Re: shadow-4.1.4.3, process limits and fork bombs

2011-10-10 Thread Andrew Benton
Hello,

The good news is that current svn pkg-shadow works, it successfully
limits the number of processes (with PAM at least, I've not tried it
without PAM). The bad news is it has other problems, passwd works but
pwconv, grpconv and chpasswd all fail with errors like this:

chpasswd: nscd exited with status 1
chpasswd: Failed to flush the nscd cache.

Re: shadow-4.1.4.3, process limits and fork bombs

2011-10-10 Thread Andrew Benton
Sorry for the noise. My fault. Shadow-4.1.4.3 is working normally.
I've been using slim http://slim.berlios.de/ as a login manager run
from a bootscript run by init and it seems that it is not setting the
limits. If I login at the command prompt shadow sets the limits. The
reason I thought shadow-4.0.18.1 was working and shadow-4.1.4.3 wasn't
was because when I built the system with shadow-4.0.18.1 I tested it at
the command prompt before I built xorg.
Sorry for the noise. Mea culpa.

 I would like to know if it is possible to download the lfs 7rc1, (due to 
 internet restrictions) complete packages in 1 tar ball, I do realise 
 that there maybe changes in the book to some of the packages, but I 
 would have the majority of the packages.

I recommend the current -dev version of the book.  That will turn into 
-rc2 shortly.

The packages are not quite ready to upload, but you can check the 
mirrors at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/download.html#packages
