Perhaps the Sun n1GE Grid-Engine Software would be useful in this
instance?
The tools are really meant to schedule jobs across many machines,
with many
CPUs, but you could probably repurpose their scheduling tools to
restrictuser jobs to one CPU on a single system with similar ease.

A wrapper script that takes what is to be executed, check it out and
then dplace it to a certain CPU(s) comes to mind. Since dplace
can also
maintain a global count of all active tasks in each CPU that
should not
be a problem for you to check out what happens at your end.

If it's not going to be a wrapper script, then that could form
part of
your queue system scripts. We handle this issue by placing the
dplace> arguments in our PBS scripts.

Maybe someone has a more straightforward solution, but this is
what we do.

I have an SGI box that I want to be able to allow certain
users access
only to certain processors. I looked at dplace and cpuset,
but they
both rather require the user to manage the jobs. As this is
less than
perfect, is there a way to limit a user to be able to run jobs
on only
certain CPUs, similar to sudo where a user my be able to have root

I have a laptop with a Broadcom wireless card. The Broadcom

appears to indicate it supports Linux. I don't know how to
configure
Linux to support the card. When installing and starting up the
wireless
card is not discovered.

How do I add the Broadcom to Fedora 5?

Hi,

Running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 2).

We have a barcode reader that will only work with an older version of
kermit than that which is supplied with AS4. The vendor isn't
upgradingtheir barcode software for a few more months. We are
moving our
inventory application, which requires files to be loaded from the
barcode reader, from TRU-64 to Redhat. The version of kermit needed
which works is cu188 [Kermit 5A(188)] but I only have the binary for
TRU-64. I've found some links through Google to the source but the
linksno longer exist.

Has anyone out there a copy of the source that I can get, please?

Thanks for your time,

Wayne

you can probably find src RPMS for older versions of kermit on

Hi,

in the last week and today again our PE1750 with raid 1, dual CPU
freezes. The OS is RHEL 4 with kernel-smp-2.6.9-34.EL. We used
kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL before and AFAIK there where no freezes.

A couple of days before the freezing starts, we changed one defect
harddisk and rebuildet the raid with a new harddisk from dell. Other
hardware/software wasn't changed

Any ideas?

If you can't find the 188 version, I've got source to the 190 version
from 4/1995. Its newer than what you're looking for, but it might
work. I've also got the 192 version from 12/1996.

Hi,

I need to know how much data has been recorded to a tape within
some interval
(for example, the last 10 minutes). Using Solaris, I can obtain
this information
using kstat (using the appropriate options, I can learn how many bytes
has passed

I have been looking at howtos and googling for a couple of weeks
and
can't seem to find the answer to fix an autofs problem.

I am using RHEL4 with a 2.6.9 kernel.


under RH7.3 and a 2.4.x kernel I had a /etc/auto.net file with the

following entries:


dragon -fstype=smbfs,rw,credentials=/opt/
dragonlo,gid=10009,fmask=660,dmask=770 ://10.1.1.223/anyuser
sting -fstype=smbfs,rw,credentials=/opt/
stinglo,gid=10009,fmask=660,dmask=770 ://10.1.1.35/Export


This worked fine to mount /net/dragon and /net/sting.


Upgrading the machine to RHEL4 with a 2.6.9 kernel

I can still mount /net/dragon but not /net/sting. The difference
between the two machine is that dragon/10.1.1.223is a Mac running
MacOS 10.4.x and sting/10.1.1.35 is a WinXP machine.

A little more googling yielded that I should replace smbfs to cifs

and as a result some of the other option names changed.

so now the entry for sting looks like this:

sting -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/opt/
stinglo,uid=500,gid=10009,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770
://10.1.1.35/
Export

but it still is not working.

Can someone tell me what is wrong and/or point me to documentation
to
get this to work.

[snip]

With my RHEL 4 rebuild, I'm using the following for an XP Pro client:

[ewilts@pe400 ~]$ cat /etc/auto.samba
twilts -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/usr/local/d800.credentials

It works just fine...

I'm still using smbfs... kernel 2.6.9-34.

What module are you using that's tainting your kernel?

I found that using a third-party MPPE module (now included with
the kernel
proper) would cause kernel panics like this when in SMP mode.
Running in
single processor mode fixed the problem. Fortunately we didn't
really need
that second CPU anyways.
