similar to: [patch] overcoming PATH_MAX - very long paths with rsync - integration of liblongpath

Hi, I''ve been thinking about group membership and the corresponding (weak) restrictions to system resources. Consider the following: % cat > gsh.c main() { system("/bin/sh"); } % cc -o gsh gsh.c % id uid=100(joe) gid=500(users) groups=14(floppy),15(sound) % chgrp sound gsh % chmod g+s gsh % mail abuser Subject: You owe me $5...

Hello, Using PATH_MAX is not a good idea: POSIX says that that definition is facultative, in case the system does not impose any limit on path length. Some systems may also set PATH_MAX to a quite high value, and we would hence consume a lot of stack.

Hi, I recently downloaded and built dovecot-2.2.2 and dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.0 on GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. The changes needed will be sent to the Debian maintainer shortly. Latest Debian release is 2.1.7-7 and dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.1. When building dovecot-2.2.2 there were no PATH_MAX problems on GNU/Hurd, thank you for that. However, pigeonhole 0.4.0 had one remaining PATH_MAX construct.

Full_Name: Murray Stokely Version: 2.10.1 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (216.239.45.4) The Defn.h header includes limits.h for PATH_MAX and then checks if it hasn't been defined and if not sets something manually. Some of the R code uses PATH_MAX but a lot of other functions in unix/sys-unix.c and main/startup.c just hardcodes a limit of 256 characters. In my environment this is not

For the next patch which I am about to submit (liblongpath integration), I thought I we should have the autoconf havelib macros from gnulib (AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS). AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS would also be useful to facilitate linking to other external libraries (popt, zlib) where they are installed outside the default search path. To avoid a dependency on gnulib (which would, IIUC, require more

Dear R users,I have a long program that I am trying to run--I am using RStudio as my interface with R. The pieces of the program run well individually but when I try to run everything in sequence it bogs down because of a warning after using rollmax from package zoo. Here is the warning: "In rollmax.zoo(zoo(Pmat), 7, na.pad = FALSE, align = "right") : na.pad is deprecated. Use

Hi, After upgrading to b95 of OSOL/Indiana, and doing a ZFS upgrade to the newer revision, all arrays I have using ZFS mirroring are displaying errors.

blkid_probe_get_wholedisk_devno() isn''t available in some older versions of libblkid. It was used to work around an old bug in blkid_devno_to_wholedisk(), but that has been fixed since 5cd0823 libblkid: fix blkid_devno_to_wholedisk(), present in util-linux 2.17 and beyond. If we happen to be missing that fix, the worst that happens is that we''d fail to detect that a device is
