[9fans] latest plan 9 kernel source for lguest

[9fans] latest plan 9 kernel source for lguest

[ron minnich]

the latest kernel source for running against the kernel I just sent is
/n/sources/contrib/rminnich/lguest/lg23.tar
(or will be in a few minutes)

it includes a script, bin/rc/lguest, to set up the namespace for
building the kernel.

There's still some junk files in there and anyone who wants to clean
it up a bit and tell me about it is most welcome.

I'm going to try to do a new THNX release in the next few days. If you
have recommendations I'll take them.

I can no longer get the ipw3945 to work at all on linux, iwconfig no
longer seems to function completely, things key encryption keys don't
set right. Ah, the joy of binary interfaces. So 20th century. Well,
really, they feel 19th century but anyway ... "This program was
compiled for version xy of the wireless interface, but you're on
version xz, so abandon all hope"

[9fans] cpu/auth warlock

[maht]

Wizard sounds too friendly and reliable :>

I've been working on a script to turn a fresh install into a cpu/auth server

I've put what I've got so far on sources

/n/sources/contrib/maht/rc/make_cpuauth

or http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/maht/rc/make_cpuauth

What it does is work through the steps laid out in

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Configuring_a_standalone_CPU_server/

All the way up to the REBOOT section

and adds a script /sys/lib/newfsysuser
that adds a new user via auth/chaneguser and adds that user to fossil in group sys

If you like you can then run auth/login -u $user on the auth terminal as bootes
followed by /sys/lib/newuser
and exit back to bootes

or else do it once you drawterm in


What it doesn't do :
1. Set up the file server part
	I didn't work out how to do that, the wiki page is a bit intimidating

2. Set up mail
	I haven't got mine to work yet so no point adding it to the script
	Mail files are owned upas:upas and mode 775 so I'm not sure how to write them
	unless I mount fossil -AWP

3. Set up DHCPD
	Again, I've not got that far in my own setup yet

other stuff, please let me know

If people are interested in using it it probably needs a bit of toughening up.
I've been using QEMU in snapshot mode to test it, so failure had few consequences.

Very cool!

What wiki page are you referring to?

I might be missing something, but any reason not to just add bootes to
group upas?

the hostowner must be in group upas. all users allowed to mail must be
in group upas.

that's news to me.

s:to mail:to receive mail:g

if that's still news to you, then maybe something has change?

Re: [9fans] mail warlock

[maht]

I've done a not so complicated script for the mail configuration

it uses -AWP so you need to run it on the console

It asks you what default domain name to use and then direct or gateway

/n/sources/contrib/maht/rc/warlock_mail

or http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/maht/rc/warlock_mail

[9fans] ip/httpd/mirror

[maht]

/magic/mirror /magic/mirror on the wall
What are the parameters of this call ?

ip/httpd/mirror: '/bin/ip/httpd/mirror' does not exist

though httpd(8) states otherwise

I can't check history on sources to see where/why it went away because
*.cs.bell-labs.com is not there today.

Re: [9fans] ip/httpd/mirror

[erik quanstrom]

         ip/httpd/mirror [-b inbuf] [-d domain] [-r remoteip] [-w
          webroot] [-N netdir] method version uri [search]

...

          Mirror is a trivial server that just returns the method,
          URI, any search, the headers, and the message body sent by
          the client.

don't know why it went away, but it would be simple enough to write.

[9fans] 9pccpuf

[maht]

I was wondering why 9pccpuf isn't included in the distribution when other kernels are ?

The wiki seems to think it should be present :

> You need to use a cpu/auth kernel, the existing one in /386/9pccpuf should work.

Has it dropped out by accident ?
