I ran ver_linux on the two systems (actually diferent partitions on the same box), and the results along with your results are below. In all cases your versions are later than mine. HOWEVER, please note that my problem was with COMPILING devfsd, not running it (havent got that far yet), It would seem that some of the include files in the RH7.0 system are wrong (or at least different), and caused my problem.

Me too, devfsd won't compile!!! I had to add this to devfsd.c # define RTLD_NEXT ((void *) -1l) that I yanked out of dlfcn.h My guess is that it has something to do with glibc 2.1.X and later... but I really haven't a clue...Richard Gooch would know but a direct e-mail to him gathered no response. So now it compiles, yeah there are probably other ways to do this and probably more correct... but I wanted to play with devfsd and see what it can do. It more or less works but Seg faults when I have GLOBAL in the devfsd.conf file. Do anyone have any idea what/where the following may be found (from man page) REGISTER mydir/mydev CFUNCTION GLOBAL >>>symlink<<< $devname mydev UNREGISTER mydir/mydev CFUNCTION GLOBAL >>>unlink<<< mydev wtf are the symlink/unlink functions? or are they symlink(2)/unlink(2)? If I add anything with a CFUNCTION GLOBAL as in the cdrom example in the manpage devfsd Seg. faults. on start up. I wish there were a better description of what MFUNCTION/CFUNTION GLOBAL etc does/is. Maybe a few examples of code/scripts cause the FAQ sucks in this regard. Some more working examples and descriptions would sure be nice! What I want to do is, if there is a lookup on /dev/tty1 then I want devfsd to create the symlink, when that reference goes away I want the tty1 symlink to disappear. REGISTER vc/.* MKOLDCOMPAT builds all kinds of crap in /dev that I don't want to see. (whats the point of going with a devfsd if that kind of name space pollution occurs?) right now most everything on my system has been converted to devfs naming conventions but there are still a few progs that want the old stuff...vmware etc. so I've built the symlinks in rc scripts, but i'd much rather devfsd do it on demand.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 21:33:51 -0700 From: reg@dwf.com Sender: owner-devfs@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;devfs-outgoing The question is simply how to get the sound modules to load when using the XMCD cd player. I see the list of aliases in modules.devfs, but none of these things seem to get tickled when XMCD starts. In fact the only way I have been able to get it to load (other than doing it manually) is to add 'emu10k1' to the end of the probeall /dev/cdroms line in /etc/modules.devfs. Not very nice since this seems out of place, and the file gets regenerated every now and then. SO HOW is one supposed to get these/this module loaded? Watching the MODPROBEs go by in /var/log/messages (I added a write near the top of modprobe) I dont see anything happening that one could hope to key on. -- Reg.Clemens reg@dwf.com From owner-devfs@oss.sgi.com Mon Dec 11 09:41:38 2000 Received: by oss.sgi.com id ; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 09:41:19 -0800 Received: from mailout06.sul.t-online.com ([194.25.134.19]:22031 "EHLO mailout06.sul.t-online.com") by oss.sgi.com with ESMTP id ; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 09:41:02 -0800 Received: from fwd00.sul.t-online.com by mailout06.sul.t-online.com with smtp id 145WwX-0004Ne-01; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:40:53 +0100 Received: from alpha.intern.brederlow.de (520045864123-0001@[62.158.20.145]) by fmrl00.sul.t-online.com with esmtp id 145WwI-0Bm4qeC; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:40:38 +0100 Received: from mrvn by alpha.intern.brederlow.de with local (Exim 3.16 #1 (Debian)) id 145WwT-0000Bb-00; Mon, 11 Dec 2000 18:40:49 +0100 To: jeffj@ro.com Cc: devfs@oss.sgi.com Subject: Re: terminals in X work only for root References: <200012091300.eB9D0Hu30727@mail.hiwaay.net> From: Goswin Brederlow Date: 11 Dec 2000 18:40:49 +0100 In-Reply-To: jeffj@ro.com's message of "Sat, 09 Dec 2000 06:45:21 -0600" Message-ID: <87hf4an9em.fsf@alpha.intern.brederlow.de> Lines: 4 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0807 (Gnus v5.8.7) XEmacs/21.1 (Channel Islands) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Sender: 520045864123-0001@t-dialin.net Sender: owner-devfs@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;devfs-outgoing What Version of X?
