fact that you declared z as double.
therefor, (z=x+y, zx) and (x+yx) are different looping
conditions.
if you declare z as long double z then it should give you the
same result.
Regards,
Shao.

wired error when compiling 2.2.16
Hi, 2.2.16 compiles fine on my woody boxes, but having problems on a potato box. I have recently upgraded an old box from hamm-potato. But when I try to compile 2.2.16, after make menuconfig, it creates a symbolic link asm - asm-i386 in /usr/src/linux. I have checked the kernel source on my woody box, and this symbolic link should stay in /usr/src/linux/include. Due to this, the kernel will not compile, I manually moved it to /usr/src/linux/include and it seems working fine. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

a central script to choose what daemons to start
Hi, Is there any script out there that will let me to choose what services to start by default? For instance, I would like to have apache installed on my laptop, but I don't want to start it everytime I boot up. Editing /etc/init.d/* won't help me much because then I will have to change it everytime I upgrade the package. The ppp's init script uses the file /etc/ppp/ppp-on-boot, to detect whether to start pppd at boot time, wouldn't it be great if we have a some kind of similar file, like /etc/default-daemon, which all the init scripts will check that file to determine whether to start or not?

help with web security
Hi,
I am setting up an automated registration system where the cgi
scripts need to do the following:
1. add a new user to the system and write to passwd files
2. update dns, restart named
3. update httpd.conf, restart httpd
4. update qmail conf, restart qmail-{..}
5. many more...
Now, to do all of this, surely I need root access. However,
there is no way I can configure apache to run as root, and
suEXEC won't help me much because it affectively runs that
virtual webserver as root.
So how do I achieve this while still enforce good security?
One idea that I have is, let apache(cgi scripts) to write to a
file with all the necessary information, and then have crontab
to run the program as root to read this info and do all the update...
Thanks for any help in advance.
Shao.

Re[3]: Simple Text Editor with Synatx highlighting?
Hi,
The worst case that I have seen in vim, is the multiline regexp
with quotes in it. And it is even worse if I only want to match
the beginning quote. See example below:
$hello =~ s{
\hello world
}{
hello
}gex;
Anyone have a solution for this? This really prevents me using
this nice perl feature.

Vim. I've not seen a problem with its highlighting that didn't also
improve the readability of my code when I got in the habit of getting it to
colorize right. The /only/ perl construct I know of that doesn't work is
something like this:
if ($foo =~ /bar\/blam/){
}
Vim would see the \/, see a / and mess up the colorization right there.
However, this fixes it:
if ($foo =~ m/bar\/blam/){
}
Adding the m works fine. To me, explicitly stating a match is no big deal
for me. If course, I also use parens like a zealot but bouncing on the % key
is so much fun.
foreach $file (sort(keys(%files))){
}
:)
One downside of vim that I just remembered, be careful the need for
slamming the ESC key. Windows likes to think it means shut this window NOW!
and if you have the confirmation turned off you lose messages in your Windows
email client. Normally I don't wack the ESC key unless I am doing code. See
above. ;)

Re: encrypted perl scripts
Hi,
I still think it is encrypted. You can tell that Joey's
signature is proper perl code. But the one I posted is not. It
uses Filter::decrypt to process it, which makes it very slow.
I wish there is someway that I can get the original source back.

#!/usr/bin/perl -nietianmsurwdkgohvf_l_pjbxcyzq --. --- - .--. . .-.
.-..
y/-. //cd;for$^(split){for$b(1..80){$_=int($b/27).$b/9%3 .$b/3%3 .$b#
by JH
%3;/[12]0/||do{y/120/.-/d;$^eq$_print substr$^I,$c,1;$c++}}$c=0} #
and RC
The similarities are astounding!

Re: Mutt configuration
Erik van der Meulen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi, I love Mutt as an e-mail client. A few things I have not been able
to sort out yet. Any suggestions would be welcome.
- I would like to have prober IMAP support. I use Mutt on a local
machine, for remote access I use Netscape (IMAP) over LAN, and IMP
(also IMAP) over Internet. I have not been able to get Mutt to do
proper IMAP. Rumours about a new release with improved functionallity
are circulating...
in Mutt 1.12, IMAP works ok for me. Try the following:
mailboxes = {your.imap.server}$HOME/mail/incoming
If all of your mails are getting from the IMAP sever, then you
can even:
set folder = {your.imap.server}
then you can do imap folder browsing as well.
- I would like to be able to use a different name in the From: line than
my linux account name. My account is 'erik', but I have an alias
e.van.der.meulen. How do I get Mutt to default to the last?
try(this is what I have):
set realname = Shao Zhang
my_hdr my_hdr From: $realname \[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Is there some way to set return receipts in Mutt? I thing I have been
able to do this once, but cannot get it right again.

