IPC between daemon -> non root app?
by Philip Lukidis 15 Nov '05

15 Nov '05

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello, I'm having problems establishing IPC communication between my test daemon and a non root app (which for now is a plugin). The means of communication is CFMessagePort. My app has no problem sending data to the daemon, but my daemon cannot open a remote port which the application created. When I run the daemon under my username (and is thus not run under root), the daemon can open the remote port which my app created with no problems, and send notifications. Does anyone have any idea what is behind this? Is it a matter of permissions? How could this be overcome? thanks for any ideas, Philip Lukidis _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Mac OS X 10.2.8 SDK, XCode 2.2 and in6_var.h

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Bug report filed (Problem ID: 4313108). _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… With XCode 2.2, I am still experiencing the "oops, we did again!" problem with the /usr/include/ missing headers. Namely, the in6_var.h file in /usr/include/netinet6/ referenced from /usr/include/netinet_in_var.h is still missing in the Mac OS X 10.2.8.sdk. Since it took 6 months to fix this problem the last time (it was with some ProjectBuilder release IIRC and people at Apple were not affected because an internal package did fix this issue), is it safe to copy the in6_var.h header from a SDK where it is present?

Mach message format/structure
by Rob Ballantyne 15 Nov '05

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com User-agent: Mutt/1.5.6i Hi, I'm trying to use the mach_msg interface to pass around messages between two userland tasks. I'm having trouble with the calls to mach_msg complaining about an 'invalid msg-header' when I try to associate a local_port (and port_right?) with the message so that the server can respond. If I set local_port to MACH_PORT_NULL I can send to the server, setting it to anything other than that gives me the invalid msg-header error. Is it possible with out setting the MACH_MSGH_BITS_COMPLEX to enable a server response or does the entire message transaction have to be of the 'complex' type to send a send-right to the server process? Is there documentation on the mach_msgh_bits field of the header? I've got the mach_msg_header.html document in xnu-*/osfmk/man and it describes the bits but doesn't talk about appropriate use of them. Is there anything that talks about correct use of the bit fields? Finally, does anyone have a good example of a non-MIG server that demonstrates much of what I've mentioned above?

Notification of IOService open
by Braden Thomas 15 Nov '05

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello all, Thanks for any/all input, Braden _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… I have an IOService that needs to know when another IOService calls open on a third IOService. To give the specific example, at boot time the IOBSDConsole calls open on any IOHIKeyboard. Later, the IOHIDSystem "seizes" ownership of the IOHIKeyboard from the IOBSDConsole by calling open on the IOHIKeyboard with the kIOServiceSeize bit set. I want to know if it is possible to be notified when that seizure occurs. I tried adding a notification for the IOHIDSystem (gIOMatchedNotification, to be specific) whose handler then adds another notification for the IOHIKeyboard, but even after receiving this notification the client is still the console and not the hid system. I was thinking maybe my IOService could call open on the IOHIKeyboard with the kIOServiceSeize bit set to claim ownership from the console. But then I still would have no way of knowing (AFAIK) of telling when the IOHIDSystem seized ownership from my service -- unless someone on this list can tell me how that's done....

This thread is closed. Please, everyone, refrain from any further replies to this thread. As one of the primary developers of darwinbuild, don't plan on getting response from me either. Why would I expect anything from you, it's not my software that's screwed up, it's yours, if you fix it great, if not, no problem, I'll still build the Darwin/Mac OSX software regardless. I asked politely how and where any why to report issues. This is not a Darwin Development issue, it's a problem with DarwinBuild (an OpenDarwin project). Don't expect every piece of software that happens to build on Darwin/Mac OS X to use this mailing list as a bug reporting venue. The issue is in part part of the perl project so yes I believe this is the relevant venue for mentioning/discussing the problem. The problem that seems to most public is the attitude that those involved are too high and mighty to get off their high horse to see what the problem is or even ask an intelligent question. Participation is a two way street, I'm not about to waste my time and resources waiting to assist someone in isolating the problem. I've seen the flaming that occurs around here and for the most part I keep to myself because getting along isn't a theme around here and I have no interest in befriending anyone here or doing their work for them. Since you don't seem to critical about the problem, I'll just keep it to myself and as you progress the darwinbuild project you can continue to carry on the problem until it become catastrophic and hopefully it happens to you before it happens to some unsuspecting soul because at least you were made aware of an issue but chose to do nothing about it. I've looked a little further into it and can say with certainty that darwinbuild is not totally at fault with this project, good luck in fixing it. OK so when they ask me questions about the problem I'll have answers so why are you opening your pie-hole??? Bye Dale. You are the first person (well except for Xah) I have setup to go direct /dev/null. Good, then I don't have to worry about moronic responses coming from you now. -- Dale _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
