CDROMs and Win95
by dave 09 Mar '97

09 Mar '97

Hi all. I'm using hfs.o to mount a few Mac CDROMs, and sharing them with mars_nwe, the netware emulator, for Win95 machines. I haven't gotten much of a responce from the mars people, so hoped I could ask here. My problem is that mars responds that it can't read properly the .* files. For example: NWCONN 1:Cannot map inode=1073741826, dev=2816, namespace=4 to vol=2 handle NWCONN 1:nw_search_file_dir:Cannot add entry '.rootinfo' NWCONN 1:Cannot map inode=-1073741822, dev=2816, namespace=4 to vol=2 handle NWCONN 1:nw_search_file_dir:Cannot add entry '.finderinfo' This is a CDROM that was pressed that contains some client info, not a commercial CDROM. Maybe I will get lucky, and someone else is also having this trouble. Is there a way to either hide or otherwise these files in the first place? Maybe I am configuring mars incorrectly? Thanks for any ideas, Dave Wreski

Mac CD's and Win95
by dave 06 Mar '97

06 Mar '97

Hi all. As you may or may not know from my last post, I am using the Netware emulator to share a multi-disc cdrom to a group of Win95 machines. My problem now is that I can see the first directory entry of the cdrom, but none others from the win95 clients. Might there be any reason for this? Is there some peculiarities with long filenames maybe? Is there something else I can check? I have tried several CDROM's, most/all with the same results. Could it not even be related to the hfs module? I can see normal iso9660 cdrom's just fine... Do I have any other options? Thanks again, Dave Wreski

Unknown CDROM format
by dave 05 Mar '97

05 Mar '97

Hi all. I have a Mac CD that I'm trying to read, so I successfully inserted the hfs.o module into my 2.0.26 kernel. Despite my being able to read the CDROM (PageMaker), its still says unknown cdrom format. Also, I'm using mars_nwe, the netware emulator, and I cannot see this disc from a Win95 machine. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks, Dave Wreski

hfsutils 2.0 released!
by Rob Leslie 08 Feb '97

08 Feb '97

Here it is, the first non-beta release of hfsutils, version 2.0. This version adds one new feature, but is otherwise mostly the same as 1.19b. It is now possible to install the utilities setgid or setuid without introducing serious security problems. The utilities only engage their setuid privileges when opening device files, so this can be used, for example, to limit access to and/or help protect the structural integrity of HFS volumes. Don't worry -- the utilities do not normally need suid privileges, and they are not even installed that way by default. But since some people find it convenient to make use of setgid/setuid, I've merely made it safe to do so. Unfortunately I'm not certain my implementation will be portable to all platforms, so I've isolated the code to a single file, `suid.c'. Many thanks to everyone for their feedback on this software. I am pleased that it has become so useful to so many people. The distribution file can be found at: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/hfs/hfsutils-2.0.tar.gz For more information, see: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ Cheers, -- Robert Leslie rob(a)mars.org

What am I missing and how do I set it up correctly? You should be able to run applications remotly with no problems. It seems that whom ever but your CDROMs togther never expected them to by run anyway but locally. Its more of a problem with the CDs that with your setup. -- Jude Giampaolo -- Penn State University -- Electrical Engineering jcg161(a)psu.edu 'I feel better having screamed, don't you?' jude(a)smellycat.com http://prozac.cwru.edu/jude/JudeHome.html Mac NFS server: http://prozac.cwru.edu/jude/macnfs/Macnfsd.html

Running applications from an HFS/Linux Mount
by Mark Slovick 21 Jan '97

21 Jan '97

Hello, I'm having a problem getting a linux server correctly configured for the grade school my kids attend. I'm hoping that someone in this group has the answer. The network uses a Linux server with netatalk and HFS-0.7.8 installed. I am able to mount an HFS cdrom on the Linux server from a Performa 6112 (system 7.5.1) connected via Ethertalk. The files icons show up correctly when the drive is opened on the Mac desktop - this works fine. Here is the problem: If I try to run an application from the mounted cdrom drive, some applications work partially - and some don't work at all. The Mac error messages say basically that it can't find the cdrom at the "internal" location. Like it forgot that it launched the application from the ethertalk shared disk. I'm not experienced with appletalk but assumed that it would be normal to run applications that reside on remote disks. Is this assumption wrong? What am I missing and how do I set it up correctly? Thanks for any help you can send my way.

hfsutils-1.19b released
by Rob Leslie 15 Jan '97

15 Jan '97

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have made yet another release of hfsutils, version 1.19b. This package is a year in the making, and is apparently becoming quite popular. It has proven to be a rather stable set of tools, and to that end I plan to re-release version 1.19b as version 2.0 in the next few weeks if I hear that all is well with this version. Note this means I will no longer consider this beta software. Significant changes from 1.18b to 1.19b include: * A problem which prevented large volumes from being properly formatted by hfs_format() has been fixed. This should also allow the library to correctly manipulate large volumes in certain other cases. * The code has been adapted to work with Tcl 7.6 and Tk 4.2. * The `hls' and `hdir' programs have been re-written, and now support most of the usual UNIX `ls' options. * The general documentation has been updated. You can find the current release here: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/hfs/ The official hfsutils home page on the web is here: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ Feedback is always appreciated. I have tried to include a few more portability enhancements in this release as well, based on observations people have sent me.

I am not sure if this is the right mailing list to send the following question. Sorry for the inconvenience. Can someone throw light on the format of Desktop DataBase on Apple Macintosh machines? Pointers to where I can get this information are also welcome. Thanks, - K Rama Krishna (krk(a)wipinfo.soft.net)
