RE: C++ lib compatibility between Red Hat 9 and 7.3
let me give you an example and if you have the resources try it. Get a audigy soundcard and build it with gcc 2.96 now see if it works. Take that same source and build it with a latter compiler and see if it builds. Take both sources to any linux machine and see if it works. Even better build some of the kernels with the old compiler and see if they work, take those same kernels and build with the latest compiler and see if they still work. My point is you don't know what you're going to get and if it's going to work with the compiler you select and throw in hardware and you have a even bigger problem.

Otto is a troll. Let's stop feeding him.

Look at it this way. You should be able to move a c++ (not g++) compiler to any version of RH and it works!!! LIB's and all period, no explanation needed. Fact, it doesn't. The question is why. The explanation is that it Actually, it does. If you were to use the same version of g++ on RH9 that was used in RH7, and use the same libraries, it would work fine. is native to c++ and only c++ was stated. I was pointing out that actually it is a problem of the community that I believe is related to the resources available to the developers. The individual in question made a statement that effectively, it should be accepted without complaints and I said and I still say that is dumb. This needs to be fixed to where anyone can select a new compiler and not worry that it will break everything else and you need Now that C++ has been standardized and the standard is fairly fixed, you will start to see this happen. Multiple vendors have finally agreed upon on ABI. Yes, it is specific to C++, because the standard was in flux and there wasn't vendor agreement. resources to test it against all previous versions. If you don't then no one will accept open community software period. That is one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen. Now matter what your opinion is of it, many people have obviously accepted community software. To ignore that is to be ignorant.

RE: C++ lib compatibility between Red Hat 9 and 7.3
What he's wanting is a standard C++ ABI. However, no operating system I'm aware of offers one. There are standard ABIs for other languages such as Objective-C (NeXT and Mac OS X) and C# (new windows) and Java (Sun), but I haven't seen a standard C++ ABI for Windows. Their ABIs are C-based. I think what you wanted is to link using -static and you forgot :) For an example of a great proprietary app that works great on many, many, many, many Linux distros, check out Mathematica. The key is the build process and installer - choice of compiler has little to do with it. The same Mathematica binaries run on pretty much every Linux out there. Jon On Thu, 16 Oct 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The above attitude is the one that causes people to worry about using linux period. Look at this way, you decide to drop Microsoft and go to linux, for whatever reasons. You get there and decide to use version 7.3 and build your apps using the default compiler that comes with 7.3. You get everything working with some effort. Some A.H. comes along and says you ought to upgrade to version 9 and you do and get the default compiler with that version and in order to take advantage of the new version you rebuild all of your apps and they neither compile and definitely won't run. This is the non-technical person that does that. He did it all the time with the other OS (MS), but this new and great OS doesn't allow him to do something simple without causing him grief. That's the problem that RH has faced with open source and it is the reason that large numbers of common users will not make the switch. First for the record I tried moving a large groups of apps from unix to windows many years ago I worked through many of the compatiblity problems, but gave up becauses windows kept crashing while I was trying to run their compilier I moved to linux instead it was a breeze. I missed the begining of the thread but if you wanted help changeing the code to meet the standard so it will compile you need to list the error and ask about what is needed. I know a year ago some one moved from 7 to 8 and ask the list about programs failing to compile with the error undeclared function cout the fix was easy you just had to add the line using namespace std; after the includes I know this is a minor hassle but not really a big deal, and when I update I'll have to do it too. It is true that in a perfect world upgrades wouldn't break what is working however sometimes to improve you have to choose and it breaks things. Just to show this is not limited to linux, I have a new winxp computer I use to work with photo I was not happy to discover that the scanner and embrodery card writer do not work with XP luckily I still had a computer that ran win98 as the embrodery software hardware is a few thousand dollars and no longer supported. I can run compiled old versions of software if I keep the old version of the library on Linux for instance I still run Word Perfect that ran with RH 6.0 without any problems. If you think you can upgrade without any hassles or surprises in any operating system you are living in a dream world. That is why most of us try it first at home before we upgrade critical systems.

