Re: [SLUG] samba 3.0?
I am not running Samba3 in an AD environment. But I have configured it using ldap and it is the domain controller for a couple of XP machines. I believe in the coming versions of Samba3 will allow you to sign up w2k and new machines without the need for the signorseal reg hack. So far you still need it.

You need SCSI configured, and SCSI CD support, then you can choose the IDE-SCSI driver. I think you need to specify something like append hdc=ide-scsi to your lilo.conf or grub menu.lst to tell the kernel that your hdc device is not to be touched by the ide-cd driver, and instead let ide-scsi take care of it. Once that's done, you can use /dev/scd0 as your cdrom device. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] delete crashes ...
hi All, I have a multithreaded c/c++ app containing a simple (self-developed) queue. 3 operations -'insert(..)', 'retrieve()' 'length()'. As part of 'retrieve' a call to 'delete' is made to remove the head of the queue. Only 2 threads ever use this queue - strictly one for inserting and another for retrieving ( and yes access is mutex protected on all 3 operations ). Although very _infrequent_, the problem is that the call to delete in retrieve causes segmentation violation. It is a real nuisance as one may run the app many times without fail but on some occassions it fails. Has anyone encountered/resolved simliar problems in anyother app ? Could this issue be the result of word alignment ? I suspect a memory corruption - but I cannot seem to figure out when/where/how it could happen. One characteristic of the app is that this queue is hammered quite intensively - both inserts and retrieves. Any hints much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[SLUG] disregard previous mail
Please disregard my last email with subject `9fans', it was accidentally
generated. I considered not saying anything, but this is quicker than
explaining to everyone individually what happened. (Those technically
inclined can scroll down for a longer explanation)
Occasionally I use this script ``msg'' for firing off quick single line
messages to people via email. The ali command takes an alias and
sends a mail to the corresponding address in my aliases file. I hadn't
used it for some time and invoked msg without arguments for a usage line,
which I hadn't bothered implementing. This led to ali being run
without arguments, which prints _every_ address I keep. All very
embarrassing, apologies.

RE: [SLUG] delete crashes ...
Haven't done much hard core C programming for a while, however you didn't mention whether you have made use of core files and gdb. Assuming you have core files enabled (using ulimit) then following your segv you should be able to tell you where it was last executing by reading in with gdb. As said this type of thing can be tricky to find but stuff like Electric Fence I believe helps mark heap space with a signature that can allow you to find culprit. Also it sounds like a suitable test-rig to exercise your program might help you generate the issue. Finally you might hunt around for some robust open-source libraries that you can use rather than rolling your own (assuming you can comply with the licences they might have) Martin Visser ,CISSP Network and Security Consultant Technology Infrastructure - Consulting Integration HP Services 3 Richardson Place North Ryde, Sydney NSW 2113, Australia Phone *: +61-2-9022-1670Mobile *: +61-411-254-513 Fax 7: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail * : martin.visserAThp.com -Original Message- From: Tiwari, Rajnish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 31 October 2003 1:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] delete crashes ... hi All, I have a multithreaded c/c++ app containing a simple (self-developed) queue. 3 operations -'insert(..)', 'retrieve()' 'length()'. As part of 'retrieve' a call to 'delete' is made to remove the head of the queue. Only 2 threads ever use this queue - strictly one for inserting and another for retrieving ( and yes access is mutex protected on all 3 operations ). Although very _infrequent_, the problem is that the call to delete in retrieve causes segmentation violation. It is a real nuisance as one may run the app many times without fail but on some occassions it fails. Has anyone encountered/resolved simliar problems in anyother app ? Could this issue be the result of word alignment ? I suspect a memory corruption - but I cannot seem to figure out when/where/how it could happen. One characteristic of the app is that this queue is hammered quite intensively - both inserts and retrieves. Any hints much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[SLUG] TIOCMIWAIT
If anyone has used ioctl(TIOMIWAIT) I'd appreciate some
help.
My code waits for a pulse-per-second signal on DCD, the code
can be summarised as below, the full code is at
http://www.aarnet.edu.au/~gdt/misc/shm_splc.c
I get the message Input/output error at the perror()
below. The full output can be seen at
http://www.aarnet.edu.au/~gdt/misc/shm_splc.txt
The RS-232 port has the PPS connected to RS-232 DCD,
the PPS ground to RS-232 SignalGnd. No other pins
are connected.
I also get the same error if only TIOCM_CAR is
listed or if the port is opened with O_RDWR.
Running Red Hat Linux 9, Linux 2.4.20-20.9 on
Intel Pentium M. The serial port works for
everything else I've used it for. Running
statserial repeatedly shows DCD being pulsed.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm a bit at my wit's
end.

I think you may be wrong about the reason though. What I did was to run modconf and install the sg module. (you need both the sg and ide-scsi modules but the ide-scsi module was listed as having already been installed. I then cd to the /dev directory and rm cdrom followed by ln -s scd0 cdrom This was insufficient to get cdrecord working so I did aptitude install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 and rebooted using that kernel. I am burning a CD using the box (not this box) as I type. I will be out for an hour or so but will be home later this afternoon or this evening.

Re: [SLUG] ide cd-writer
I'm sure there are a couple of different ways to handle this. I did it through recompiling the kernel with: no support for IDE CD devices support for SCSI CD support for SSCI gerneric devices support for IDE-SCSI emulation worked on reboot, fstab just needed to be modified to /dev/scd0 /cdrom Regards Brett Ken Caldwell wrote: quote who=Terry Collins Shaun Oliver wrote: hi all, I have here a reco mp70-40a 4x ide cd-writer.
