Hello all, While digging in the "soundon" script delivered with the OSS package (the commercial one, of course), I have discovered something very unusual on line 26 $MODTOOLS/insmod -V > /tmp/oss.tmp 2>&1 # KABOOM! "Hey, Beavis, told ya it was plutonium" MODVERS=`head -1 /tmp/oss.tmp|sed 's/.* //'` rm -f /tmp/oss.tmp # too late, buddy! Nice,huh? Just imagine that almost all soundcards are PnP today, there are few admins that know how to play with isapnp and ALSA (yeah, it rulez), the soundcfg or soundconf (whatever) script that comes with RedHat 5.x sucks big time and most of the ppl running LeeNw00x use OSS that seems to be a very good tool for the average RewT, honestly. And thank God OSS knows lots of soundcards! Most of you are running the soundon script in rc.local, so the satisfaction is guaranteed: ln -s /etc/inittab (next boot you're dead) Don't worry, supportat_private has been already notified so they will correct the bug ASAP I guess. BTW there is no bugsat_private, so I love their optimistic way of thinking. I think the correct code is : ## insert before line 26 if [ -L /tmp/oss.tmp ] then logger "Hey,man, you've got a naughty (l)user -- ".`ls -lsa /tmp/oss.tmp` # die, lam0r! :) rm /tmp/oss.tmp fi Take care :) -- Stefan Laudat System Engineer - Dragon Art "Power comes from the barrel of the gun" -- Mao Tze Dong
