file->parent can be nil when the file has been previously removed.
removefile() deals with this, so skip the permission check in
that case and let removefile() error out.
some of us run auth servers from home that are used by multiple
servers on the internet. when the home authserver becomes unreachable,
services on the outside servers stop working. so we thought about
specifing a secondary auth servers for backup when the primary
server is not reachable.
this changes authdial() to consult multiple auth= entries in
the authdom= or dom= tuples, trying each one in order until
dial() succeeds.
from segattach(2):
Va and len specify the position of the segment in the
process's address space. Va is rounded down to the nearest
page boundary and va+len is rounded up. The system does not
permit segments to overlap. If va is zero, the system will
choose a suitable address.
just rounding up len isnt enougth. we have to round up va+len
instead of just len so that the span [va, va+len) is covered
even if va is not page aligned.
kenjis example:
print("%p\n",ap); // 206cb0
ap = segattach(0, "shared", ap, 1024);
print("%p\n",ap); // 206000

note that 0x206cb0 + 0x400 > 0x20700.
RFC2104 defines HMAC for keys bigger than the 64 byte block
size as follows:
Applications that use keys longer than B (64) bytes will
first hash the key using H (the hash function) and then
use the resultant L byte string as the actual key to HMAC.
this is a work in progress implementation of the ayiya (anything
in anything) protocol as used by sixxs.net. hiro tested it and it
worked for him, but progress has stalled as sixxs.net rejected my
request for an account and ignored my emails since.
after running ip/ipconfig -6, we are unable to ping our
own link-local address and the arp daemon sends out useless
neighbor solicitation requests to itself. this change
adds an arp entry for our ipv6 address. however, this
must not be done for tentative interface configuration.
allocate the Iplifc structure on the stack instead.
i assuming that it was allocated on heap in fear of
causing stack oveflow. on 386, this adds arround
88 bytes on the stack but it doesnt seem to cause
any trouble. (checked with poolcheck after ctl write)
we have to recheck the condition under tod lock, otherwise
another process can come in and updated tod.last and
tod.off and once we have the lock, we would make time
jump backwards.
unify the keyboard and mouse readers into one using the hid
report parser for both. remove the keyboard protocol handling,
as it is now handled by hid parser and all we get is a sequence
of keycodes in Hiddev.k[] which we diff for up/down and translate
to pc scancodes.
in backwards mode, the roles of the aan filters need to be
reversed. add "-n address" option to import to override the
announce address for the aan server part (default tcp!*!0).
