Cannot login after modification shadow file with guestmount
Hi. I have a VM with CentOs6.2 on KVM. I mount an image of the VM when it's not working with guestmount: root at diehard:~# guestmount -a named-centos.img -i tmp vi /etc/shadow insert comment line into the file (esc yy p 0 i # esc :wq!), save changes, unmount the image, turn on the VM, and I cannot login. I cannot login even if I recover the shadow file. root at diehard:~# guestmount

testing randomness of random number generators with student t-test?
Hi, subject more or less says it all. I freely admit to not having bothered to find some of the online papers about method of testing the quality of random number generators -- but in an idle moment I wondered what to expect from something like the following: randa<-runif(1000) randb<-runif(1000) t.test(randa,randb)$p.value var.test(randa,randb)$p.value [repeat ad nauseum] Is the

Side-effects of require() vs library() on x86_64 aka amd64
RDieHarder fails its regression tests on x86_64 (aka "amd64") at CRAN (using Debian), and I see the same on Ubuntu 8.10 in 64 bit. No issues on 32bit. One odd thing is that the program behaves well if run via R --no-save < tests/RDieHarder.R but NOT when started using R --slave <...

Random Number Testing
Hi, Is there a package that contains testing algorithms (e.g. runs test, serial test, autocorrelation test...) for random number generators ?

RDieHarder with file input invocation
I got hold of the 0.0.7 RDieHarder binary package as zip for Windows from CRANextras but don't know how to invoke its main method dieharder() in R with "file_input" as RNG argument - how to specify path to that input file ? the 0.0.7 as opposed to 0.1.0 doesn't seem to have ''inputfile'' arg for p...

Random numbers
Hi All. I have R code whose functionality is being replicated within a C+ program. The outputs are to be compared to validate the conversion somewhat - however (as is always the case) I have stuffed my code with random number calls. Random uniform numbers in C+ are being produced using the (Boost) mersenne-twister generators (mt11213b & mt19937) - which is the default type of generator

Testing for randomness
Dear all, Is there a test in R for the randomness of a sequence of observations (e.g. to test the random number generator)? Specifically I am looking for autocorrelations which are not necessarily linear in nature, which the acf function does not seem to be flexible enough to detect as it tests for linear autocorrelation. Thanks in advance, Paul.

Replacing the Random Number Generator in Stand Alone Library
Hi R-Developers, I had a question about the random number generator used in the R StandAlone Math Library. The stand-alone library depends on the unif_rand() function for most simulated values, and this function is provided in the sunif.c file in the relevant directory. At present, this program implements the "Marsaglia-Multicarry" algorithm, which is described throughout the R

New entropy source proposal.
Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>

C programmers, please help. need dovecot patch
Hi all. Can any C programmers out there tell me how to fix Dovecot to default to Maildir format when autodecting can't find anything? I don't know C, but it seems like it would be a simple thing. Right now, I use the autodetect mailbox feature because we want users to choose to optionally be able to use Mbox format (we have some diehard unix users with non-maildir clients). I have

Spicy stuff on web development
Hi all, The link contains a stingy article on AJAX and other somewhat browser dependant stuff. http://techrepublic.com.com/5254-6257-0.html?forumID=99&threadID=184332&messageID=1963135&id=2926438 Being a webdev myself and also a diehard perfectionist, I could relate to some of it.

Runs up and runs down test
Can someone point me to an implementation of the "runs up and runs down" test, or does such beast exist in R? From web searches the "runs up and runs down" test is commonly used for testing pseudo-random number generators and in simulations. John C. Davis describes its use in geology in his book on geological statistics (2002). Having searched the full site, I can locate only

Winamp plugin installation
Okay, this is a nitpick but I gotta do it. First the background: I'm trying to convince a diehard mp3 coworker of mine to use ogg for his personal project along side of mp3 and having a tough time. His gripe is that the default players all support mp3 (Winamp and wma) but not ogg and that his listeners won't want to go out and install it. We have now set up a huge shared drive on the
