-Just like in other Unix systems one can, for example, use `fdisk` or `parted`
-to manage hard disks' partition tables.  After doing changes to a disk's
-partition table, the kernel has to be instructed to reinitialize its internal
-data structures: where does a partition begin, where does it end, etc.
-
-With `fdisk` and friends this is done on Linux with the `BLKRRPART` IOCTL,
-which is used to tell the kernel to reread the disk's partition table.
-
-`parted` also uses this interface on Linux, but for GNU Hurd, the corresponding
-function, `libparted/arch/gnu.c (gnu_disk_commit)`, doesn't do anything at all.
-The infrastructure in [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] is already there,
-`linux/src/drivers/block/ide.c (ide_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>` and
-`linux/src/drivers/scsi/sd_ioctl.c (sd_ioctl) <BLKRRPART>`, but the IOCTL needs
-to be routed from `libparted` through [[hurd/glibc]]'s Hurd IOCTL interface,
-through Hurd's [[hurd/libstore]], to [[GNU_Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].

+    /dev/hd0s1: Deleted inode 95849 has zero dtime.  FIXED.
+
+This is actually sorta benign.  What typically happens is that one upgrades e.g.
+a library, and there are still some processes using it (e.g. because it's libc).
+The library file is thus kept on the filesystem, so as to be able to load parts
+of it on demand.  The file is thus marked as deleted, but the deletion hasn't
+been effective yet, thus dtime being zero. e2fsck notices this and finishes
+deleting the file.  To really fix this, we would probably have to really unmount
+the filesystem.

+The X server does not terminate when the user X session is finished. This is due
+to xinit not being able to kill the setuid Xorg.
+
+On the sending side, glibc does:
+
+        err = HURD_MSGPORT_RPC (__proc_getmsgport (proc, pid, &msgport),
+                                  (taskerr = __proc_pid2task (proc, pid,
+                                                              &refport)) ?
+                                  __proc_getsidport (proc, &refport) : 0, 1,
+                                  kill_port (msgport, refport));
+        }
+
+I.e. asks proc for the task port, and if that fails, asks proc for the
+session port, then it sends the signal.
+
+It happens that since the target got setuid'ed, the proc server had set it
+owned by root, and hence (rightfully) refuses to return the task port through
+pid2task.  As a result only proc_getsidport() works, but that will be accepted
+by the receiving side only for some signals.
+
+POSIX says
+
+«
+  For a process to have permission to send a signal to a process designated
+  by pid, unless the sending process has appropriate privileges, the real or
+  effective user ID of the sending process shall match the real or saved
+  set-user-ID of the receiving process.
+»
+
+And indeed Xorg keeps the original user uid as real uid, so that xinit can kill
+it when the session is finished.
+
+We probably need to implement another reference port that the killer can send to
+the killee. It may be useful for some other operations that users can do on the
+setuid processes they have started.

-    <_d3f> Hey guys, how did you get openvpn working on the Hurd? just curious
-      as I saw it in the GHM video
-    <_d3f> no one here who has a clue how to get *vpn working on the Hurd?
-    <braunr> _d3f: youpi did it
-    <braunr> i don't know the details
-    <_d3f> okay, I will question him when I see him around, thx. Do you know if
-      it was a lot of work to get the tun device working? Because I would like
-      to use tinc on the Hurd.
-    <braunr> _d3f: a bit but not that much either
-    <_d3f> braunr: well, okay. Do you know if the source of his 'port' is
-      online, I haven't found it :/

-    <_d3f> youpi: you are the guy who has brought openvpn to the hurd, right? I
-      would like to know how you got the tun/tap thing working as I would like
-      to use tinc on it. :)
-    <youpi> _d3f: essentially no modification of openvpn iirc
-    <youpi> just tell it to open the tun node created by pfinet
-    <youpi> and read/write it
-    <youpi> i.e. the existing generic code in place in openvpn
-    <_d3f> I will have a look at it, somekind tinc builds with the linux
-      specific device.c but I wasn't able to exchange keys. I will have a look
-      at the device handling again and try to get the pfinet tun node used.
-
+OpenVPN can use pfinet's tun as it is, and be configured completely as joe user,
+as shown below. Note that the tun0 node name has to begin with "tun", so pfinet
+knows it's a tun.
+
+    $ mkdir -p $HOME/servers/socket
+    $ touch $HOME/servers/tun0
+    $ settrans -ca $HOME/servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet $HOME/servers/tun0 -a 10.0.0.1 -p 10.0.0.2
+    $ cat vpn.conf
+    client
+    dev tun
+    dev-node /home/samy/servers/tun0
+    ...
+    $ openvpn --config vpn.conf --verb 5
+    ...
+
+So we let openvpn running, and now we can make applications use the pfinet
+TCP/IP stack started above: the remap command below starts a new shell, where
+it redirects /servers/socket/2 (where the system TCP/IP stack resides) onto
+$HOME/servers/socket/2 (where the new TCP/IP stack resides).
+
+    $ remap /servers/socket/2 $HOME/servers/socket/2
+    $ wget www.gnu.org
+
+Ideally openvpn would be made to setup pfinet itself, but at least for now it
+can be configured by hand like that.
+
+It would probably be possible to make pfinet able to produce a tap too, would
+need some code.
