  • Patch aganst 2.4.6 to remove use of Internet::Mail module

    I know the author means well, but there's little sense in a heavy module such as Internet::Mail, especially given the lightweight use of mail in this module. All that is neeed is a recipient, subject, and message body -- things handled well by "standard" modules such as Net::SMTP and sendmail -t. This patch gives the system admin the choice of using either sendmail -t, or for portability, via...

  • Comment: nodeattr module fails

    The link to nodeattr is on sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nodeattr. There was an update to the trunk 2 months ago. It might also be useful to append to the "genders" blurb at https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/downloads.html. Something like "This outmodes nodeattr" or something. Now that I have installed nodeattr, however, I wonder why I should switch to genders? It just seems...

  • Comment: nodeattr module fails

    "The pdsh nodeattr module is meant to support older genders releases (when nodeattr was a perl script)." -- It still is a perl script. At least that's what's here on sourceforge, and is pointed to by the LLNL website. I looked through the SVN history of that module -- no -r option seems to ever have been supported. Maybe it was a really old version. So is this a bug with nodeattr??.

  • Comment: Fix usage when no options provided

    This is fixed in the latest version of the SVN trunk.

  • Expand hosts like host[1-5]

    Currently, the -l option and check-mode try to match entries against their literal entry. However, if /etc/genders contains host entries like "server[1-4]", as used with pdsh, this is useless. This patch expands those hostnames when matching. Normally, the output is as before, but if the -e option is added, the host entries are expanded on output (producing server1,server2,server3, etc instead...

  • nodeattr module fails

    The nodeattr module invokes nodeattr with "-rn". WTF is -rn? The most recent nodeattr module does not support a -r option.

  • Fix usage when no options provided

    *bug fix* Behavior is undefined when no option or query is provided. This patch merely has the usage printed out.

  • Spec file upgrade

    Here is a spec file that is more friendly than the version in 1.0. It allows the administrator to install RPMs as other RPMs are installed, and allows site-specific configuration to be used, instead of hard-coded variables. Bug: sysconfdir is used, but the nodeattr program itself will always look in /etc regardless.

  • From 1.4 to 2.0

    This is a step-wise patch from 1.4 to 2.0. As of this writing, there is no 1.4 release; rather, 1.4 consists of 1.3 plus a patch I submitted to fix several bugs. See my previous posting about the "child of" feature that bumps this up to 2.0.

  • security bug fixes to 1.4

    1.3 contains several security-related bugs and memory leaks. The worst is that the function log() is not made private (via static). My tests on a Linux box resulted in segmentation faults on certain programs which also defined a log() function. Also, in the argument-copy block, snprintf() is not doing anything exciting here, and the min() function around snprintf means it is being executed...
