oiaohmSaying person had old drivers.  Would force them to admit they failed to check.Feb 14 00:00
oiaohmI had to replace the motherboard in the SBS server because there was no new drivers.Feb 14 00:00
yuhongoiaohm: MS always blames malware? Really?Feb 14 00:00
oiaohmFor this kind of thing yes.  yuhongFeb 14 00:01
cubezzzagain, yet another reason not to use dozeFeb 14 00:01
yuhongAnd it is hard to believe that Windows would always disable drivers over 12 months old.Feb 14 00:02
oiaohmEven when I ring them.  I think by now they would have put on my file don't lie to him.  I  always have full audit reports out of dead machines listing what has changed.Feb 14 00:02
oiaohmThey don't disable them.  yuhongFeb 14 00:02
yuhongAnd it is hard to believe that Windows would magically disable drivers over 12 months old that worked before?Feb 14 00:02
yuhongAnd it is hard to believe that Windows would magically disable drivers over 12 months old that worked before.Feb 14 00:02
oiaohmIn the last 18 months they altered sections of the driver ABI. yuhongFeb 14 00:02
cubezzzwouldn't it be nice to have open source drivers? :)Feb 14 00:03
cubezzzthen we could avoid these stupid problemsFeb 14 00:03
oiaohmResults are that simply lots of drivers are no longer compadible.  yuhongFeb 14 00:03
yuhongoiaohm: What were the alterations?Feb 14 00:03
oiaohmTo fix secuirty holes in the Windows OS.  yuhongFeb 14 00:03
yuhongoiaohm: Technical details?Feb 14 00:03
oiaohmLike how the tcp/ip stack works.Feb 14 00:03
yuhong Technical details?Feb 14 00:03
yuhong Technical details please?Feb 14 00:04
oiaohmIn the ndis drivers about 8 functions drivers use to use no longer exist.  yuhongFeb 14 00:04
oiaohmDue to no secure way to code them.Feb 14 00:04
yuhongNames?Feb 14 00:04
oiaohmThey are NT4 functions.Feb 14 00:05
oiaohmThere has been replacements since windows 2000Feb 14 00:05
oiaohmYet driver makers kept on using them yuhongFeb 14 00:05
yuhongI know.Feb 14 00:05
oiaohmBasically they were replaced marked depeacted.Feb 14 00:06
oiaohmAnd MS just removed them.Feb 14 00:06
yuhongI get it now.Feb 14 00:06
yuhongBut it is quite different from what happened in this case.Feb 14 00:06
oiaohmThe infected drivers.Feb 14 00:06
oiaohmWere also using nt4 functions.Feb 14 00:07
yuhongNope.Feb 14 00:07

-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[popey] Back from curry & chat with some of the @uupc people.Great evening,but @Daviey was missed.There'll be a new season.. sooner than you think.Feb 14 00:07
oiaohmGet a NT4 sdk yuhong.  Read it.Feb 14 00:08
yuhongOK.Feb 14 00:09
oiaohmDriver developers were told they were allowed to use that.Feb 14 00:09
yuhongYep.Feb 14 00:09
yuhongSome vendors indeed eventually remove deprecated functions.Feb 14 00:09
oiaohmSo you tell someone else they are allowed to use it then you use it yourself what else do you expect to happen.Feb 14 00:09
oiaohmThat is not the only change by the way yuhongFeb 14 00:10
oiaohmthere were changes for motherboard dependant memory controllers interface as well.Feb 14 00:10
yuhongNope, I mean this is probably a different case from what you are talking about.Feb 14 00:11
oiaohmThey all generated the same looking system.Feb 14 00:11
oiaohmUnless you looked closely.Feb 14 00:11
oiaohmIe one would blue screen from video.Feb 14 00:11
yuhongNope, I mean this is probably a different case from what I am talking about.Feb 14 00:11
oiaohmI have cleaned up about 12 different dead XP's.Feb 14 00:11
oiaohmThey all died in slight different locations. Due to different drivers.Feb 14 00:12

