Hi there, Can anyone tell me how IOCTLs actually work and how to program using IOCTLs ?? I mean, I want to know the internal working of the IOCTL calls. Detailed explanation is appreciated. This is the second time I'm sending this question. Thanks, Kunal ------------------ Adding features does not necessarily increase functionality -- it just makes the manuals thicker. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

by Apu Shah 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Media Lab Asia Seeks Linux, System Software, and Networking Scientists ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What if an operating system were designed specifically for rural India instead of for urban Seattle, Washington? How might it be different in terms of scheduling, memory management, file systems, user interfaces, language support, memory image size, network support.... And what if 802.11 were redesigned for villages instead of office buildings? How would it differ in terms of power requirements, cost, RF properties.... Media Lab Asia aims to radically reconceptualize, for rural India, system software and network systems in its Systems Laboratory based on the IIT Madras campus in Chennai. Media Lab Asia consists of the renowned Media Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), regional laboratories in Mumbai, Kanpur, New Delhi, and Chennai, and participating grassroots communities. The organization has its administrative headquarters in Mumbai. We are looking for world-class scientists and engineers interested in the applications of high-technologies to social and economic development and rural transformation. The successful applicant will have experience in either system software (Linux kernel experience a plus) or network engineering. A Ph.D. is preferred but ambitious new post graduates showing exceptional promise will be considered. E-mail us at jobs(a)medialabasia.org and mention "System Software" in the subject line. Please include an introductory statement of 500 words or less along with your CV in plain text or HTML. URL links to relevant websites are welcome. Kindly forward to individuals or lists that may suit this profile. http://www.medialabasia.org/

sendmail.cf - version 9 upgrade
by Manish Jethani 08 Jan '02

08 Jan '02

I've `upgraded' my system to red hat 7.2. Sendmail gives me a warning now, saying: Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.11.6 supports version 9, .cf file is version 8 How do I regenerate it to match version 9 (without messing up my settings, masquerading rules, aliases, etc.)? Manish -- You can always tell luck from ability by its duration.

FS bugs in kernel 2.4.x series
by Amish Mehta 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi, I remember there was some discussion going on here on FS bug in kernel 2.4.x. It was regarding root mount error where root block got corrupted. Somebody had reported that this bug exists in some of versions of kernel. If I remember the kernel versions were also specified. I searched the past archives of list but failed to find any such note. I had read the same on kernel.org too but it has disappeared from there too. So can anybody please tell me which kernel versions had the FS bug in kernel 2.4.x series. Where do I find any such notes of serious kernel errors? I searched on yahoo but didnt give me expected results. Thank you. Amish.

Internet through Cable
by Manish Jethani 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Anyone tried cable internet on linux? It seems you need some special (TM) software for access. And my cablewala doesn't support linux users because he doesn't have the software for linux nor is he interested in finding out. What next? I desperately want to switch to cable but won't go with windows just for that! Here's a link I found through google but couldn't make a thing of it: http://www.cablemodemhelp.com/linux.htm Manish -- Message will arrive in the mail. Destroy, before the FBI sees it.

Diskless linux clients
by Ashok Iyer 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi, I have been successful in configuring Diskless Linux workstations using boot images from www.etherboot.org and precompiled kernels from www.ltsp.org . ltsp-core version 3.0.0. The diskless clients boots, loads its kernel via tftp, mounts root file system via NFS (from /opt/ltsp/i386 on the server) and gives either: 1) a telnet session to the server(The machine on which the root file system exists). 2) or a bash prompt. Is it possible to authenticate the user before he gets the bash prompt(from /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd)? I tried to do this by putting the binaries of mingetty, bash and login from my redhat linux distro. into the ltsp root file system /opt/ltsp/i386/bin/bash, /opt/ltsp/i386/bin/login and /opt/ltsp/i386/sbin/mingetty. I also copied /lib/security and /etc/pam.d . Note that my Red Hat Linux system's kernel version is the same that ltsp-kernel package provides i.e. 2.4.9. I copied a couple of users from /etc/passwd on my system to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd file. After doing all this, I was successful in getting a login prompt but was unable to authenticate any user. What could be the problem?. I was not using shadow passwords. Then I also tried copying the shadow and group files from my linux box but no success. Please guide me as to what the problem could be.
