And in English: It might be relevant to also have figures without the compilation time, for Java and other languages where one can choose to do some or all of the compilation work separately.

Process.create_process() and rlimits
by Bill Welliver 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

This message includes a little background, so please read on... I've been beating my head against a wall for the past two days trying to figure out why a perl CGI wasn't running. It turns out that it was being killed automatically by the process creator (Process.create_process) in the CGI module. Despite giving it quite generous (basically unlimited) limits, it was still being stomped on. I commented out the following code (options is passed to Process.create_process): if(limits) options->rlimit=limits; And now everything is working as it should. I don't know what the problem might be, but it was a simple perl script (I pared it down to test), and the line that seemed to make the difference between working and not was: use Sybase::CTLib; First, I think something's funny with the limits support if this simple program was getting killed. Second, has anyone else had similar problems? The rlimit in question looks like this: "rlimit":([ /* 3 elements */ "core":0, "cpu":60, "nofile":64 ]) This program runs in about 1 second from the command line. Also, FWIW, this problem is present in Caudium 1.2 (pike 7.2) and 1.3 (7.4). Any thoughts? Bill

System.PAM module
by Bill Welliver 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

I put together a glue to the Pluggable Authentication Modules framework over the weekend. I've made it available to anyone who'd like to test it at the following address: ftp://ftp.riverweb.com/pub/hww3/pike_modules/System_PAM-1.0.tar.gz This requires a relatively recent version of Pike 7.5, ie .12 or .13 should be fine. The module is documented, though the autodoc extraction for C modules isn't currently working properly. Look at pam.cmod for the raw autodocs. If you're familiar with PAM, you shouldn't have any problems using this, and there are a few examples included. I'd also be interested to hear of any design improvement type suggestions that might be floating out there, as this is my first "real" C module. I've built this module on Solaris and Linux, and have tested it under Solaris. I've tested it with dmalloc, so it shouldn't have any built in memory leaks during normal operation, but I've noticed the Solaris PAM implimentation seems to leak regardless depending on your authentication configuration (eg LDAP).