Re: C++ lib compatibility between Red Hat 9 and 7.3
The obvious question is of course: Why not? Because of variations within C++, especially in regard to implementation of name mangling, default function attributes, implementation of classes, RTTI, etc. Anytime the standard changes, you have to change binary compatibility. Likewise, many new optimizations require binary differences. Since there hasn't until recently been a C++ binary standard, each compiler was free to implement the language however they wish, so if your first compiler compiles the function foo() as foo_returns_int() and another compiler compiles foo() as foo$intpp(), then applications compiled for one won't work for the other, because the function names would be different. In addition, to support RTTI, you need some method of determining types at runtime, which would require additional space in each class, which means that the library would be expecting an object of X size, when you send it an object of Y size. Exceptions are even nastier, because they _really_ slow down your code. Therefore, everyone is always trying to make that faster, each time breaking binary compatibility.

RE: C++ lib compatibility between Red Hat 9 and 7.3
No, the problem is specific to C++. It isn't even specific to open-source, it's specific to C++. Other non-open-source C++ compilers have the same problems. You don't have the same problem with C. You don't have the same problem with objective-C, you don't have the same problem with Python, and you rarely have the same problem with Perl (there were a few versions that broke binary compatibility, I believe, but not many). When you have a constantly changing standard that few know even how to _interpret_ right, it's hard to create a stable API from that.

Are the DSOs C++? RH9 uses an updated libstdc++ which can cause problems.

software certainly runs on 9; I'm not sure what happens if you mix binaries from the two versions (e.g. by replacing one of the DSOs without relinking the app.) If the C++ was exposed in anything except extern C blocks, then no, you can't mix binaries from the two versions.

Your problem is the filenames - they are not ISO-compliant. Burning CDs has nothing to do with the format of the individual files.

Basically, your files should be unique in their first 8 characters, and if you want to go beyond 8.3 filenames, you need to enable either Joliet or Rock Ridge.

Re: fork() failed with ENOMEM, free indicates enough, tune what kernel parameter
It depends on how big your processes are, and whether or not you have
kernel safety features turned on.
For example, if I have a 500M program that tries to run a program that
fits in 30K of space, I still have to have 500M of free memory to run it.
why? The way UNIX creates processes is by forking before execing.
Forking creates two IDENTICAL copies of a process, with the only
difference between the ttwo being the return value of fork(). That means
it has to copy the ENTIRE process in order to fork, so you have to have
that much memory available (it doesn't physically copy it - it's got lots
of nifty optimizations including Copy-On-Write, but it has to at least
reserve the space first). So, if you have a large process trying to run
external commands, that could easily bbe causing your problems.
There's some overcommit setting that you can turn off, but I forget what
this is.

Re: using bash features in init scripts
The reason that normal startup scripts don't, is that there's no guarantee
/bin/sh will point to bash, or even that bash is installed.
If you want to use bash, the first line should be /bin/bash instead of
/bin/sh, so it's obvious it needs bash specifically.

REALDEVICE=`echo $DEVICE | sed 's/:.*//g'`

In bash we can do this much faster with something like
this:
DEVICETYPE=$DEVICE

DEVICETYPE=${DEVICETYPE%[0-9]}
done
REALDEVICE=${DEVICE%%:*}

Okay, the loop that replaces the first line is messy,
but it saves
a couple of forks and an exec. The other two changes
are both
simpler and faster.
So why do most init scripts use sed and grep to
process

with the
Bourne shell (why would we want that anyway?) because
some

Re: Domain Controller in Linux
I know this is something silly, but it will help me clear my confusion that I have about DNS and Domain Controllers thanks to Windows Networking Styles. DNS and Domain Controllers have nothing to do with each other. You may be confusing DNS with name resolution in general. DNS is only one method of resolving names. For example, in Linux, there are several ways to resolve names: * /etc/hosts * DNS * NIS In Windows, there are also several ways to resolve names: * \WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS * DNS * SMB My guess is that your question is how does SMB name resolution work. Basically, with SMB, your Windows clients send out a broadcast request on their local LAN segment to get the names of all of the computers on that segment. With this, it does not matter if a domain controller is present. It also doesn't matter what IP addresses the clients have. If you have their name set up in their Network Identification tab, no matter what IP address they have, when someone broadcast queries them, they will report their assigned name. So basically, you don't need to do anything with Linux or DNS to get the Windows computers to talk to each other and recognize each other's names on the network. All you need to do is set up a DHCP server to assign everyone an IP address, and do IP masquerading. If you want to set up your server as a domain controller as well, you can, but it still has nothing to do with name resolution, which is handled by the SMB protocol, not DNS. If this is what you want, let me know, and I'll pass you some links. Jon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Domain Controller in Linux
The main thing for PDCs is to READ SEVERAL DOCUMENTS. All of them approach it from a different direction, and assume that you already have some things configured which you may not.

