djbdns

Hi,
   I am using djbdns in my server. I configured tinydns according to the instructions in the site.
I added two domains example.com and dummy.com using add-ns, add-mx, etc. and edited data file for fixing
the nameserver name as ns1.mycompany.com instead of a.ns.mycompany.com. Below are the contents of my
data file

.1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:192.168.1.1:a:259200
.example.com:192.168.1.1:ns1.mycompnay.com:259200
.example.com:192.168.1.1:ns2.mycompany.com:259200
=example.com:192.168.1.1:86400
=www.example.com:192.168.1.1:86400
 <at> example.com:192.168.1.2:mail.example.com::86400
.dummy.com:192.168.1.1:ns1.mycompany.com:259200
.dummy.com:192.168.1.2:ns2.mycompany.com:259200
=dummy.com:192.168.1.1:86400
=www.dummy.com:192.168.1.1:86400
 <at> dummy.com:192.168.1.2:mail.dummy.com:10:86400

but when I "dig dummy.com  <at> ns1.mycompany.com" I am getting redundant lines in additional sections like

ns1.mycompany.com.        259200  IN      A       192.168.1.1
ns1.mycompany.com.        259200  IN      A       192.168.1.1
ns2.mycompany.com.        259200  IN      A       192.168.1.2
ns2.mycompany.com.        259200  IN      A       192.168.1.2

How to avoid this?

TIA

Because you are adding duplicate A records over there.

Edit the data file so that you don't mention the IP all that often.

To add an A record -

+www.mycompany.com:192.168.1.1:7200

that is - A record with a TTL 7200.

Open source - converting PDF to Word

Hi

Is there any software available in opensource for
converting pdf files into
editable word or openoffice supported formats?
My google search lists many such tools for windows but
none in Linux
platform.

Regarding loop devices!

Hi all,

I am planning to increase the maximum number of loop devices by editing 
the kernel source. I need this for mounting Debian SID ISO images. I 
plan to make it to 24 instead of default maximum 8.

I just wanted to know why the default maximum is 8. Are there any 
performance issues if I number of loop devices exceed 8. Did anybody 
increase beyond that and face any problem?

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.

I am sorry abou the early question since I just now came to know that 
for kernels > 2.2, there is no need for recompilation of the kernel to 
do this. I found this from

http://www.linux.com/howtos/CDServer-HOWTO/addloops.shtml

But anyways, does this degrades the performance?

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen.

Re: Regarding loop devices!


 It's not necessary to edit the Kernel source to 
  increase the no. of loop devices supported by your
  kernel. Just give an argument 
    max_loop=<no. that u want>
  while u boot if u have compiled in. or
    insmod <mod_name> max_loop=<no. that u want>
  if u have put as a module.

 some lines from the kernel ( drivers/block/loop.c )

 MODULE_PARM (max_loop, "i");
 MODULE_PARM_DESC (max_loop, "Max no. of loop dev
(1-255)" );

 This shows that no. of loop devices supported is
dynamic. The default value is 8.

You can convert them to .rtf format I guess - and word / star office etc 
should not have problems reading that.
