THM 2005-05-19 Summary (Plan 9 wiki)

Notes taken by kuroneko

Status reports:

20H

Multiauthdom:

It "takes the keys of the users on the other nodes and uses them for the tickets."
All done except for factotum
waiting on ddr.9grid.de to come back online
Authsrv + backend are working.
Code available in ddr.9grid.de
Still Private Key based
rsc9 suggests that this should be replaced to use public keys

Modularised Installer.

dtLinux v2.6 with v9fs.

BRUCEE

(via boyd) OzInferno is done but release on hold until docs are writen, "doesn't need much doc 'cause the vita stuff will largely do".

Will IRC first week of june when in paris.

ERICVH

(See ericvh for details)

9grid.us:

slowly coming to life.
main function to be a drawterm host
for checking out 9 vs real grid apps
should be available after the weekend

v9fs:

up to release canidate 5
complaints from pre-LKML community diminishing
likely to go to LKML on Monday

Summer projects:

reliability stuff
linux kernel server support (more than u9fs)
"want to be able to attach gateway devices, etc. directly to it."

Interested in:

authsrv for Linux
plan9ports being split up more linux-like
"split up the (p9p) components a bit so I can have people just grab the libraries and build environment to build synthetic file servers under Linux"

KURONEKO

(See kuroneko for details)

Sparc32:

up to MMU mapping
xalloc needs fixing
needs multiple arbitary zone allocation

Fs64:

need to retest

Fs:

jukebox behaviour workarounds
/n/sources/contrib/ccollins/fs
document build procedures

GDIAZ

9grid.org.es stalled due to workload.

Will talk to 20h about cross-domain auth.

MAJOR-WILLARD (BOYD)

Bad hand slowing work.

Compilers fix for to handle large macro expansions:

"99.9% done. the 0.1% is subtle"
cmd/8c and cmd/cc are on contrib/boyd

NASHI

Running tip9ug servers, "everyone behaves good on mordor."

Talking about multi authdom in tip9ug.

vt3 adds: "working on japanese fonts, finding security issues with venti, just being modest"

OKSEL

Interested in USB work, modified usbd to automatically load usbmouse when a mouse gets plugged in.

QUINTILE

Cifs, adding ntlmv2 auth, message signing, dfs support.

Seperating libasn1 from libsec, leading up to ldapfs, snmpfs and krb in factotum.

Chatfs as a /net service providing msim, yahoo, jabber, etc.

All incomplete - published when ready.

RMILLER

Working on usb storage improvements soon.

usb itself needs work as its too slow to be really usable for storage
many devices don't boey the spec either
poor performance attributed to "only being able to send one packet per usb frame"
forsyth may be looking at usb as well
usb booting should work if supported by bios(not sure about 9load)

RMINNICH

Port to Xen3.0

goes really slowly

Working with vic zandy'x xcpu:

"xcpu is really really nice"
server for remote execution
not released yet
for lightweight cluster nodes.
similar to linux bproc stuff

Strongarm

enet driver has issue

Try to work with k8 once jmk releases initial kernel code.

RSC9

Wkj has almost working sshv2.

Working on venti rewrite:

almost in a releaseable state
jmk + rsc9 will be deploying a new venti to test it
considerably faster than old venti
p9p release first, then plan9 native
available in the CVS as p9p

TMCM

Pointed out buffer overflow vulnerability report: http://schtarb.free.fr/plan9.txt rsc9 said he would look into it if he had some time, but asked for volunteers to do it.

URIEL

(See uriel for details)

Hacking on wiki and docs.