yuhongNow, was KTHREAD::Spare0[0]  ever has be documented for use in drivers?Feb 14 00:13
cubezzzI always felt that when wink2k came out a ton of win9x stuff stopped workingFeb 14 00:13
yuhongYep.Feb 14 00:13
oiaohmYes NT 4 documentation.Feb 14 00:13
cubezzza way for manufacturers to sell more hardware maybe?Feb 14 00:13
oiaohmWas removed from Windows 2000 SDK documentation yuhongFeb 14 00:13
cubezzzwash, rinse, repeat with each new dozeFeb 14 00:13
oiaohmOpps DDKFeb 14 00:14
oiaohmwhat is up with me todya I Have SDK and DDK mixed up.Feb 14 00:14
yuhongWhere? I am talking specifically this field only.Feb 14 00:14
shreddarWell officially 2000 was the successor to their NT line.Feb 14 00:14
shreddarME was the successor the 98 I think.Feb 14 00:14
yuhongI don't have the NT 4 DDK.Feb 14 00:14
oiaohmIt was even used in a example driver in the NT4 DDKFeb 14 00:14
shreddarThough nobody really rembers it.Feb 14 00:15
cubezzzand naturally almost no one has driver source codeFeb 14 00:15
oiaohmBasically this should give you a clue how old some of the driver code still in use is yuhongFeb 14 00:15
yuhongI know, but was KTHREAD::Spare0[0] one of them?Feb 14 00:16
oiaohmThat was used in a driver example for making a base vesa driver for NT4 DDK.  yuhongFeb 14 00:16
yuhongOK.Feb 14 00:17
oiaohmThat was shipped with the NT4 DDK.Feb 14 00:17
yuhongOK.Feb 14 00:17
yuhongYea, I think NT 4 driver support is waning over time.Feb 14 00:17
oiaohmNo a lot of new drivers are created off old code bases.Feb 14 00:17
oiaohmSo since the NT4 driver did that the 2000 XP and so on updates do it the same way since it still works.Feb 14 00:18
oiaohmOk still works until MS changes things.Feb 14 00:18
cubezzzsounds like trouble :)Feb 14 00:18

yuhongoiaohm: One last thing, any links you can provide describing all this?Feb 14 00:20
oiaohmWhen I hit with problems I dig back threw our achives of DDK's here to see what was going on.Feb 14 00:21
yuhongGood idea, I think.Feb 14 00:21
oiaohmParticularly when my audit reports told my the drivers had not been.Feb 14 00:21
oiaohmchanged.Feb 14 00:21
oiaohmAnd the machines had been working perfectly.Feb 14 00:22
oiaohmIe still matched clean install.Feb 14 00:22
yuhongYep, so you really used WinDbg or KD to do debugging?Feb 14 00:22
oiaohmI don't but windows guy here does.Feb 14 00:23
yuhongYep, so you really used WinDbg or KD to do debugging on the kernel?Feb 14 00:23
yuhongGood.Feb 14 00:23
oiaohmMy job is debug the Linux systems.Feb 14 00:23

yuhongSo you mean that security updates do break depreciated functions?Feb 14 00:24
oiaohmYep and depreciated ways of doing things.Feb 14 00:25
oiaohmOk 10 year depreciated stuff.Feb 14 00:25

cubezzzno updates, no problemsFeb 14 00:26
cubezzzalthought I doubt win95 gets any updates nowFeb 14 00:26
oiaohmMS could have started off with monitoring first and displayed warnings if anything in system was using stuff it should not have been.  But that would have been too much common sence.  yuhongFeb 14 00:26

cubezzzQueen, old song too :)Feb 14 00:31

oiaohmThe network driver stack correction in 2003 and vista and 2008.Feb 14 00:34

yuhongLink?Feb 14 00:34
oiaohmSBS adviser from MS warns you about the problem after the fact.Feb 14 00:35

oiaohmBut the update did not include detection.Feb 14 00:35
yuhongLink?Feb 14 00:35
oiaohmThe patch should have failed to apply.Feb 14 00:35
oiaohmI don't have the KB numbers here.Feb 14 00:36
oiaohmThere are 4 KB numbers linked to it include hacks to tell 2003 and 2008 not to interface with network drivers particular ways.Feb 14 00:36
oiaohmBut cost performance.Feb 14 00:37

oiaohmWorse was in december when a intel matrix raid controler driver was blocked from working due to a windows update.Feb 14 00:38

schestowitzYou could also run GNU tools on BSDFeb 14 21:58
schestowitzOriginal q was:Feb 14 21:58
schestowitzIs GNU more relevant than LinuxFeb 14 21:58
DaemonFCMinceR: Well, it seems that if you can run GNU on top of the BSD kernel....Feb 14 21:58
schestowitzThen you bring up bsd userland rather than kerneklFeb 14 21:58
DaemonFCyou you do the opposite and run BSD stuff on Linux kernelFeb 14 21:58
MinceRyou can run GNU on top of most unixes, that's how it was used before LinuxFeb 14 21:59
schestowitzWindows could run stuff too..... found in garbage cansFeb 14 21:59

DaemonFCis BSD too integrated to break it away from their kernel like that?Feb 14 21:59
MinceRi'm not sure what the piece of software that converts standard c calls into kernel API calls isFeb 14 21:59
MinceRi suspect it's in glibcFeb 14 21:59

MinceRwell, some bsd utils do run on gnu/linuxFeb 14 22:00
DaemonFCMinceR: One argument a FreeBSD user would make is that they have a more integrated system, whereas GNU and Linux are not. But seeing as how GNU has to make sure they work fine with Linux, I suspect this is bullshit.Feb 14 22:01
