For those of you who have heard nothing of my plans to write a RosFS service for ReactOS, here are some details about my plan. RosFS RosFS is a small service running on system initialization by default that indexes files, folders, users, devices, and network resources can hold metadata via MySQL, sleepycat DB, TCL, Apache, and Perl; which will all be embedded within the service itself. RosFS will hold encrypted resources based off of a key that is created with the first startup of ReactOS, it changes every 30 days to ensure security. The RosFS can be accessed online via the built in web server with can be an encrypted connection - SSL, or TLS. User ACLs can be set on a machine level or a domain level. RosFS will support a SQL-like querying language that can be written easily - it will have triggers, procedures, functions, and saved queries - which are all logged. Triggers will be supplied by a TCL-like language with features of Perl. An service will provide users with current system updates, patches, etc stored on a domain server - this option will only be installed on a powerful server with pretty good hardware - ie: not for home use!!! A few problems I know that will arise in developing such a project are: 1) Size 2) Security 3) Where to keep the files on the system 4) The RosFS query language will be trouble to write and maintain depending on if a user uses such Databases like ORACLE, MySQL, MSSQL, etc. 5) Explorer Integration - Will Explorer.exe need to be rewritten to allow the addition of Metadata structures, etc. 6) Web integration - Perl, PHP, TCL, CGI, ISAPI??? Please send me comments and concerns about the RosFS project.

What i've been working on

by Richard Campbell

In regards to the earlier change, this is why i made it ;) The broodwar installer works, along with d2, and the d2 expansion. Starcraft's installer fails with an odd error mentioning an invalid window handle.

RE: [ros-cvs] CVS Update: reactos

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, this patch (or some areas in ntoskrnl) isn't correct. This patch puts always 64kB between the TEB's. This limits the number of threads to 30,000 or less. I've found this by an other bug in kernel32. - Hartmut > -----Original Message----- > From: ros-cvs-bounces(a)reactos.com > [mailto:ros-cvs-bounces@reactos.com] On Behalf Of Ge van Geldorp > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 12:49 PM > To: ros-cvs(a)reactos.com > Subject: [ros-cvs] CVS Update: reactos > > > CVSROOT: /CVS/ReactOS > Module name: reactos > Repository: reactos/ntoskrnl/ps/ > Changes by: gvg(a)mok.osexperts.com 04/09/28 12:49:21 > > Modified files: > reactos/ntoskrnl/ex/: sysinfo.c > reactos/ntoskrnl/include/internal/: mm.h > reactos/ntoskrnl/mm/: anonmem.c marea.c > reactos/ntoskrnl/ps/: process.c > > Log message: > NtAllocateVirtualMemory() should return 64k aligned areas > > _______________________________________________ > Ros-cvs mailing list > Ros-cvs(a)reactos.com > http://reactos.com/mailman/listinfo/ros-cvs >

RE: [ros-cvs] CVS Update: reactos

by Casper Hornstrup

What are you kidding??? Please change this back as it makes ReactOS worse than before. Now your ReactOS installation will conflict with an existing Windows or ReactOS installation. This is IMHO way worse than not supporting two broken applications.

Some input please...

by Richard Campbell

I am currently planning on fixing our User Management code. Before i do i'd like some advice. First, We need to decide on some folder names for User Profiles. I'd recommend a "ReactOS Users" folder or equivalent. This doesn't interfere with Windows nor older versions of ReactOS. Second, I'm beginning to understand enough about MSGINA/WinLogon/and the log on process in general that i could probably implement a basic form of user authentication. However, this will mean that ROS will end up asking for a username/password every time it boots...shall i implement this now and maybe add an #if 0 to skip over it? Or shall we use some sort of auto login functionality. (like windows, but the implementation won't be the same, i'm unsure about how windows accomplishes it) Eric Khol has done a good job with alot of the security related stuff, but there is soooo much more to be added, and alot to be changed. (As previously mentioned here and discussed on IRC, Windows does NOT USE environment variables in the registry. The stuff is hardcoded, registry is set up the first time the user logs on.)

It is a result of the winehq merge, which breaks explorer.

FAT Patent Rejected

by vldpodun＠pop.videotron.ca

Hi everyone, Great news, it seems that Microsoft's patent on FAT has been rejected. This means that our LFN conversion is safe from any licensing issues, and any other patents we might've had the possiblity to infringe.

Re: [ros-cvs] Current CVS boot failure on real hardware

by Alex Ionescu

James, This is due to the Explorer breakage. GvG posted a patch to WineHQ which should fix it. Those quotes are the shutdown quotes (not BSODs).
