[Cooker] pam_console shared library for devfsd
At weekend I tried shared library that implements pam_console for single
file via CFUNCTION interface. It works in the sense it does not crash
and it changes permissions (I could try only ide-scsi CD-ROM and sound
as these are almost the only devices I can remove/add drivers for).
Implementation is dirty as it was just proof of concept - I copied
pam_console_apply.c over, removed options processing and added two
functions to (re-)set permissions on single file modeled after
set_permissions and reset_permissions.
Some notes
- console.perms has to be extended of course. If we apply pam_console on
REGISTER then /dev/cdrom* are never registered - but
/dev/{ide,scsi}/*/*/*/*/cd are. It is possible to use /dev/cdroms/* BUT
for the current symlink bug in devfs - it resulted in lockup at least
once. Besides, I am not sure in which order they get registered, so I'd
prefer full unambiguous path. The same applies to generic SCSI of
course.
- pam_console_apply is using "tty0" for a console name. It means, if
user logged in on X, there are chances some devices (belonging to X
console class) will be scipped. When it is used as pam_console.so, it
knows true console name from PAM; it is possible that pam_console.so
saves console name after successful logon for later use and removes it
on logout
- of course, there is a possibility of stray console lock files after
crash so it needs to be cleaned upo after /var is mounted rw but before
pam)_console_aply is called.
Currently I have it as separate library; I wonder if it possible to just
dlopen executable (I think about pam_console_apply).
If there is any interest I could send just current diff. It is possible
to optimize a bit (by avoiding globbing when we know there is just a
single file and not a pattern). There does not seem to be any memory
leak for all I can tell.

[Cooker] hackkernel!
Who will be maintaining it now (when), and will you ensure (TTBOYA) peaceful coexistence with (standard issue) kernel? This is mainly a matter of proper installkernel-age. /* Gearing up for 3.0 */

Regardless, a lot of things _do_ need to be updated. Seems cooker has decided instead of being a devel trunk, to let debian-stable (potato) catch up :).

Hi, I put two new packages in incoming/ First the current version (0.17) of gtk-gnutella. It worked the whole week-end here, so it looks like it is stable. Next is sndstretch, a cool plugin for xmms that can change the pitch (tuning) or the speed (beat) independently. It sounds like it works better as an audio output plugin than as an effect (both are included. Not perfect but quite useful if you're trying to follow an Hendrix solo. $ rpm -qpi sndstretch_xmms-0.5-1mdk.src.rpm Name: sndstretch_xmms Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 0.5 Vendor: (none) Release : 1mdk Build Date: Sun 11 Nov 2001 11:08:39 PM PST Install date: (not installed) Build Host: dsktop.net.home Group : Sound Source RPM: (none) Size: 63359License: GPL URL : http://www.geocities.com/harpin_floh/sndstretch_page.html Summary : XMMS plugin to adjust pitch and speed separately. Description : sndstretch_xmms is an xmms plugin to adjust pitch and speed separately with two sliders. sndstretch can be compiled as an effect-plugin, with one major drawback * the time and the visual plugins don't synchronize with the song and a very basic oss-output-plugin with some limitations: * no additional effect support built in (at least not yet). * the mixer device and pcm device are fix coded as "/dev/mixer" and "/dev/dsp" * the effect is written for normal signed short and will probably only work if xmms plays such data. =-= kk1

Charset was not set to iso-8859-7 though, either on KDE or Kmail, which is the default for the greek charset. How can I help for greek fonts plus, charset to be included on the next version? - mike
