'real' ftp servers never have a gui.

But I NEED my big, shiny, candy-like buttons.


:lol: :lol:

anyway to run a secure ftp under unix you need more than just configuring the daemon so once again there's no gui.
webmin is nice but also only if you know the system i.e. you know what you're doing.

looks really good. want to have the demo, too :D

java seems to make problems in general.
we had countless issues with all versions in the past.

so if it works -> nice.
if not -> never mind. try next version :D

Probably an urban myth but I remember hearing something about a full day on an 8 processor Origin in Irix .... yuck !


true but because as i said the bad smp features.
anyhow the current version on nt or even linux is far from prod. quality anyway :D

depends on what you do. just for basic text it's okay but as soon as it gets bigger...
anyway sometimes i was under the impression that the irix version is more stable than others :D

Has anyone tried compiling the latest version of Bluefish (1.0.4?) or NVu (Composer on steroids)? Is it a project worth tackling?

i made several nvu versions.
have a look into my folder.

I wonder if they were building with -j8 ?

I'd hate to think that make was running serial jobs rather than parallel on an 8-way system.


they used jobserver options of course.

last week i edited a 540mb text file with nedit. it took about 2 minutes to load but editing was not a prob at all :)
unthinkable with my x86 :D

jeffcorbets wrote: foetz,

Yeah, I peeked in your folder last night after I posted the message and saw Nvu 1.0... downloaded and fiddled with it early this morning. It's certainly better than Composer, but it is pretty slugish on my dual-processor Octane.

How about the latest Bluefish?

~Jeff Corbets


no smp support on all mozilla apps at all :cry:
so on a dual machine the second cpu is ignored...

i would go for a nice editor with synt.highl.

So the google description was all jumbled and messy. They have since removed the site from their index, and have ignored my request to reinstate it.


that's strange. i used nedit for years as my primary editor and never had any issues.

Uh, oh. What if I have to configure my JetDirect 500X printserver via its web interface?
That one is so heavily javaed that FF1.07 does not display it,
even my iMacs Safari refuses to talk to that device.

Sigh.

How can CUPS work around Hewlett-Packards Firmware in the JedDirect 500X printserver device eventually ?

Btw., I´m pretty content with Impressario.

whiter wrote: not true.

I just found out you can remove items by adding a line like

Code: Select all

remove Itemname
to the .auxchestrc file. So that leaves the questions about how to add items on a specific location, and how to 'overwrite' an item. (could be done by deleting it first ofcourse, and then re-adding at the specific location. But how to do that?)


to modify the toolchest systemwide edit /usr/lib/X11/system.chestrc or /usr/lib/X11/nodesktop.chestrc.
r-a-c.de
in this case i would just ignore the deps.

Kick ass, thanks. :D

to be more flexible you might wanna write a script and call that from the toolchest.

doesn't have to be a loss.
the hp scsi scanners e.g. are terrific.
none of these slim, light usb toys can keep up there.

Actually, I talked to a person at SGI. The problem is not the password program, it is the login program. Login only looks at the first 8 characters regardless of how many are set by passwd. He suggested that pam might help with this, but he wasn't sure. I have next to no exprerience setting up pam.

Perhaps there is another way, which I am unaware.


well, depends on which auth. mechanism you rely.
however i think a good 8 chars password should be sufficient. there're many other more critical things to do first and if you're that paranoid you have to use trusted irix anyway :D

well i have to wonder a bit.
do you really think a password beyond 8 chars will significantly increase security?
i have to repeat "a good 8 chars password should be sufficient. there're many other more critical things to do first and if you're that paranoid you have to use trusted irix".

By 2010 microprocessors will seem like really old ideas. Motherboards will end up in museum collections. And the whole ecology that we have around so-called industry standard systems will collapse as it becomes increasingly obvious that the only place that computer design actually happens is by those who are designing chips. Everything downstream is just sheet metal. The apparent diversity of computer manufactures is a shattered illusion. In 2010, if you can't craft silicon, you can't add value to computer systems. You'd be about as innovative as a company in the 90's who couldn't design a printed circuit board.

even if we had all paperwork directly from sgi's financial dept. it would still be hard to say what exactly made problems and what was good.

all these 'what happened' or 'who didn't clear the toilet in bishop's room' threads are so useless...

ShadeOfBlue wrote: OK, here's that sysmp code I wrote some time ago. It's nothing fancy, just reads the data.
If I remember correctly, the loads are in CPU time (ie. they tell you how much time in total has the CPU spent in user, kernel, idle, ... state), but don't take my word for it - you should probably check some manpages first :) .
It should give an output similar to this:

Code: Select all

2 CPU(s); Page size = 16384 bytes
Memory: 1104 MB free, 431 MB used;  1536 MB total
CPU0: 282134 user, 26628 kern, 0 sxbrk, 2928 intr, 2024597 idle, 3504 wait
CPU1: 86504 user, 21074 kern, 0 sxbrk, 1404 intr, 2228580 idle, 2201 wait



Hope that will be of some use to your project :)

EDIT: Just wanted to add this: to get percentages, you will probably have to gather the data for all processors, usleep() for some time (like maybe half a second, or a second), gather the loads again and compute the percentages from that.
At least that seems to be what `top` and the like do.


to provide it to everybody i compiled it and i hope it's okay for you.