Re: glibc package
Hi, Unforunately, this is not the case. In this case, libc *Pre* depends on deibanutils, and debianutils *Pre* depends on libc. I have already submitted a bug report against libc.

This will work fine if you put them both on the same command line, e.g. 'dpkg --install libc*.deb debianutils*.deb'. Note that lots of things might have explicit dependencies on the older version of libc6, and other things might not have declared dependencies but will break anyways with the newer libc; if you have the bandwidth and don't mind some potential brokenness, it might be worth upgrading to the frozen preparing-for-release potato distribution (if you're using APT, change stable to frozen in /etc/apt/sources.list). -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.

So it is clear that the new version of g++ is much more restrictive, but I still prefer it will give me a clear error message so that I know there is something wrong... Also, why are you using g++? All this looks like C code, and your source file ends in a lowercase 'c'. The C++ compiler should handle it properly, of course, but I've seen (and can post, if you want) some examples of valid C code that won't compile in a C++ compiler. I don't know how g++/gcc handle situations like this, but it seems a bit suspicious to me. The code was originally written by someone else, and I had to modify it. It uses a whole bunch of libraries written in C. And I am too lazy to port it to C++. So I had to use both gcc and g++.

C++ question
Hi,
I have posted this to comp.lang.c++, but hope someone here can
help me as well. Thanks.
=
I have a c++ program that compiles fine with
earlier version of g++, but it no longer compiles with
the newsest release 2.95.2.
Here is the relevant bit of code:
typedef struct List
{
void**hd; /* first item */
void**cr; /* current item */
void**tl; /* last item */
void**mx; /* max item before growing is required
*/
int grow_size;
} List;
Some macros defined:
#define fast_list_first(l) ((l l-hd)? *(l-cr = l-hd) : 0)
#define fast_list_last(l) ((l l-hd)? *(l-cr = l-tl) : 0)
And a Function like this:
void lfree(List *l)
{
void *item;
for (item=fast_list_first(l); item != NULL;
item=fast_list_last(l))
###-delete item;
}
When compiled with g++(2.95.2), it failed with this:
[line 55 is the line marked with arrows above]
% g++ -g -c misc.c
misc.c: In function `void lfree(List *)':
misc.c:55: warning: `void *' is not a pointer-to-object type
It gives me the warning message, but no .o file is created, and
if I put it in a makefile, it results:
% make misc.o
g++ -g -c misc.c
misc.c: In function `void lfree(List *)':
misc.c:55: warning: `void *' is not a pointer-to-object type
make: *** [misc.o] Error 1
Thanks for any help in advance.
Shao.

Re: C++ question
Bryan Scaringe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
It is my understandng that in order for C++ to delete a
dynamically-allocated
object, that object need to have been created via new.
That said, I'd like to see the code where you do the allocation.
You are right. the memory allocation is done using calloc. Somthing like
this:
void**new_hd = (void**)calloc(1, (list_count(l) + l-grow_size) *
sizeof(void*));
So I replaced delete with free, and g++ seems happy again. But it still
fails with some of the warning messages.
Eg. if I compile with this:
$ g++ -g -c misc.c
misc.c: In function `char * cash(double, int, int)':
misc.c:44: implicit declaration of function `int bracket(...)'
misc.c:45: implicit declaration of function `int comma(...)'
The output is exactly the same with the newest g++ version, and older
g++. But the difference is that the older version will create a .o file
and the new version will not. And I can only see an error message when
they are compiled using make.
Shao.
Also, you may need to type-cast the void pointer. The new compiler version
may be more picky about that sort of thing (though if that's the case it
should
be a warning, not an error).
The comp.lang.c++ people will peobably be more helpful though.
If you do get a response, could you forward me a copy? thanks.

