Re: earthlink.net DSL How good? Suse 11.1 / Yast DSL...


Sir,

Thanks for the help.
I put in the kdebug n with n=5. Guess what ... *N*O*T*H*I*N*G*
shows up!. PPP is confirmed changing the name. I just read
O'reilly's "Security Power Tools". The "evdev*" .so and and .la
files are valid but the .ko file does not seem to exist and
this is necessary for kernel modules. Based on the oreilly book
I probably have a rootkit but ... 
Wireshark is showing my Netgear SAP/SDP announcements and there
should be an attempt to map the eth0 interface to the PPP
endpoints through the LLC level I am note sure how that can be
done but I am seeing no KDEBUG messages.....

Can I put printk messages in the pppoe driver....? Or am I
asking for trouble .... not sure if this is the lower half...

The oreilly book suggests a kernel module/.ko could make 
kernel syslog attempts fail....... and keep things out of
/sys and /proc trees....

Sincerely,

JC Magras

Did you try "debug" (not "kdebug")?

Hint: debug is for the connection level of pppd, kdebug for the kernel 
driver. You need to confirm the pppd-level first.

There should be SOMETHING in your logs from pppd. Please 
check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for entries that contain pppd 
or PPP.

What PPPoE driver variant are you using? In my experience the userspace 
pppoe driver works best (also known as Roaring Penguin driver).

What does the generic input driver (read: keyboard/mouse) have to do with 
DSL?

Now for your "problem": evdev is probably compiled into your kernel - so you 
wouldn't have a problem. If under /sys/class/input/ you have directories 
with names like "event1", "event2" than the evdev driver is running just

It's the next generation filesystem for Linux. Designed by a guy at
Oracle and amongst the developers is one who worked on ZFS at Sun, but
it's better organised than ZFS, cleaner, faster and has features ZFS
doesn't.
EXT4 will be superceded by BTRFS, acknowledged by the ext4 developers.
Linus is currently using it for his rootfs. I am thinking of putting a
spare HD into one of my boxes and use it for root.
The overview article I read via linuxtoday.com is very long. Novell,
IBM, RedHat, Oracle, Fujitsu and others are actively part of the
development team headed by Chris Mason (ex-Novell) of Oracle.

I am getting there slowly with my Beagleboard and the Angstrom embedded
Linux distro. I hope soon to start building the SDR apps on it and use

Re: [Fwd: Re: NV and 2.6.31-rc3]

Take a look at the Phoronix tests for the current BTRFS builds. It'll be
a bit before it's ready to replace EXT but at least they are working on it.

Linux Against Poverty Workshop

Ladies and Gentlemen;

Just wanted to say what a pleasure I felt working with you all at the 
Linux Against Poverty charity workshop.  While we didn't make our goal 
due to apparent network equipment issues, I felt the effort (and, 
meeting new Linux nuts!) was well worth the trip from San Antonio, and  
I wouldn't mind doing it again in the future.   Question:  Where are the 
machines that we did get up going?

Cheers;
Ed
San Antonio