In addition, if you want to make your users REALLY happy, you can use your Linux box to let them all print to PDFs from any application. See these articles: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/bright.html http://linux-sxs.org/networking/PDF_creation_using_Samba.html You may want to play with the ps2pdf options a bit.

magicdev probes your removable devices to see if something's been

can kill your burn. I think you have to remove it using GNOME's session

What exactly are you trying to do? Every Linux application prints to Postscript, and you can easily convert Postscript to PDF. In addition, if you want to save license costs in your organization, you can set Samba up as a virtual printer, which touts itself as a Postscript printer, and then takes what Windows gives it and converts it to a PDF and stick it in the user's home directory. We haven't had to pay a cent for Acrobat because of this. Tell me what you're trying to do, and I might be able to help (include me personally in your To: list, otherwise I might miss the email).

In addition you can't properly represent accents with Symbol. With Hebrew, it's more than right-to-left. In Hebrew, the vowels go beneath the letters, and sometimes there are other marks as well (accent marks, the sheva, etc). In fact, most people don't know this, but the Hebrew bible originally had no vowels, spaces, or punctuation. Jon On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, Reuben D.

Re: Homemade Cluster, anyone?
For what purposes are you clustering? There are 2 basic types of clusters - high availability clusters, and compute clusters. Assuming you want HA clusters, visit http://www.linux-ha.org Also, within the compute clusters, you have essentially 3 different types - massively parallel clusters, shared-memory clusters, and pipeline clusters, each of which are better for different workloads. Massively parallel clusters - The computation is easily dividable among any number of nodes, and very little data is needed to be shared among nodes. Pipeline clusters - There are X independent jobs, so you can split up the process by at most X nodes. Shared memory clusters - same as either above, but a lot of memory sharing needs to take place. This usually requires specialized equipment.

Re: RAID 1: Can't mirror drives
If you have a system disk, and want to add a spare disk and make the two together a RAID-1 drive, do the following: * Add your disk (let's say it's hdb). * Set up your raid config with your current system disk as a fiailed disk (let's say it's hda). * Start up your RAID volume and mount it somewhere * Copy your system disk to your RAID volume. * Modify /etc/fstab of your RAID system, GRUB, and/or LILO to boot off of your RAID volume. You may need to mkinitrd as well. * Make a grub boot disk just to be safe, and read the grub manual so that you know how to use it. * Reboot your system. The raid device should be your root device. Check that everything works. If so, add your original system disk back to the array, and let it resync.

Re: Help! How to restore glibc on a broken system?
I think you're stuck with rpm2cpio. Alternatively, you could build RPM statically on your machine, but my guess is that rpm2cpio would be easier. Another possibility is to see what RPM links to, and upload your own versions of those into like /home/tmplib, and preload them. Do like: LD_PRELOAD=/home/tmplib/myownglibc.so:/home/tmplib/whateverelselibineed.so and use those while you are upgrading. Try it and see if it works.

