Does python suck?
A lot of devs in my workplace use python for multithreaded apps: I suspect because it's easier than learning a native C interface. I noticed recently that python uses a global locking mechanism(at least on unix) for base functionality. I've also discovered that OO in python is no better than... -
send windows for screen to screen?
A friend of mine wants to know: "Do you know how to send a tcl/tk window from one screen to another on the same machine? I found you can get the current screen name using 'winfo screen', but I have yet to find out how to change it dynamically." Since I'm not a tk guy, does anybody have a clue? -
nis authentication fails
Sorry to crosspost between HP, and here but HP looks dead... Working with an HP-UX B.10.20 A 9000/750.. I've have been tasked with integrating this into a nis domain served by freebsd nis servers. The nis authentication works for linux hosts and with ssh keys in place the HP-UX authenticates...- marsd

nis authentication fails
Hi, all. Working with an HP-UX B.10.20 A 9000/750.. I've have been tasked with integrating this into a nis domain served by freebsd nis servers. The nis authentication works for linux hosts and with ssh keys in place the HP-UX authenticates the keyed nis user, however, passwd authentication...- marsd

pthreads, RH Ent3 and kernel 2.4.27
Using a vanilla kernel (2.4.27) on RH ent3. The reasons for this can't be explained, but accept that it is needful and unavoidable for the time being. It seems like any multihreaded app utilizing pthreads segfaults uncontrollably. I've also read of at least one other case like mine with...- marsd

Quick info on vt100 conformance in a serial comm package
I've recently run into a snag with a switch IOS that pretty much demands a hyperterminal interface to their switches yet proclaims their IOS vt100 compatible and gives control parameters that are easily settable. I'm very tempted to code a local interface to these devices but have run smack... -
IPX access list problem
I need to rate limit ipx rip traffic over 5 wan links = 3 frame links, 2 smds links. I need to sap inspect broadcasts and advertise their availability to clients before the broadcast so proprietary filtration can make a determination of whether or not to actually advertise. If not I need an acl... -
Another approach.
How would you guys consider dealing with this? Problem: 1.Open a random file in a directory. 2.Seek to a random point in the selected file. 3.Read from file till a certain char is found or eof. 4.If char is found: read and print to stdout till matching char is found on the 'other end' of the... -
So why does everybody use Cisco?
Am I the only one who gets tired of cisco pushing their cracked idea of an IOS on people, with counterintuitive syntax(NAT), ordinally stupid access lists, unix like 'improvisations' that don't go far enough, and basically bad attitude support. Anybody with similar ideas or bad experiences... -
Unique sorting of char * data in linked list.
I would like to be able to find the most efficient algo for removing duplicates from an unsorted simple linked list with the datatype being a 'string'. Any examples, or references? -
New to PHP
Hi all.. I'm new to PHP but decided that it was worth looking into. I've considerable experience with other languages and web development in general using older methods (cgi and javascript based solutions). Can somebody give me an overview of the ways they use PHP that are simpler/better than... -
Has anyone dealt with strange pty/tty problems
..using socket and fork with expect and the genric tcl tcp socket interface? Here's my code for the server and client, which works fine when there is an active (t|p)ty open, but dies without. Client: proc mkTime {} { return [binary format H* [clock format [clock seconds] -format... -
Easy *nix Timeserver
Does anyone have any suggestions or code referrals for a trivial timeserver that accepts an epoch time stamp and sets the system date entirely in C without root privileges throughout? I've looked at the function defs for a day and have come up empty since settimeofday() is a little rigid... -
Gawk 3.1.3

Mp3 decoding/encoding C api
I've been asked to help clean up some mp3 code but have very little experience with this stuff. Does anybody know of a nice api that handles many of the low level details or docs good for a newbie to this type of programming, and who has a good/fair grasp of ansi and unix C? -
find and xargs/exec variable
Hi, all I have not used find extensively, usually because I could do it another way with greater flexibility. Yesterday I had a situation where it was perfect. A number of files in various subdirectories, all named identically, needed one line changed. Calling find I was able to do what I...- marsd

Anybody using BM 3.7?
The novell review seems skimpy. I was recently contacted by a client who is interested in using BM due to design issues and is currently using BM 3.5. I have used 3.5 and do not think highly of it. Does anyone know of any use reviews or upgrade issues for a shop using netware 5.1/BM 3.5?- marsd
