2015-10-08 Thread Numpsy
Hi all, I have a Windows product that uses signed XML files which I'm trying to get running under Mono on OSX, and I'm running into a verification failure at runtime. I'm pretty hazy about how the internals of this stuff works, but debugging through it, the issue seems to be occurring in

[Mono-dev] System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.ObjectSecurity property

2015-10-08 Thread Numpsy
Hi all When trying to build some Windows .Net libs in Mono (on OSX in this case, but I don't think that matters), I got a compile error due to the 'ObjectSecurity' property of System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry being missing. I was wondering, is there a reason for that, or is it an

One option would be to write a backend that uses one of the various configuration systems in Unix that use a separate process to arbitrate access to the information. Perhaps you can use dconf. Since the registry lives in mscorlib, and this would bring a number of dependencies , I recommend to

Ok. Is it worth me doing a pull request to add a stub implementation? (Some of the other props there just throw NotImplementedException on call, so I can do the same). I've also found another issue with the ActiveDirectoryObjectNotFoundException class apparently not being present, so I may need

While this wouldn’t protect against “rogue” apps who want to trash things, would using the existing mechanism but using the Linux locking primitives (which are co-operative and not proscriptive) to serialize access to the underlying files/directories be an option? One option would be to

Hello, We tried to make those work, and could not. That is why Mono's SHM support is getting deprecated, it works most of the time, when things go right. The problem is that things can go wrong, and they go wrong. There are a universe of problems, ranging from the home directory being on non
