In my neverending quest for the School Server, I am looking for a 'unix socket superserver', something akin to xinetd listening on oldstyle unix sockets. Connecting to the right socket triggers the superserver to spawn a (potentially memory-heavy, privileged) process to handle the connection, with the superserver handling rate limiting, etc.
xinetd doesn't seem to know how to do this at all. ucspi-unix and its close cousin ucspi-ipc seem to cover the requirements but are not in Fedora. Are there alternatives that I am overlooking?
thanks!

Is the procedure the same as for F10 where the following can be used to create 4GB SD cards?: bash livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --xo --overlay-size-mb 320 --swap-size-mb 256 F11-i686-Live.iso /dev/$device
Also is there a newer livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script I should use, or is the one used to create the F10 SD cards sufficient?
Please get back to me so we can begin shipping F11 SD Cards tomorrow.
Thank you, Todd
Hi Todd,

I think it should be fine. There's also a version of the script here http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ but I'm not sure if its changed at all.

Just a heads-up (or maybe everyone already knows but me?)
Although I didn't mention it in the article (http://on-disk.com/cms/index.php?wiki=Review-Fedora_11_page1) because I haven't had a chance to test it, the live usb-creator also creates the olpc.fth file in a boot directory on the USB flash drive.
I'm hoping to get some time early this coming week to see if it creates a usable SD card for the OLPC using a USB SDHC card reader.
Thank you, Todd

It worked for me under Windows a month ago with an 8GB SD card, so I added it to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rawhide-XO
I also assume that the http://people.sugarlabs.org/sdz/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script and some combination of the instructions in http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/OLPC would work for F11 builds.
I think LiveUSB/livecd is a much better way to get a bootable flash drive than the `zcat 20090217.bootable.gz > /dev/sdX` that http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ still recommends , which * Leaves the following GBs of space on your card inaccessible. * Degrades the flash device (see wmb comment on Rawhide-XO page). * And if you get the device letter wrong, trashes your partition table and turns your Windows NTFS partition into an unbootable mess that TestDisk can read fine but any filesystem that pays attention to ACLs thinks is inaccessible by every user in the known universe, thus forcing you into Kubuntu full-time despite its quirks.
