similar to: close then select of stderr fd in client (openssh)

If I understand privsep correctly, and I'm not sure I do as there are some ambiguities in the illustration of what processes are doing what, there is a way to avoid doing fd passing. What I see is that fd passing is done to send the PTY to the user privileged process after the monitor process was requested to set one up. Why not go ahead and have the monitor set one up before it forks the

I have my app email me errors when they occur. I get this about 2-3 times a week with thousands of hits a day to the site. pages/show is a .html.erb file that renders the partial _strategicrelationshipacademy.html.erb essentially. Or whatever partial it calls for. I get this on many different ''pages''. Obviously the partial exists if it renders it fine most of the time. What

When using the -z and -B65536 options together, sometimes there is file corruption. Client and server are both compiled against zlib 1.1.4, so the gzip corruption shouldn't be there, right? With -z and -B32768 there is an error, but it is detected in a different way. With -B65536 and without -z all seems to be going OK. With -B16384 and with -z all seems to be going OK. I'm guessing

After doing a fresh extraction of the source for 2.6.0, I execute ./configure and it enters a loop with no output before or during. I let run 20 minutes just to see if it would ever do anything and it did nothing else. Host system has: Linux: 2.4.23 Slakcware: 9.0 bash: 2.05b.0 gcc: 3.2.2 glibc: 2.3.1 I have a big (huge) strace of it here:

Last year I put together a script that did a combined kernel header export from a pristine kernel tarball, then a build of klibc from a pristine klibc tarball. One of the intentions for this was to be independent of the host kernel and its headers, so I could build klibc for other targets of the same architecture. I even did this for a wide range of klibc and kernel version combinations to see

Are there any version compatibilities between linux and klibc? I tried to compile the latest klibc (1.5.18) with the latest linux (2.6.32.15) and there is miserable compile failures. It looks like klibc wants some headers to be in include/asm (linked in my case to include/asm-x86) but they are instead in include/asm-generic (it seems all headers but one are in there). I put together this script

This problem has persisted for as long as I've used rsync. When the --delete option is used, not all files are deleted from the target, even though said files are not present in the source. The particular cases that cause this are when the target has a directory with files, and the source is something else, at least a symlink (this is the case I have seen). I'm taking a guess to say that

My understanding of the man page description of --exclude vs. --include is that the list of these is kept in order, and file names are searched against these parameters in that order for the first that matches and that one makes the decision. It doesn't seem to be working exactly as expected. But there is a factor involved that's making it unclear, which is whether or not *'s should

I was under the impression that --include and --exclude worked by matching patterns in the order given, and whichever matched first, whether that was an include or exclude determined the action for that file. I have a big directory from which I am attempting to transfer selected files. I want all files where the first level directory is anything, the second level directory is "2005"

I'm trying to set up a machine which will be running multiple instances of NSD to serve different sets of zones from different interfaces. What I'm running into is that I can't specify different PID files to refer to on the command line. Are there any shortcuts or do I need to go write a patch? Any other implications of multiple instances? --

I did this when compiling... ./configure --prefix=/usr make Then when I checked the source/bin dir there was about 400mb of files there... It was the correct bin files but they were so huge that ther has to be something wrong.. Smbd was about

I'm finding even less on rsync and SSL. I would have imagined someone would have done something with this already, but apparently not. So I guess I need to ask and see for sure: has anyone worked on issues of using rsync via SSL, such as with stunnel? I want to have encrypted access, either anonymous or authenticated, but without granting any SSH access to anyone (e.g. the rsync

Are there any clients and/or servers for Windows (clients only for Win98/ME) which can use the rsync protocol, or especially rsync over SSL (e.g. like stunnel, not ssh), which would allow setting up some well controlled and secure bulk file exchanging between Windows an Unix? SMB is not going to be an option and a VPN may not be an option, either (there are technical reasons for that but they are

Is there a way to specify to rsync that metadata should NOT be updated unless the object was created, or the contents of a file was modified. Specifically, what I want to do is use rsync to "install" a file tree of a few changes (a package being replicated to multiple machines after it has been compiled). The problem is that the file tree created to hold the files from the install does
