hello i hope this is on topic here... i really need help and i'm guessing one of you will know the answer. i am trying to write software (open source) to work with cd images. the only thing i'm having trouble with is no-emulation 'el torito' boot records. i can't find any place where it sais how big the boot image is. bytes 8-0B of the initial/default entry say where to

Hi folks, I'm new to the list so forgive me if this topic has already been explained in great detail. I'm trying to understand how an image gets booted from an EL-TORITO compabatible CD-ROM, so I have some general questions: 1) Is there a limit of how big the boot image can be? In the Initial/Default entry I see a "Sector Count" which is only a word long in length. Does

A very special thanks to H. Peter for finding the time to [at least partially, if not wholly] scrutinize and merge the El Torito emulation code for MEMDISK! I'd like to ask that those who've previously used the stale MEMDISK-ISO switch to this latest[1] MEMDISK proper and report any failures. Gert, I believe this version addresses the PloP .ISO trouble you reported. Could you

hello a while ago i posted a question about my troubles remastering isolinux bootable cds. after that Steffen Winterfeldt helped me out a lot and now my problems are gone. i wrote a document about my experiences and i thought i'd share it with you: http://littlesvr.ca/isomaster/eltoritosuppl.php and since i'm in pimping mode, my interest in isolinux is purely because of iso master (

Hello, I have the following scenario: - GPT Partitioned USB disk with syslinux (or extlinux) on the first partition and a menu to boot each partition; all of them are iso9660 images of different linux distros, - Before dumping every iso image into its partition space on the USB disk I need to remaster it changing something on its initrd to be able to coexist with other linux distros on the

Hi all, I have virtual mailboxes set up as "Smart Folders" to show me messages tagged with certain keywords. For example: # ~/Maildir-virtual/fwp/dovecot-virtual File MailingLists/* KEYWORD @fwp Messages get picked up from the File mailbox, but not for the sub-mailboxes inside the MailingLists mailbox. What am I doing wrong? Wrong separator? And how can I debug this?

Hello! I'm setting up a fileserver, running RedHat and Samba 2.0.6. This server will support about 80 people in several different departments, who all work under the same main unit. Each of the smaller departments has different requirements as far as shared resources. So what I'd like to do is create a login.bat for each department, and have Samba use it based on the group membership

Hello, I would normally not write this list to announce an update to a software package, however there have been a number of very significant changes to this program that users of it may want to upgrade and new users may want to check out. What it is =-=-=-=-=- Sentry is a port scan detector for Linux, *BSD, and most UNIX variants. What it does =-=-=-=-=-=- Sentry monitors your systems for

Hello, I appreciate the help. I am able to mount the nfs root share to a directory and then chroot to it and pull up a shell. Everything seems fully functional from there and I can run all the programs I checked. Wasn't sure how to manually test the init command. When I type /sbin/int it prints the proper format for an init command and when I type /sbin/init S, I just get a carriage return.

I have an application that uses the Sentry plug-in. I am using Sentry on my Users model for encrypting passwords. It works fine inside the application, but whenever I call User.create in my migration (in order to set-up a default user) I get the following error when I run the migrations: rake aborted! undefined method `symmetrically_encrypts'' for User:Class Has anyone experienced this

First of all it works great!! I have my 3Com cards booting off the network and it grabs the linux kernel just fine. My next problem is more of me not understanding the rules. Is the /tftpboot directory just like /? My though was to take a Linux rescue disk that had some imaging tools and then just put the whole thing in /tftpboot and tell it to boot the kernel in that directory. But I always

Hey Folks, I am attempting to set up a router box on a diskless machine. I have PXE boot rom and am able to load a kernel (2.4) and mount the root filesystem off the server. The kernel executes and then I get the kernel panic, with the "no init found" message. I have tried various permutations of the init= parameter (/bin/init, /bin/sh, etc..), the client machine can't seem to

Hi everyone, I got the error: NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/smp for linux NET4.0 ds: no socket drivers loaded request_module[block-major-8]: root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device ""or 08:03 Please append a correct "root"boot option The strange thing is that it tries to mount from harddisk. This I got somewhere else: "the kernel looks like it is trying to

I''d like to hear from some one who has been using Sentry successfully. I am trying to symmetrically_encrypts :password for a user model. It is a bare bones model just to test Sentry. I have password defined as ''text'' in the users table. I have openssl library installed on Debian Sarge. The secret key is defined in environment.rb. But when I submit the form I get

I am still trying to get sentry working to encrypt a couple of attributes in the model. One of them is a password field and the other ssn#. I have crypted_password and crypted_ssn in the db. In addition, I also have validates_uniqueness_of :ssn Here is the problem... I get the error MysqlError: Unknown column ''ssn'' in ''where clause'': SELECT * FROM students

I am looking at adding the Sentry plugin to one of the applications that we are working on. I have a need to store some info that will have to be encrypted and decrypted. I have been going through the docs for the plugin and the AsymetricSentry class looks like the best for what we need to do but I am not sure how to generate the key. The docs say: This is a shortcut for using an

Hi, after reading the docs (no man page) and seeing a few example howtos, I see none for Centos specifically. I hereby offer to write this and even host it, and any other wiki-able howto you want, if you can school me on the first few steps relevant to how to link up the current rpmforge rpm for RHEL4-64. See, right now, the one for centos loads into the /usr/share/doc, which is an odd place

I am testing the 1.1.6 on a new server that we were going to migrate to and have run into an issue with loading the sentry plugin. I think it has to do with the changes to dependencies.rb but not sure. I have Sentry set to load the key directories in the environment.rb file and on server start I receive a `const_missing'': uninitialized constant Sentry (NameError). This is
