Re: svscan help
Hi, env: invalid option - - P ... env - PATH=$PATH svscan Is there really a blank between the - and the P of PATH? My env ignores any options behind the first -, e.g. $ env - -P PATH=/bin ls env: -P: No such file or directory $ env - PATH=/bin -P ls env: -P: No such file or directory and the only way to get the above message is by having $ env -PATH=/bin ls env: invalid option -- P Try `env --help' for more information. claudio -- Claudio Nieder, Kanalweg 1, CH-8610 Uster, Tel +41 79 357 6743 yahoo messenger: claudionieder aim: claudionieder icq:42315212 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.claudio.ch
Re: qmail-remote (cry wolf?)
Hi,
[Summary: Some systems leave the fd_sets alone when select times out.]
I think it isn't relevant. qmail-remote doesn't seem to use select,
It does. timeoutread.c:
int timeoutread(t,fd,buf,len) int t; int fd; char *buf; int len;
{
fd_set rfds;
struct timeval tv;
tv.tv_sec = t;
tv.tv_usec = 0;
FD_ZERO(rfds);
FD_SET(fd,rfds);
if (select(fd + 1,rfds,(fd_set *) 0,(fd_set *) 0,tv) == -1) return -1;
if (FD_ISSET(fd,rfds)) return read(fd,buf,len);
errno = error_timeout;
return -1;
}
When select returns -1 (error case) everything is fine. When select
returns 0, i.e. in the timeout case, read is called if select has
not cleared the fd bit out of rfds. So if there really exist OS
which do not clear the bits, then qmail will potentially block in
read on those OS.
As to different OS behaviour, Solaris 2.6 (and 7) both say:
and errorfds arguments are not modified. If the timeout
interval expires without the specified condition being true
for any of the specified file descriptors, the objects
pointed to by the readfs, writefs, and errorfds arguments
have all bits set to 0.
On Solaris the above code would work without flaws.
whereas SunOS 4.1.4 (my usual 'old bsd system' benchmark) says:
descriptor sets. 0 indicates that the time limit referred
to by timeout expired. On failure, select() returns -1,
sets errno to indicate the error, and the descriptor sets
are not changed.
It doesn't tell explicitly what it does when it returns 0, but as
it's mentioned only in the error case, that the bits are not cleared,
one supposes that in timeout situations they are cleared, and thus
qmail will not have any problems.

Re: MX question related to diff. A and MX record
Hi,
Create a file called e.g. "virtualdomains":
...
zone "virtual1.com" in { type master; file "virtualdomains"; }
Nice solution for not having to have n instances of the same stuff.
One thing still bothers me. This gets me n hosts with an A mapping to
the same IP-address, with the consequence, that the reverse-mapping
1.2.3.4 PTR will point to just one of the n hosts. What's the general
opinion on how "legal" this is?

I would have also attempted the MX/CNAME construct shown above, as domain.com MX server.xy.ch domain.com A IP address of web.xy.ch has the obvious disadvantage, that you replicate the ip address of web.xy.ch multiple times, once for each such virtual domain.
