I know about passwd(1) and crypt(3). What I'm looking for is a C API to call which will set the user's password in the passwd/shadow files, without having to programatically walk the files and overwrite the entry for the user in question. Application runs as root. Does such an API exist? EDIT: Guess I should specify, the password is...
I am setting up two nameservers in constr and then using res_search to find the IP address of a URI. Is there an easy way to find out which of the two nameservers did the resolution? I know that I can set up a trace in res_search and capture stdout but in my situation that will not be possible. Is the address of the nameserver somewh...
As part of an experiment, I want to write a OpenGL-based UI server for applications, similar to X11 or Quartz in architecture: a core process renders objects into a single viewport, but all graphical objects are being controlled by remote processes. The idea is that the views stability is only dependent on the core process. If a client ...
Hi, I'm not sure I understand it properly: does a 64 bit OS run/compile code faster than a 32 bit OS on the same system? We're using 64 bit OSs where I am and it seems to only cause compatibility issues with legacy and proprietary software. (We're running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty amd64) ...
I have a Linux application that opens a UDP socket and binds it to a port. I haven't had any problem sending unicast packets through the socket. I had occasion to send a broadcast packet, so I enabled SO_BROADCAST, which allowed the broadcast packets to pass, but then I noticed that the unicast packets were being broadcast as well. Is...

I'm writing a program in C on Linux which includes a module that allows a shell command to be executed on a remote machine. The easiest way to actually execute the command would of course be to simply use the system() function, or use popen and then grab the output. However, I chose to use a more low-level approach due to other design...

I'm trying to track down the cause of performance bottlenecks in an application I'm debugging under Linux. The various processes involved seem to spend a lot of their time blocking on I/O requests, and I was wondering if anybody knew any Linux tricks that let you see why a particular process is blocked/what resource it's waiting for? Is ...
Whenever I open a socket channel. If the client accepts then 1 file descriptor is created internally so I can create a maximum of 1024 clients in Linux. But I want to create more clients without increasing file descriptor limit in Linux (ulimit -n 20000) So how can I create more sockets in Java? ...
Hello, What's the best and easiest way to build a c++ application, which was written with Visual Studio, for Linux? The code itself is ready - I used only cross-plattform libs. Is it possible to prepare everything under Windows in Visual Studio and then build it with a cli tool under Linux? Are there any docs describing this? Thanks,...

I am new to the topic of cryptography and am studying PKI and PKCS etc. I understand the basic concept of PKI and how it is used for encryption/decryption. I am confused however about how a hardware token like a USB token or a smartcard is used for secure login to your computer. Here are steps as I understand them and the part I am confu...
My interactive 32-bit Windows app (now moving from Delphi [Ent] 2007 to 2009) uses command-line interactions to spawn child processes that do computationally-intensive tasks, which in turn write text files that the GUI parent app parses and analyzes - resulting in an interactive graphical display of the results. I have access to a multi...
