Joel,

Please do not hijack threads, it is better to start a new thread with a
new subject. If you use an existing thread to talk about something
completely different than the thread's subject, it causes a lot of
problems with mail and news readers. Also, you cannot just change the
subject line to create a new thread.  Most news and mail readers use
other headers such as References: to track and build the thread of
messages by message ID, and changing the subject line does not change
the actual threading. Therefore, one should always compose a new (and
therefore reference-free) message when changing topics.


Ah ok (thanks for explanation, I have no detailed knowledge on e-mail client, 
sorry)
I will take care next time ;-)

Hello Micah,

I just read the changelog of your debian's pkg upload (util-vserver

   o it was re-enable for hppa ;-)

So my question is: was it already tested on this arch?



No, it was re-enabled after a long period of being disabled, and needs
to be tested by someone with that arch. If you can test it, it would be
appreciated.


Ok I did it and unfortunately failled ;-(




On toh for my private build from upstream src (on going to build latest
0.30.210), I disabled use of dietlibc (not yet available for hppa at this
time) and all seems to works fine.



What is "toh"?

oops sorry fingers didn't any more follow my mind: I would mean otoh (on the 
other hand)


I would prefer to use dietlibc if possible as it seems to
be required to handle some corner security issues.


Understood.




(But tbh I'm still ignoring what kind of pb am I supposed to encounter)



tbh?: To be honest
pb?: problem



I'm sorry, I am not able to parse your acronyms!

Cool.

Sorry, I wasn't clear...

The ISP problem, not the dietlibc problems.
Due to the ISP problem, I had to steal a little m-l bandwidth.

If this was a solution to Joel's problem with dietlib, can you re-send
it to the list so the rest of us can know the answer? I'd like to be
able to reference it in the future if other HPPA users come here with
the same problem. :)

Ah, I meant we can find out if dietlibc is broken on HPPA or not. I
did not mean we can find out if glibc insecurities still exist.

I tried to google around for references to this to see if I could help
push these up, but didn't find anything. Sometimes all it takes is a

Appologies for late answer but this isp webmail interface is very a nightmare
(it tooks me all this afternoon to reach to login Grrr).

That said if this interface was more confortable I would probably 'subject'
it: 'new util-vserver-0.30.209-2.deb failled to restart my vps ;_('

Let me tail more few words:
1/ when I installed the pkg a vps (a guest) was still runing and I want
   to check that:
# vserver-stat
CTX   PROCVSZRSS  userTIME   sysTIMEUPTIME NAME
0   76 135.7M  46.7M  18m55s70  17m46s40   6h15m00 root server
491529  38.3M  10.8M   0m03s20   0m14s73   6h08m37 <== it
would show DebSid

too bad ;-(

(mmm, btw wouldn't have to stop vps before upgrading? [very no idea])

2/ I then restart the host and try to re-start my guest:
# vserver DebSid start
check-unixfile: lseek(): Invalid argument
check-unixfile: lseek(): Invalid argument
check-unixfile: lseek(): Invalid argument
check-unixfile: lseek(): Invalid argument

check-unixfile: lseek(): Invalid argument

secure-mount: read(): Success

GRrrr.

Definitly, dietlibc is broken for hppa (not only test) ;-(

I so rebuild latest util-vserver-0.30.210 (disabling dietlibc use) and make
install by hand and restart my guest without pb, though.

mmm, as I just discover that it was re-enable since short, I didn't
investigate more, I will try to get some more info?

Tx for kind attention,

Thanks, now I read what the concerns are. . .

That message is about the date of glibc-2.3.2 - current is 2.3.6

There has been a fair number of changes done between those versions.
Some affecting getpwnam() and friends when used in staticly linked
programs.

I think both of the mentioned restrictions can now be enforced.

Let me spend some time on checking that statement before I go too 
far out on a limb.

I don't know of explicit tests, but it should be
possible to create some, given that somebody wants
to spend time on it ...

http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg09379.html
(there are others, just goolge for it)

IMHO dietlibc isn't a bad choice after all, although
I was initially annoyed by the change, why?

 - we get smaller binaries
 - we can easily test on various platforms as
   diet has excellent support for cross compiling
 - the resulting code is somewhat efficient, so
   much simpler to debug than glibc
 - we get the 'security' of statically linked
   executables (which means we do not have to worry)
 - we do not have to struggle with distro specific
   libc modifications or features (or lack thereof)

best,
Herbert

Joel,

Please do not hijack threads, it is better to start a new thread with a
new subject. If you use an existing thread to talk about something
completely different than the thread's subject, it causes a lot of
problems with mail and news readers. Also, you cannot just change the
subject line to create a new thread.  Most news and mail readers use
other headers such as References: to track and build the thread of
messages by message ID, and changing the subject line does not change
the actual threading. Therefore, one should always compose a new (and
therefore reference-free) message when changing topics.

No, it was re-enabled after a long period of being disabled, and needs
to be tested by someone with that arch. If you can test it, it would be
appreciated.

What is "toh"? I would prefer to use dietlibc if possible as it seems to
be required to handle some corner security issues.

I'm sorry, I am not able to parse your acronyms!

really depends on the dietlibc, but I'd assume it
is _still_ broken on HPPA, nevertheless the glibc
is _not_ a good alternative, although it _might_ 
work for simple things.

be careful as glibc is neither secure nor reliable
when used to create or enter guests ... nevertheless
for 'normal' administrative management or in a known
secure environment it should work 'as expected'.

best,
Herbert

PS: I hope that dietlibc on hppa will be fixed soon.

Hello Micah,

I just read the changelog of your debian's pkg upload (util-vserver
(0.30.209-2) unstable) and btw discover:
o it was re-enable for hppa ;-)
o and it's build with dietlibc (now available also for this arch too)

So my question is: was it already tested on this arch?

(I'm  worry because I also play to rebuild dietlibc to run test and many
failed (e.g. stdio test), though).

On toh for my private build from upstream src (on going to build latest
0.30.210), I disabled use of dietlibc (not yet available for hppa at this
time) and all seems to works fine.

(But tbh I'm still ignoring what kind of pb am I supposed to encounter)

TIA for advise,
Joel

(even thought my compamy fw didn't allow smtp port usage, it would be great to
just cut and past the 'template' mail temporary file in the webmail interface
of my own isp (obiously company mail box is also forbiden :_( ))

yes, it was, but (if you read your mail again) only
to the testfs.sh script, not the testme.sh one ...

I thought that the -n (no_color) option was added after I sent a similar
patch back in October[1]?

great!

nitpick: let's prefix the tests with [ARCH] in the future
(for ML postings) to simplify searching ...

btw, we a planning to support an -m 'mail' option to
send the arch info to the ML in the near future ...