Re: Need your help [arguments for open source databases]
I would like to have your opinions about open source databases versus commercial ones. I had a _serious_ debate with some of my colleagues about open source in general but when I started to compare mysql to oracle, they literally fired at me as if I had made a blasphemy... They are stating that Oracle is above any comparison and that it is the must in the universe of relational databases. As well they should. There's nothing wrong with open-source databases, it's just that MySQL doesn't qualify. It doesn't fulfill hardly ANY of the requirements of a relational database, like views, updatable views, subselects, triggers, custom functions/procedures, and other such things. Although it has finally started supporting transactions, I don't know if it supports fully serializable transactions. I would suggest before making recommendations on databases, you pick up one of the suggested books on http://www.dbdebunk.com/ Open Source databases are great. Just choose a real one like PostgreSQL or SAP-DB. Firebird may be a decent one, but I don't know much about it. Since, I am searching some objective informations in order to classify these databases. I found (and was surprise to find) that the real alternative to oracle were rather postgresql than mysql: when comparing the features. Don't forget SAP-DB. The main difference between PostgreSQL and Oracle is manageability. With Oracle, I can split up my table where all of the values where id3 are on disk A, and all of the values wher id=3 are on disk B, thus allowing full table scans to go at double speed. With Postgres, the best you can do is store different tables on different disks, and even that is a bit hacky. The nice thing about Postgres is that it is much easier to tune. After you get done changing the hideously low default values in their configuration file, it does pretty well itself. Using the explain command you can even have the optimizer tell you why it performed a certain query a certain way. Note that the defaults on Postgres are set for 80s-era machines - so that it will work out-of-the-box for all configurations. You should ALWAYS modify those values before doing tests. Anyway, PostgreSQL is VERY quick and VERY snappy. With a bunch of work, you can even get some replication on it. PostgreSQL also has a really nice rewriting system which allows for very intricate updateable views. I do not know if Oracle has as good of a system here, although I think Oracle is SQLXX compliant while PostgreSQL is not. As to benchmarks, Oracle doesn't allow the release of benchmarks without the approval of the marketing department. Doing otherwise is a violation of their licensing agreements, and they can sue your pants off. Likewise with SQL Server. Now, if you want Oracle's manageability, you can use SAP-DB. In fact, it has an Oracle 7 compatibility mode, which allows you to basically use your Oracle DBAs for MySQL stuff. However, SAP-DB is terrible to set up. Oracle also has the ability to link tables on separate database systems. PostgreSQL does not have this, but I'm not sure about SAP-DB. Personally, I would use PostgreSQL any day of the week, because I'm not a big fan of paying full-time DBAs, and Postgres, although has fewer management features, more or less self-optimizes. However, for extremely intensive workloads, Oracle would probably be a better choice. For example, the travel industry is probably well off that they use Oracle over PostgreSQL, but most of the rest of us are probably better off with PostgreSQL. Jon But I didn't find any head to head comparison between open source/commercial databases. Do you know any benchmark results that made this kind of comparison? Thanks a lot for any suggestion. And again, my apologizes if this is not the right place to ask such questions.

Re: [OT] Does this mean that IP was proven on the SCO case?
That is a disputed argument. If this code had slipped in without their prior knowledge and consent and they didn't notice it until lately this GPL argument doesn't fly. The fact that they didn't notice it for years makes them look quite silly, but it is not a justification for stealing IP. However, the fact that they had a developer working on the supposed sections of code for many years seems to imply that they did have that knowledge.

Re: Root is GONE
IF you have been hacked, you should just backup your data and reinstall.
Are you sure theres no other way you could have lost your /etc/passwd
file? That's basically the problem - /etc/passwd is either missing or
corrupted - and thus it can't find the root user. I don't think shadow
has much to do with it.
If you can copy /etc/passwd from a good RH machine of the same version,
and then run the passwd command from single-user mode, you should be at
least in a little better shape.

Why not use Postfix? It comes w/ RH.

Re: Apache and Perl
I use phpGroupware. It's a little quirky, but works well. As for your problems, you need to make sure that you have the following line somewhere in your httpd.conf: AddHandler cgi-script .pl In addition, in the directory configuration you will need Options +ExecCGI For your directory listings to work, I think you need Options +Indexes But I could be wrong on that one. In addition, if it needs mod_perl (rather than just perl executing as a CGI), you'll need even more configuraiton. Jon On Thu, 17 Jul 2003, Mark Haney wrote: Has anyone ever setup/used CyberCalendar?

You want to take a VCD and extract the mpegs? That's actually pretty easy. First of all, if all you want to do is copy, then you just need cdrdao. It copies VCDs just fine. To rip the mpegs, grab the latest vcdimager from www.vcdimager.org. Go forthe development series - it's muy muy better. It comes with a utility called cdxa2mpeg, which does what you need. It also has vcdxrip which does what you're looking for. Jon On Wed, 16 Jul 2003, Didier Casse wrote: Hi there, Which tools do you guys use to rip vcds on Linux?
