Okay ...you have a LAN inside the DSL modem that has
externally routable IPs on different subnets, and you want
to setup an internal routing table that knows all of these
hosts.
One question ... what is the physical setup involved?
i.e. are all the boxes involved connected directly to the DSL modem?
is the Linux/Iptables box the only box connected to the DSL modem, and
the downstream boxes are connected to a switch/hub off a secondary
interface off the firewall box?
-- I suspect from your description we are looking at DSLmodem/router to
separate boxes ...

It is. Ralf already knows about the problem, I think - we leave
markers outside of functions which define an entry point, save some
additional registers to the stack, and try to fall through to the
following function. If the function gets emitted elsewhere, obviously,
we've lost :)

in this case (i understand now)
Like Antony said, the better approach is to make a linux box with
netfilter as firewall and 2 nics.
One of this nics connected to the dsl modem and the other nic as the
LAN.
So all boxes inside de lan are connected, and you must configure nat in
the linux box in order to the LAN boxes reach internet.

Questions of the sort you pose here are hard to answer because they do not
really have "right" answers. The best partitioning strategy for a specific
system depends on the anticipated uses for that system, the distro
involved, specifics of its hardware, and probably yhe personal style of the
person who will admin it.
My own preference, just as an example, is to minimize partitioning, to
avoid later needs to repartition when my needs change. So for a 1-drive
system, I typically do something like this --
hda1 = small (50 MB or so) partition, mounted at /boot
hda2 = midsize (256-1024 MB) partition, used as swap
hda3 = rest of disk, mounted as / (root partitionj)
Sometimes I use a 4-partition setup, varying the above as
hda3 = between 10 GB and 20 GB, mounted as /
(depends a lot on the size of the drive, of course)
hda4 = rest of disk, mounted as /home
But even there I have systems that depart from those rules ... and, of
course, multi-drive systems get more complex. But I never find it desirable
to set up separate partitions for /usr, /var, and /tmp ... I've found that
making them separate just introduces more opportunities for things to go wrong.
That's just me, though ... this is an area where reasonable people come to
different comculsions about the best approach.

* Samba
From: Josh Lamb @ 2004-01-25 16:35 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-newbie
Hello,
I recently switched to linux because I was curious what else was out there
and was very annoyed with windows's mismanaged multitasking. So I went and
bought Slackware after trying knoppix for a short while. I know Slack is
sometimes not recommended for newbies, but I think it is the best way to
learn linux because it really forced me to learn new things.
My question: Can you recommend any books that deal more with networking, I
am having troubles trying to set up a Samba server? I also want to be able
to set up Apache and BIND? OH, and one more, does anyone have a good text on
using a good linux server to serve a lot of thin clients?
thanks for your time

Does it work if you disable -funit-at-a-time? I had a problem with that

I alswys hate to say that a statement like yours is correct ... there are
so many different ways of doing things on Linux/Unix systems, it may be
merely that I do not know the one that will solve your problem ... but I do
believe that there is no way to use "on demand" loading in this case ...
or, in fact, any case that involves access to filesystems. The only way for
you to be certain of that, though, it to wait and see whether someone else,
someone who knows a different bag of tricks from mine, suggests a method
that works for you.
I am also sorry if my prior response was so poorly phrased that that is the
"only thing [you] get" from it. I was attempting to be more helpful than that.

Yes, I am running X. And I suppose that I have the right to use the

I already thought in the same direction, but I guess this must be a

Yes a hardly tested readahead patch somehow got integrated.
I/O sucks bigtime in 2.6.1
Try the latest -mm or -bk kernels, it should be fixed there.

From: Fabrice Bellard @ 2004-01-25 16:16 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: qemu-devel
Hi,
QEMU 0.5.2 is out. A statically linked binary distribution for i386 is
also available. There are still many known problems (see the TODO list
!), but more OSes are working.
version 0.5.2:
- improved soft MMU speed (assembly functions and specializing)
- improved multitasking speed by avoiding flushing TBs when
switching tasks
- improved qemu-fast speed
- improved self modifying code handling (big performance gain in
softmmu mode).
- fixed IO checking
- fixed CD-ROM detection (win98 install CD)
- fixed addseg real mode bug (GRUB boot fix)
- added ROM memory support (win98 boot)
- fixed 'call Ev' in case of paging exception
- updated the script 'qemu-binfmt-conf.sh' to use QEMU automagically
when launching executables for the supported target CPUs.
- PowerPC system emulation update (Jocelyn Mayer)
- PC floppy emulation and DMA fixes (Jocelyn Mayer)
- polled mode for PIC (Jocelyn Mayer)
- fixed PTE dirty bit handling
- fixed xadd same reg bug
- fixed cmpxchg exception safeness
- access to virtual memory in gdb stub
- task gate and NT flag fixes
- eflags optimisation fix for string operations

Heinz,

My problem is I want an appropriate startup script to initiate and halt

Any ideas?

* [linux-lvm] [patch] lvm2 and md component devices
From: Luca Berra @ 2004-01-25 16:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-lvm
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1232 bytes --]
At the moment lvm2 scans devices according to filters in lvm.conf
There is also provisioning to ignore md component device if an md device
is found with the same uuid.
This approach becomes a problem when the md device is not activated and
the _unwary_ user did not set up a filter in lvm.conf.
The attached patch aims to fix this issue in a way that should be
transparent to the user.
It modifies _find_labeller in lib/label/label.c to look for md
superblock signature in the component device and ignore the device if
found.
In order to achieve this i had to modify lib/device/dev-io.c to use
lseek64 in place of lseek (i don't think there is any advantage in using
_llseek).
It build and works as expected on my test system (mandrake cooker), but
i would like some comments on it.
I did not remove yet the check for duplicate pv and md in
lib/cache/lvmcache.c and lib/format1/disk-rep.c, but i believe it can be
removed if my patch is ok.
Forcing the user zero the md superblock (using mdadm) before using the
device as a pv does not seem a bad side-effect.
Regards,
L.

If you can _assemble_ and run your hello.asm program then I'd be very
surprised if you will have the time during your course to write anything
which will give MASM any trouble. I have used DOSEMU to compile and
assemble a program of over 100,000 lines of C. Are there no sources
with your book that you can try to see if more complex code will be OK?
You will find many assembler sources on the Web to try, but make sure
that they don't expect anything in the system that you don't have (such
(as libraries etc.) or you'll be going off on a wild goose chase. A
quick search on Google revealed over 6,000 hits when I asked for the
words "MASM ASSEMBLER SOURCE", here's one of them:
http://www.movsd.com/source.htm
I'm sure that there'll be lots there for you to learn.
Of course if you have a Linux box you probably have a very much better
assembler than MASM on the box already, and there are certainly free
ones that you can download.
Being able to handle assembly language is a useful skill and learning
it is a very good introduction to using parts of a computer. Assembler
is where it all started and it's indispensable, but be aware that
relatively little coding is done in assembler thesedays.

Ged.

The output of 'df' might be more meaningful.
If you mounted sda7 as /

Would it satisfy all your free space concerns?

Are you running X? Does the user under which you are running bluepin
have permission to use DISPLAY? (Test this by trying to start an xterm.
If this fails, see xauth.)

Where exactly during bootup are you crashing? If it's before console_init,
you're going to have some kind of early printk function to do a crude dump
to the screen or serial port or something. If it's after, then dump all
the pgdats, and see if it looks good.
Fundamentally, you need to create the pgdats, and fill them out properly,
describing to the main VM where your memory regions start and end. Most
of them are in pfn units (page frame number = physaddr / PAGE_SIZE).
I didn't bother sorting through your files to see if you're doing that ;-)
