As a practical means of achieving better security and single sign-on, the Kerberos network authentication system has been in wide use in the Unix world for many years. Microsoft has included its own implementation in Windows 2000, replacing the NTLM authentication system from older Windows NT versions. This facilitates sharing account information between Unix and Windows machines, as there is no need to keep different passwords. Although Microsoft’s Kerberos implementation mostly follows the specification, there are a number of deviations and extensions, not all of which are well documented. Consequently, it is not always obvious how to fit Windows 2000 clients and servers into an existing Kerberos environment. In this paper we discuss the differences between the two systems and describe how we got our Kerberos implementation, Heimdal, to work with Windows 2000.

The ext2 filesystem was designed with the goal of expandability while maintaining compatibility. This paper describes ways in which advanced filesystem features can be added to the ext2 filesystem while retaining forwards and backwards compatibility as much as possible. Some of the filesystem extensions that are discussed include directory indexing, online resizing, an expanded inode, extended ...

The AGFL Grammar Work Lab is the first parser generator for natural languages to be brought under the GNU public license. Apart from its linguistic uses, it is intended for the production of parsers which are to be embedded in application systems. In particular, the AGFL system comes with a free grammar and lexicon of English, allowing the construction of user interfaces and applications involv...

We introduce a simple sequential write benchmark and use it to improve Linux NFS client write performance. We reduce the latency of the write() system call, improve SMP write performance, and reduce kernel CPU processing during sequential writes. Cached write throughput to NFS files improves by more than a factor of three.

The 2000 Usenix Technical Conference included a presentation outlining the state of the X rendering environment and the capabilities necessary to bring X into the modern world. During the past year, a new extension has been designed and implemented as part of the standard XFree86 distribution. The X Rendering Extension addresses many of the shortcomings inherent in the core X rendering architec...
