Hi
I have one doubt regarding the network implementation.
In a standard point to point protocol we have 2
interfaces i.e. 1>a pppd (ppp daemon) which takes care
of writing into lower layer (serial device) and 2> a
kernel module which writes the IP packet to the ppp
layer. Though I am being able to find out the
lower interface I am not being able to figure out how
actually PPP reads an IP packet from the upper layer.
I searched through /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/drivers/net
directory but not getting any idea. Can anybody kindly
tell me how IP packets r read by PPP from upper layer
( the file where it is implemented ).

thanx in advance..

Thanks for the same. So,this means gdb cant be used for kernel level
debugging?
I tried to find out some online doc for kgdb similar to gdb. does gdb
doc suffice for running kgdb? kgdb page says kernel 2.4.x but I have
2.2.18 will kgdb run on this?

Hi,
	Is there some display card that has TV out support and can be used with
Linux X Windows? I want to do graphical status display but a few cards I

Hi all,

Anjuta 0.1.7 has been released. This is a stable release of anjuta
following the previous 0.1.6 stable release recently. Many of the vital
bugs in 0.1.6, regarding the application wizards and the project
management, have been fixed.

To get the detailed announcement of this versatile gnome IDE, please
visit http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/.

Don't forget to drop a mail to me to tell how you like the latest stable
release. To report bugs and other project related stuff, please send the
mails in the anjuta mailing list (not to me), because there is higher
chances of getting the mails replied there.

Anjuta IDE has been under heavy development recently, In fact, the last
gnome development review put it in the first 20 most active modules (out
of some 300 modules).

If you people care, the next developmental leap will start with anjuta2
(the next generation) targeted for the gnome2 scheduled to be released
on the late December this year.

The anjuta2 architecture will be built on top of the BONOBO component
system - the recent break through in object embedding and sharing.

While anjuta2 development goes through it's development, the current
anjuta-1.x serie will continue on it's own, untill, of course, the
anjuta2 is ready for shipment with gnome2. anjuta-1.x series will be
deprecated there onwards.

I hope I haven't bored you enough.:-) I though this might be something
interesting to some of the people in this list.

The IT culture in India has undergone a big leap in the recent years.
Many IT institutes/companies came into existence. The IT awareness among
the Indians have also increased drastically in the recent years.

While the break throughs in bleeding-edge technologies have also their
influence on the indian minds, but most of them tend to concentrate on
the products related to microsoft and other propritary software giants.

The main cause for this is because of the large market shares these
people have. Gradually, as the open source softwares find their way into
the commertial markets, things would, of course, change. Now that the
magic is happening, we are sure that in a few years, open source would
become a full blown platform for software development.

US seems to be having a big influence on the indian IT industries. While
that may sound good from the economic point of view, a sad question
about the freedom of Indian IT culture arises.

I am cross posting this discussion on
 linux-india-programmers@... mailing list so that the
discussions could be continued. We have some great people in this list
and I do hope that they will continue the discussion.

Hi,

Can someone help me in following:

(1.) How do I configure Kernel in Linux(I am using PCQ
Linux 7.1)? There might be certain device drivers etc
being loaded during boot time which I don't require
and hence I want to configure my kernel

(2.) How do I write a C/Java program connecting to
MySQL, Postgrsql, Sybase ASE 11 and Oracle 8i.
In windows we have ODBC/JDBC/ODBC:JDBC bridge. Is
there an equivalent in Linux.

Regards.
Ajitabh

hi,

I think u r listening on loop back address (server)
better change it to your interface ip address.

also,
at inet_pton () it will be better if you
explicitly convert socke structure to 
(struct sockaddr *) instead of 
u_int32_t something like this

Hey Naren, but then what about the inclusive oring ? If the above
equality is valid, then the inclusive oring does not work in this case ?

Hi All,

According to the open() man page, we can use any one of O_RDONLY,
O_WRONLY and O_RDWR. If I use something like:
open("/tmp/aaa", O_RDONLY|O_WRONLY); it works.

Now my question is, if I use it this way, should the open call not fail,
saying that this is not allowed ? How do we know in which mode is the
file being opened ?

Cheers,
--amar

Go poke around http://www.sourceforge.net for interesting projects, join

They should do - for a start.

Aren't doors a kind of Local Procedure Calls (like RPC, only that
doors cannot work over networks)?

I believe Stevens has something to say about doors. The network
programming book (vol 2, I think).

Hi ayan
 The best way to poke into kernel is first to get
through the knowledge of OS Design and then identify
your proper field of interest such as Memory
Management, Scheduler, Device Driver Design, etc. Then
after proper study of design of an UNIX OS(tenenbaum
is good) go through the kernel source and header files
in linux. you will find it all there. Anyway these
books are always handy for any kernel programmers:
1. Linux device Driver --Rubini(online version
available)
2. Linux Kernel - Cesati and Boveti
3. Design of UNIX OS - Maurice Bach

For online reference search at
http://www.google.com/linux 

http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/lkmpg/mpg.html
Enjoy hackin kernel
