Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: Progress! .532 boots! -- but dbus/hotplug/udev problems remain?: msg#00208

Subject: Re: Progress! .532 boots! -- but dbus/hotplug/udev problems remain?
btw i didn't see an acknowledgement from the person who sent the
last udev patch (dan was it you?)

the use of the "mode" argument it is clear has not been used,
to call i think it was matchpathcon.

instead, because i had three near-identical code portions all
of which had different S_IFXXX thingies, dan-i-think-it-was
moved the near-identical code into a function with a "mode"
argument...

... and forgot to use the "mode" argument such that matchpathcon
is called with S_IFDIR.

given that i haven't seen an acknowledgement of this issue
either in my inbox or on the mailing lists (which i am checking
manually) i thought it best to hassle people until i know it's
been spotted.

this is IMPORTANT because it will impact the contexts on
inodes and stuff created in /dev: the "optimising" argument
"mode" passed to matchpathcon and setfscreatecon, if wrong,
results in relevant (and correct!) file_context entries being
skipped!
