CD-RW on Linux

2000-01-29 Thread Yaacov Fenster - System Engineering Troubleshooting and other miracles
We are trying to put together a new Linux system with a CD-RW (Multi) on it. However, the various suppliers have a dearth of information about the CD-RW's imported to Israel. It goes something like this: We have the HP 9210i, which is the best around, but we don't know what MMC compatibility is.

The tcp wrapper software's function is to provide application-indipendent access control to inetd-based servers. If you look at /etc/inetd.conf you can see something like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/tcpd ftpd -A -l telnet stream tcp nowait root

I have never used qpopper, and therefore do not know if it has built-in support for tcp wrappers, but you if performence is not that much of an issue (i.e., this is not a machine servicing thousands of users per minute), just stick it in inetd and launch thru tcpd. Aviram Jenik wrote: Hi.

Actually, my reasoning against using this method on a loaded machine is not due to any problem with tcpd, but rather with inetd. Linking qpopper against libwrap and using tcp wrappers that way is just fine even for loaded machines, but inetd is just too costly in these situations (forking a

Getting kind of OT here, so in short... I won't be correcting you in regards to qpopper (I don't know it), but it's a well-established practice that you should not run heavily used services out of inetd, as it likes to barf at high loads (esentially cutting off all the services running from

As far as I know new kernels does not write the correct time to the bios clock every 11 min even if the system has a good time reference (ntp or such). This is contrary to what older kernels used to do. Can someone give a good reference to prove whether I am right or wrong? I tried the kernel
