<ZhaoM>hi i'm reading the hurd source code
<ZhaoM>is this an issue? https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/tree/auth/auth.c#n502 
<ZhaoM>we have two 'idvec_add (&firstauth->auids, 0);'
<youpi>that's expected
<sneek>Welcome back youpi, you have 1 message!
<sneek>youpi, Pellescours says: I see that the variable HOST_NAME_MAX is not defined in hurd, is it intended?
<azeem>18:29 < azeem> Pellescours: see https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/01/msg00425.html 
<youpi>Pellescours: usual *_MAX stuff
<azeem>18:30 < Pellescours> thank you
<youpi>ZhaoM: see e.g. __setresuid in glibc
<youpi>or rather __getresuid which is clearer
<youpi>auid[0] is the sid
<youpi>others are extensions
<youpi>ah, sorry, not exactly
<youpi>but that's the idea
<youpi>[0] is something and [1] is something else
<ZhaoM>got it, thanks
<ZhaoM>BTW I saw glibc has got stuck at 'Building' for a few days, haven't got chance to test the patch about dup().
<ZhaoM> https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=glibc&suite=sid 
<youpi>I didn't bother letting it finish, it'll fail in the linknamespace test anyway
<ZhaoM>ok
<youpi>(and we already have in 2.41-5~0 what is useful to us)
<ZhaoM>something useful in 2.41-5~0, what is that?
<youpi>see the changelog
<ZhaoM> http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.41-6_changelog 
<ZhaoM>I still didn't get it
<youpi>look at the changelog of your installed package
<youpi>in /usr/share/doc/libc0.3/changelog.Debian.gz
<ZhaoM>ah got it
<ZhaoM>go to bed. Good night guys
<mandrillone>to the people having fun of m$ DCOM and VisualBasic 6.0, remember that nowadays the way to do the same is to serialize a JSON and POST it via HTTP then registering a callback to get the JSON response. How is this any better?
<Pellescours>damo22: I’m trying to play with rumpnet, and I’m only able to get (ipc/rcv) timed out
