Shermanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Locked Directory for floppy CDROM Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 07:31:54 - I'm not sure this is a kernal question or a file system one but I cannot access my CDROM nor my floppy. I recently loaded Mandrake Linux v8.0. All went well for about 2 weeks and then, for some reason unknown to me, when I attempt to access my CDROM or floppy, I get an error message You do not have enough permissions to read file:/mnt/floppy. The file type column displayed by konqueror says locked directory. I suspect I somehow shut down LINUX while these devices were busy and the condition hasn't been cleared. Any suggestions short of re-installing would be appreciated. I am a total novice to LINUX but have 30+ years experience with mainframe OSs. Thanks.

What about the idea of registering an interest in changes in a resource by certain processes inside the kernel, and when the change happens, put the interest element onto a queue to go into the dispatcher? Then run the process (in the kernel) when the change happens

The rmmod works with the name of the driver without .o suffix. So in you load
it with
insmod driver.o
you must remove with
rmmod driver
Have the .o works for me:
[root@dualpritest dvg]# rmmod mvclni2sngl.o
[root@dualpritest dvg]#
It's strange. It doesn't work for me with .o. It says that driver.o doesn't
exist.

Excluding libm from libc makes sense if it allows you to build
executables which don't have any floating point code in them
at initialization time. Such executables run faster since the
kernel can notice this and won't bother swapping the floating
point registers on each context switch.
right, but if libm were available and you used nothing from it, would
it still link in? could you make it do the right thing?

Have a look at the `export' command in the bash manpage.

news:38fabdf5$0$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Okay, I assume this must be possible, otherwise nobody would be using
UNIX.
Anyways, running Mandrake Linux 7.0 at home. I was thinking, how would you
make a program run on a specified port?
E.g. in /etc/inittab, you have an entry that respawns getty on tty1 to
tty6.
I want to do something like that, just on a specified port.
E.g. let's say I wrote a special getty program. I want it to sit on port
200, waiting for connections. Do I have to write the program to
specifically
open a port, or can I use some script somewhere to get the program's stdin
to be changed to a port???
Any help appreciated
Take a look at inetd, it will start a program and set up stdin as input from
your socket and stdout as output to your socket. You have to add an entry
to inetd.conf I believe, but that's about it.
