Job offer: Linux tool to create a valid Windows Registry hive file

by Martin v. Wittich

Hi, we are a software development company that develops and maintains a Linux-based server solution called IServ, designed for use in schools. We are in business since 2003, and there are currently about 370 schools in Germany using IServ as their portal server. One feature that we would like to integrate into our product is the possibility to customize the ntconfig.pol file. This file, located on the server's netlogon share, can deploy registry settings to Windows clients - it is especially important because it can deploy HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE settings. This file is a binary registry hive. At the moment, we have to create this file manually with poledit.exe. We need a Linux program which can automatically generate this file. 1) It should read plain text files as input, for example an INF file. 2) The resulting policy file must work with Windows 2000 and XP x86 clients. It should be possible to easily test this by using the command "Load Hive" in Regedit. 3) The preferred programming language is Perl, C/C++ is also OK. Other languages should also be possible, but only after prior consultation (just to make sure nobody comes up with Java ;) ). 4) The resulting source code should be released as open source, e.g. under the GPL. We would like the program being finished in one month. We will pay you EUR 300 for it. If the program is very much work and you feel you need more money, submit us an offer. A Perl library to dump binary registry files to plain text: http://search.cpan.org/~jmacfarla/Parse-Win32Registry-0.30/ Attachments: ntconfig.pol - Our current policy. This must be generated automatically. ntconfig.pol.dump - Plain text dump of that file, generated with Parse::Win32Registry. winnt.adm - Template to edit our policy file with poledit.exe. Our homepage: http://iserv.eu (only in German, though) -- Yours sincerely, Martin v.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [dgorbachev] 38170: Add a hack which allows to boot with Armenian language.

by Aleksey Bragin

Dmitry - I think we don't have THAT many Armenian users (if any?) so that we have to apply such ugly hacks.

Have anyone tried, stress prime on ReactOS?

by Ashuaria Lee

Hi, Guys(and Girls) did you heard about a program called "stress prime"? It was developed to calculate prime numbers. And it is very sensitive to small errors. Since it has some kinda detecting errors, many overclockers are using it to confirm overclocked H/W stability. Yes, I tried to run this program, just for fun, and surprise! The system is not overclocked, nor has problem when running stressprime on WindowsXP. The rounding error amount was huge. I saw the source code of the stress prime and I'm sorry it was assembly language, so I couldn't check what could make such prolem under ReactOS. It was all about the math, and I'm not good at both(asm,math) But, one thing sure, is something is not working properly(maybe kernel?) and it is affecting ReactOS stability. What is your opinion? any comments? -- Regards, Ashuaria Lee

[ros-diffs] [dgorbachev] 38083: - Use HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY instead of memset(). - Do not crash if no adapter found.

by Dmitry Gorbachev

Hi, Alex Ionescu wrote: > You should always use memset and void HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY. Could you please tell why HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY should not be used? It is used in many places, so if something wrong with RtlAllocateHeap, maybe better to fix it? Thanks, Dmitry

You should always use memset and void HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY.

May I know from where comes NLS_FILE_HEADER structure definition in include/ndk/rtltypes.h ? I think it is not correct.

hi,guys: I don't know if it is proper to ask such a question here. I'm sorry if I break some rules. why IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY_EX fail in windows 2000 and succeed in windows xp and greater version? or how can I get a disk(whatever,ATA,SCSI,USB )'s real size(including additional sectors) in a easy way in windows 2000, just like there is such a function, __int 64GetDiskRealSize(HANDLE hDisk); Could anybody help me? Waiting for reply. Thank you!
