PD6:<UNIX-C.KERNEL> Device drivers, system calls, and other items related to the UNIX kernel.

ACCESS-LISTS.TAR-Z Modifications to the 4.2BSD kernel to support access control lists. Contributor: Jeff Glass <jjg@security.uucp> CRASHME.TAR-Z Stress test UNIX kernel. Test robustness by invoking data as if it were a procedure. Version 1.8. Contributor: George J. Carrette <gjc@mitech.com> DEV-FD.TAR-Z A "/dev/fd" (reference a file descriptor as a file) driver for 4.3BSD. Contributor: Arnold D. Robbins <arnold@emory.uucp> DHU-11.TAR-Z A 4.2BSD driver for a DEC DHU-11. Contributor: Adrian Pell <adrian@cs.reading.uucp> DIALINOUT.TAR-Z Modifications to the 4.3BSD kernel tty driver to allow a modem port to be used for both dialin and dialout purposes. Contributor: Chris Torek <chris@mimsy.umd.edu> IPMULTICAST.TAR-Z The IP Multicast Extensionts from the VMTP project at Stanford Univ. Extensions to 4.3BSD and related systems (SunOS, Ultrix) to support IP Multicasting as specified in RFC 1054. Release 1.2. Contributor: Steve Deering <deering@pescadero.stanford.edu> PTY4.TAR-Z A generalized interface to pseudo-tty devices and the rest of the system. Nice!! Contributor: Dan Bernstein <brnstnd@nyu.edu> LOADABLEDD.TAR-Z A system to allow loadable device drivers on the Sun workstation. Allows the development and debugging of device drivers without the constant relink-the-kernel reboot-the-system hassles. Should be portable to any 4.xBSD environment. Contributor: Lee Hasiuk <hasiuk@spp2.uucp> NLIST1.TAR-Z A program which reads kernel variables and displays them. It can be used to monitor variables, display arrays of data structures, or linked lists. Also a full report generator, with a built-in calculator. It's configurable as to how to read variables, etc. Comes with configuration files for SunOS, 4.3BSD, System V, and Mach. Contributor: Chris Bertin <chris@cetia.uucp> NLIST2.TAR-Z A command-level interface to nlist(3). Can also dump kernel memory, if you have permission. Should work on any UNIX system with nlist. Contributor: Warren Tucker <wht@n4hgf.uucp> PTYS-UNIXPC.TAR-Z A "pty" driver for the AT&T UNIX-PC. Contributor: Eric Herrin <eric@e.ms.uky.edu> SCO-PTYS.TAR-Z An implementation of Berkeley pseudo ttys for Xenix/386 2.3. Also works on Xenix/286. Contributor: Chip Salzenberg <chip@ateng.ateng.com> S5NAP.TAR-Z An implementation of nap() (fraction of a second sleep) for System V. Contributor: Jon Zeeff <zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us> SUBNET-ARP.TAR-Z The mods necessary to 4.3BSD to add a subnet ARP hack. They allow a subnet gateway machine to act as a bridge so that only it need know of the existence of subnets. This is quite useful if many machines on the local network do not have RFC 950 subnet code. Contributor: John Quarterman <jsq@sally.utexas.edu> SYSCALL-TRACE.TAR-Z A system call trace facility for 4.2BSD UNIX. Contributor: Joseph Simonetti <joes@sbcs.uucp> UTMP.TAR-Z Utility to repair broken /etc/utmp files. Works on SYS V, BSD, AIX3, and AIX2. Contributor: David W. Sanderson <dws@cs.wisc.edu> ZONK.C A kill-by-userid system call. Contributor: Ken Lalonde <kwlalonde@watmath.uucp>
