They should be commended for > that. I do it every chance I get :) And I personally appreciated your objectivity, alongside your dedication to the project. It's hard to find such a combo. Many people who put sweat into something are a bit eccentric. You are one who truly stands on the shoulders of others while lifting those above you far more than most. -- Bryan J.

That is not to say that the work of CentOS volunteers is > not to be appreciated. Don't get all worked up for nothing. And I think some of us agree with you. But as I said before, we're all standing on the shoulders of others. In general, I don't like "distro contests" because there's just so much overlap. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

I'll look through the source. Looks like it may be a bit more involved than just a simple SIGHUP. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Separate list for political/philosophical discussion
by Ugo Bellavance 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hi, How about creating another mailing list to let people vent themselves? It would make it easier for everyone, since technical/troubleshooting issues and opinions target different people. This messages is a test as well. I couldn't write to the list through gmane so I corrected the address with gmane admin. Hope this works. Regards,

Problems with mod_auth_ldap module
by Harald Finnås 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Just wondering if anyone's using the apache mod_auth_ldap module with require directives other than "valid-user"? Reason for asking is that no matter what require statement (except valid-user) I try to use, apache logs "unknown require directive". According to the ldap logs it does lookup, and find, the user in question. Any thoughts? Config error or bug? Regards, Harald

Re: Reboots -- lsof and SIGHUP, a combination to know ...

From: Simon Perreault <nomis80(a)lqt.ca> > Sure, theoretically it would be possible, but how would you restart this one? > [nomis80@poste10-153 ~]$ sudo lsof | grep libc | grep init > init 1 root mem REG 253,0 1521500 999437 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.5.so I need to verify the post-install script for the glibc RPM, but I believe it SIGHUPs the process -- and SIGHUP tells GLibC to reload itself for all new calls from any new process, while leaving the old code available for running processes. Building a tree of service calls and dependencies is the way to figure out what is using what -- even if indirectly. lsof does a fantastic job of this with the right option combinations (I need to look at my command history). Remember, UNIX experience is everything, and that means if I don't know, I get out a test system and throw something like a SIGHUP at it and see what happens. ;-> The lack of using UNIX-like signals in NT is what really makes me dislike NT. Sure, there are lots of UNIX libraries/services that don't always handle every signal -- and many just use SIGHUP as a hard restart. But many of the critical ones do. The majority of even Microsoft's own core libraries are completely ignorant of NT, as they were written for "Chicago." Get to know your UNIX/Linux platform. It's the best way to document procedures that you may need to have in a situation. One I regularly document is how SIGHUP affects different libraries/services. -- Bryan J.
