similar to: [PATCH 0/3] Small improvements and fixes to urandom.

OCaml 4.02 introduced the 'bytes' type, a mutable string intended to replace the existing 'string' type for those cases where the byte array can be mutated. In future the 'string' type will become immutable. This is not the default now, but it can be forced using the '-safe-string' compile option. I tested this on Fedora 24 (OCaml 4.02) & RHEL 7 (OCaml 4.01).

There's not going to be an easy way to present this patch. It's huge and interconnected. Anyway, what it does is lay the groundwork for a new tool which I'm calling 'virt-customize'. virt-customize is virt-builder, but without the part where it downloads a template from a respository. Just the part where it customizes the template, that is, installing packages, editing

Hi all, these are the remaining unapplied patches of the ARM HDLCD patch series.

Same patch as just posted, but this is the modified version required for the stable-1.32 branch. Rich.

I''ve been messing around with Ferret (no punn intended). After spending some time testing it out (indexing to file), I decided to index about 10% of the data I want to eventually index. It took several hours to complete the index on my local machine, but it was created without any problems and after optimising it the searches returned results at the sort of speed I was expecting. I

Hello, I am currently using ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3 on windows XP All my unit and functions test that used to work before I installed ferret are erroring out. My index is on a model name Post, and it looks like all tests that contains methods which does CRUD to the Post model bombs out. Is there anything special I need to do before running unit and functional test? Thanks

Last year we had a discussion[1] about how the hypercall ABI unfortunately contains fields that change width between 32- and 64-bit builds. This is a huge problem as we come up on the python management stack for ppc64, since the distributions ship 32-bit python. A 32-bit python/libxc cannot currently manage a 64-bit hypervisor. I had a patch but was unable to test it, and some other things were

This is a PoC patch for NFSv4/ZFS ACLs. The objective of the patch is that rsync --acls support NFSv4/ZFS ACLs without requiring a new command line option NFSv4 ACLs can't be represented using POSIX draft ACLs, if an NFSv4 ACL is present a separate POSIX draft ACL will not be present and there are new APIs to access NFSv4 ACLs. So we need to distinguish between NFSv4 ACLs and POSIX ACLs in

This is just the utilities part of the patch series from: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00103.html I believe this addresses everything raised in comments on that patch series. Rich.

OK. Didn't see anything about this in the archives, other than an old post from 2000 about a similar problem, so here goes. Feel free to contact me if I can provide anything else useful. Problem: -------- Major numbers on 64bit Solaris are being dropped, and created as 0 on recieving end. 32bit version works perfectly. Environment: ------------ Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 (haven't tried

Hi all, I've frustrated myself the last few days yelling at our link training code. Comparing the i915 code to radeon and nouveau I've noticed the lack of a nice set of dp helper functions. So I've started to extract a few. There's lots more that we can do I think (link configuration selection, the i2c over aux retry stuff which diverges already between i915 and radeon, maybe

This one-line patch prevents OpenSSH from depleting entropy unnecessarily from /dev/urandom when the OpenSSL library acquires its own entropy. Without this patch OpenSSH opens /dev/urandom and reads 32 bytes, and then OpenSSL opens it again and reads an additional 20. -- Dan Astoorian People shouldn't think that it's better to have Sysadmin, CSLab loved and

if i want to learn more about implementing a /dev/urandom, where would be a good place to start? thanks, wendy -- wendy palm Cray OS Sustaining Engineering, Cray Inc. wendyp at cray.com, 651-605-9154

As it turns out, you don't need to configure OpenSSL 0.9.6c in any special way to have support for /dev/urandom - it automatically tries to use it if it exists on a Unix system. So, I compiled the current snapshot using "--with-rand-helper=no" and everything appears to build and work fine on Solaris 8. Ed Ed Phillips <ed at udel.edu> University of Delaware (302) 831-6082

Hello, Being new to the list i hope this question has not been asked before.... As you might know Solaris 9 supportes /dev/random and /dev/urandom bij default and earlier version need to install a patch to have these devices.... But the configuration script under Solaris (Sparc/X86) does not test the existing of the devices... is this to be known as a error/bug? and is there a patch? thanks --

I feel very silly asking this, because I saw the answer to this question one time and can't remember what it was. OpenSSH uses /dev/urandom or /dev/random which Solaris does not have (verified with a call to the Sun software folks). How do I make OpenSSH happy with a Solaris substitute for /etc/urandom? Thanks Tim Nibbe Supervisor of System Administration Sprint IP Dial Support Services

on solaris7/sparc this device doesn't exists i can use EGD but he very big (perl script!) - in memory it take about 4mb! apache use the same! why ssh1.27 doesn't requre /dev/urandom on solaris? what alternatives exists?

Hey, I''m trying to install ruby on rails on windows xp with cygwin. I installed the rails gem but when I go to create an application I get the following : "No such file or directory - /dev/urandom" the error seems to be coming form secret_key_generator.rb line 22. But I can''t find a file of that name Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Hi gurus, I like zpool iostat and I like system monitoring, so I setup a script within sma to let me get the zpool iostat figures through snmp. The problem is that as zpool iostat is only run once for each snmp query, it always reports a static set of figures, like so: root at exodus:snmp # zpool iostat -v capacity operations bandwidth pool used avail read
