unionfs?
by Neal Becker
The new linuxjournal has an article on a unionfs implementation. It sounds
like it would be a great addition. Only problem, the article doesn't seem
to have any link to the code.
Anyone have any opinions on this?

nscd gotcha
by Brian Millett
My server at home uses a dyndns server to keep the current ip address
uptodate. Well this morning, the lease expired and it got a new ip. No
problem there. But I could not get to my mail any more. Strange. I
checked to see what it was resolving to:
[bpm]$ dig mail.momillett.org
; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> mail.momillett.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 47274
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

momillett.org. 46 IN A 65.65.192.189
;; Query time: 1 msec

;; WHEN: Wed Nov 10 08:23:15 2004
;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 66
Ok, that is good, but when I tried to connect as a test, it did not resolv
to the correct ip:
[bpm]$ telnet mail.momillett.org 80
Trying 64.123.62.207...
telnet: connect to address 64.123.62.207: Connection refused
I was quite stumped until I saw (strace is nice) that a new service: nscd
was running. Ok, so I restarted the nscd daemon, and still a problem.
Ok, man pages..... Gee it was working as it should. There was not a
negative request as the old addr had been reassigned and was alive. Only
the name had been reassigned to a different ip.
So, should nscd be updated when a 'host','dig', or 'nslookup' request is
done? I am playing with the /etc/nscd.conf to tune it for my particular
setup, but I was wondering what triggers a refresh, or update of the
cached database?
Also, there is not an entry to the bugzilla for nscd.
Thanks.

jigdo distribution
by Michael A. Peters
Recomondation for FC4 - make the distribution fetchable via jigdo.
A big advantage of jigdo is it allows the user to use a local mirror to
fetch the rpm's etc. that are on the iso's - without the local mirror
needing to host iso files.
The torrent works well for fetching fedora - and should certainly
remain as a distribution option, but many people can not use torrent
because of firewall issues or company/school policy. Since jigdo uses
ftp/http and does not open ports for serving, that's not an issue.
I don't know of jigdo works with DVD images, but by the time a mirror
has packages, src packages, cd images, dvd images, that's a LOT of
space it needs and it just seems that a smarter solution would be
something like jigdo.
Just my opinion - it works exceptionally well for Debian.

Please test grep-2.5.1-36
by Tim Waugh
Hello,
I made some changes to grep in the last few days, and would appreciate
feedback about their effectiveness. Please reply only to me, not to
the list.
The aim was to improve performance when processing UTF-8 input,
without causing any regressions (either in correctness or performance)
with any character encoding.
You can get grep-2.5.1-36 from the Fedora development tree:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/
or from my people.redhat.com site:
ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/grep/fedora-core-3/
I would like to know:
a) that you've tested the package at all
b) whether you noticed any performance difference, positive or
negative, compared to grep-2.5.1-31 (Fedora Core 3)
c) whether you found any cases where the output is different with the
new package than compared to grep-2.5.1-31 (Fedora Core 3)
Please reply only to me, not to the list.
Thanks,
Tim.

media check message
by Florin Andrei
When testing the installer CDs, if a disk fails, the software says:
"The image which was just tested has errors. This could be due to a
corrupt download or a bad disc. If applicable, please clean the disc and
try again."
This is true, yet incomplete. Sometimes it's the actual CD-ROM unit that
is at fault. The installer should mention that as well. Example:
"Or perhaps the CD-ROM unit needs cleaning or is deffective."