Re: Newbie's experience Installing Debian
Darrington, John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, so after 5 years of playing with slackware and Red Hat, I decide that my next OS will be Debian --- I've seen the web page, and like the philosophy and want to get started. The usenet reports that Debian is so difficult to install can't all be true can they? Unfortunately I've found they are. Good. You made the right move. I switched from redhat two years ago, and never regret. Not knowing much about Debian I look on the web site for advice. I find this: `It is recommended that first time installers buy the CD set as the installation is more straightforward. Many of the vendors sell the distribution for less than US$5 plus shipping (check their web page to see if they ship internationally). ' Fine I think US$5 == AUD8 plus let's say $10 for postage, I should be able to get going for $18. Well I don't want to wait weeks for a shipment from the US, so I phone my local software shop and ask them if they stock Debian 2.1 . Yes, they have a 2 CD set for $25. Great says I . I don't really mind paying an extra $7. The shop's got to make an honest profit, and I Hmm, that is a bit expensive. I spent $11.00 to get my first Debian Hamm 2.0 CD from LSL, but that was including the postage fee. Now in sydney, there is a shop called everythingLinux(www.everythinglinux.com.au), and I think you can get it for about $5.00. Choose Debian archive path. Please choose the path inside the CD-ROM where the Debian archive resides and the default appears to be /debian. I choose the default, not having any other information. Then comes: Pleae select the directory containing the file resc1440tecra.bin I agree this is something that debian should be improved. It is a bit confusing. But from memory, press ENTER should just do it. This stumps me. How the hell should I know where that is? Being a resourcefull character I back out of the menu wait until the CD is unmounted, and place it in another machine and search for this file. It's located at /debian/boot So back into the install procedure I go, enter /debian/boot at the appropriate place. It seems to be denying the existence of this file. --- but wait it's actually wanting the location of a file with a similar name drv1440tecra.bin. I don't know where that is? I see there is an option `list' which automatically detects it so I try that. Apparently it's not there. Back to my other machine, and do a find . Sure enough it's not there. What do I do now? I press F1 like the start up screen told me. nothing happens. I turn to the book. No hints. I spend the next 2 hours rebooting and trying every possible path though the menu. including mounting the CD manually and pointing the install process to the archives. It still wants this non-existent file. Once again, you should be able to just press ENTER. It's time to conclude that perhaps my hardware has some funny configuration which this CD doesn't support. So, I borrow a machine and try again. Exactly the same symptoms. Well, I don't think it is the hardware problem. Even if you have passed the above two steps, you will still have to face dselect, which a lot of people had trouble with it. So after 2 days and $65 I have not managed to get even a login prompt. For that price I could have got RedHat 6.1. It's quite a demoralising experience. Are these problems common in Debian installation or is it just me ?? Keep trying! You will eventually get there. Once you get your box up and running, you will never have to go thru this process again, the powerfull apt-get will fix up everything for you in the future. -- Shao Zhang - Running Debian 2.1 ___ _ _ Department of Communications/ __| |_ __ _ ___ |_ / |_ __ _ _ _ __ _ University of New South Wales \__ \ ' \/ _` / _ \ / /| ' \/ _` | ' \/ _` | Sydney, Australia |___/_||_\__,_\___/ /___|_||_\__,_|_||_\__, | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |___/ _

CPU question
Hi, I am going to set up a new server which will serve pretty much everything except www. At the moment, it has a P166, and the load avg is around about 5. The highest once reached to 22.

If I use the US Robotics V90's initialise command ATF, I am able to get the line speed 46600, but then failed to authentificate with the remote end. What does not make sense is that, the TX rate is so much slower than RX rate. Thanks. Shao.

Shao. The only other shell tool you need is man :) This will only find files with the exactly or rounded same size. It does not give me the option to specify to print out files OVER a certain size. Shao. From find(1) -size n[bckw] File uses n units of space. The units are 512-byte blocks by default or if `b' follows n, bytes if `c' follows n, kilobytes if `k' follows n, or 2-byte words if `w' follows n. The size does not count indirect blocks, but it does count blocks in sparse files that are not actually allocated.

It depends. If you want your system clock(the time you see in linux) to be exactly the same as your hardware clock(The time kept in your computer), then no. YOu can just delete them. If you want those two times to be different. Then yes. Another question: What command do I have to use in order to set the clock up? To set your hardware clock: hwclock --set --date=the current time; Now, transfer your hardware clock to your system clock: hwclock --hctosys Now, you system clock should be the exactly the same as your hardware clock.

cannot run pgps in a cgi script under apache

It is only accessible within a private network and all traffic is SSL encrypted. So I guess it is pretty secure. well reading shadow password files from apache is bad anyway (i assume for htaccess?) since it allows very fast and mostly it is not for htaccess. It is mainly used for setting up acounts which invovles writing as well. unstoppable password cracking efforts on your system password files, you might as well just unshadow the passwords since any additional protection offered by shadow passwords is completely undone by letting apache read them. True. But it is still only readable to root which means apache as well. Again, apache is sitting in our private network. A machine with good security should be that, given the root passwd of that machine, it is still uncrackable. Again, I know this is a security hole. But in this case, I really need it, and which is why apache src offers a configuration option to allow run as root.
