I notice that (Mandrake) Linux and Windows do not seem to operate alike in terms of installing third party software.
Windows, on one hand, creates icons and adds items to the Start Menu, with the help of the InstallShield--or equivalent, of course, but Linux, on the other hand, seems to care... (3 Replies)

Hello.
The last days I extended an open-source C++ library by some faster functions. This library provides a lot of short test programs which guarantee that the library works exactly.
The compilation of each test works in a Makefile automatically.
What I need is a shell script which... (5 Replies)
Hey guys,
Suppose i run passwd via bash shell. It is a suid program, which temporarily runs as root(owner) and modifies the user entries.
However, when i write a C file and give 4755 permission and root ownership to the 'a.out' file , it doesn't run as root in bash shell. I verified this by... (2 Replies)

attach
ATTACH(5) File Formats Manual ATTACH(5)NAME
attach, session, nop - messages to initiate activity
SYNOPSIS
Tnop tag[2]
Rnop tag[2]
Tsession tag[2] chal[8]
Rsession tag[2] chal[8] authid[28] authdom[48]
Tattach tag[2] fid[2] uid[28] aname[28] ticket[72] auth[13]
Rattach tag[2] fid[2] qid[8] rauth[13]
DESCRIPTION
The nop request does nothing overt but may be used to synchronize the channel between two service hosts initially.
The session request is used to initialize a connection between a client and a server. All outstanding I/O on the connection is aborted.
The set of messages between session requests is called a session. The host's user name (authid) and its authentication domain (authdom)
identify the key to be used when authenticating to this host. The exchanged challenges (chal) are used in the authentication algorithm.
If authid is a null string no authentication is performed in this session.
The tag should be NOTAG (value 0xFFFF) for a nop or session message.
The attach message serves as a fresh introduction from a user on the client machine to a server. The message identifies the user (uid) and
may select the file tree to access (aname). The ticket and auth arguments contains authorization data derived from the exchanged chal-
lenges of the session message; see auth(6).
As a result of the attach transaction, the client will have a connection to the root directory of the desired file tree, represented by
fid. An error is returned if fid is already in use. The server's idea of the root of the file tree is represented by the returned qid.
ENTRY POINTS
An attach transaction will be generated for kernel devices (see intro(3)) when a system call evaluates a file name beginning with Pipe(2)
generates an attach on the kernel device pipe(3). The mount system call (see bind(2)) generates an attach messages to the remote file
server. When the kernel boots, an attach is made to the root device, root(3), and then an attach is made to the requested file server
machine.
