SQUAT failed to open index file

Hi,
everytime I try to connect to my Postfix Server (with Cyrus IMAP) I get the following "error"

Any idea what is going wrong? Using a Prophet with Windows Mobile 6 (Shadow 1.0).
I know its more or less a Linux question, but an XDA is involved

[Q] VPN on NAND Android

Good morning,
have installed on my HD2 Android (MDJ 2.2) in the NAND. Now I want to create VPN.
OpenVPN settings downloaded. Superuser downloaded.
Linkages of the ifconfig and route to / system / bin / ifconfig to / system / xbins / bb / ifconfig
created.
OpenVPN binary is / system / xbins / openvpn
OpenVPN Settings settings: insmod = / system / lib / modules / tun.ko
Now I start a terminal session and run VPN:
# Openvpn - config /sdcard/openvpn/config.conf > /sdcard/openvpn/debug.txt
debug.txt file in the route and all the tun0 interface are created successfully.
Code:

[Q] OpenVPN para Milestone 2

Alguem já consegui instalar e usar o OpenVPN no milestone 2 com android 2.2 ? podem explicar como fizeram ?

Um. Yah. Might try English.

I believe he's looking for an explanation on how to use OpenVPN for the milestone 2 or he wants to know how it's made. not sure which. It is Portuguese though.

My understanding is that the tun-module is not used / loaded.
Checking on the device with lsmod, I get this output:
[email protected]:/ $ lsmod
Si4709_driver 17043 0 - Live 0xbf015000
j4fs 65970 1 - Live 0xbf000000 (P)
Is there a known problem or bug with tun-module with CM9?
I thought tun is not integrated in the kernel?
If this is wrong or simply not working, I assume I have to install a tun.ko on the device in /system/lib/modules. Where can I get this file?
Or is it advised to install another kernel?
If yes, which kernel is recommended?

From CAF/MSM8974 to Omni

Hallo,
i'm trying to build Omni for I9506/ks01lte. How can i achieve a list of present hardware so i know which drivers are needed? There is no 'lshw' binary or '/proc/device-tree' on my current CM13 image and I'm not sure how to gather a reliable hardware map to start searching for drivers. Are unknown detected devices listed in dmesg?
Looking at find7op kernel dts files it seems they injected some older stuff (most files include copyright from 2014). I guess they've taken that from stock. But how did they know what to pick in the first place?
My first milestone is setting up a vanilla caf msm8974 defconfig kernel with boot interrupted 'bootable/recovery' image. This should bring up a minimal system with adb i think.

General idea is - Try to determine which CAF tag the OEM derived their source from. Sometimes (not Samsung) the vendor is nice and tells you where they started.
Otherwise, you typically determine from https://codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/release which tags correspond to your chipset and the Android version of the OEM source
e.g. back in the Oppo find7 days, we started with (if I recall correctly) msm8974 and Android version 04.03.00 or something like that.
It takes a bit of work to check out a CAF tag, drop the source on it, and come up with a metric of "how much changed" - some people use "lines of code in the patch" others use "physical size of the resulting patch" - Someone else wrote a script that automated this, I don't have a link on hand though.
Once you determine the closest CAF tag to the OEM source - check that out, drop the OEM source on it, then commit the changes. Then work on splitting the diff up into smaller digestible chunks, usually by path.
Then apply these chunks to a new CAF tag, reading through everything and making a judgement call on what changes are needed/what aren't. Can be harder with Samsung as they make a lot of unnecessary changes.
https://github.com/Entropy512/kernel_find7_reference/commits/oppo_kernel - diffchunked Oppo find7 kernel, start point was LNX.LA.3.2.5-00210-8x74.0
https://github.com/Entropy512/kernel_find7_reference/tree/kk_3.5_oppo - initial effort to rebase onto CAF kk_3.5 tag (this was the chosen CAF baseline back then)
NOTE: Over the years, Max has stripped out even more "unneeded ****" over time.

Thanks. I somewhat hoped for a more "sorted" sub-vendor patches approach but looks like the world is not yet ready for that. Will give it a shot anyway.
There are more than 30 branches (LA.BF.1.1.1) for 5.0.1 in CAF repo though and Samsung were so nice and cleared/unified all file dates in their kernel. I already wasted too much time in trying to find some place to identify the kernel somehow. Without any success though.
I think i will do as you said and compare everything starting in the middle of the branches and try to see in which direction i have to go dependent on 'diff' difference. Its 100MB download per CAF kernel and 2x500MB comparison data. I will test with 'diff -r folder1 folder2'.

Looks like its LA.BF.1.1.1_rb1.1 for Samsung-I9506XXUDOJ2 (Android 5.0.1).
Code:
git init
git remote add git://codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm

# '--depth 1' strips commit history (for smaller download)

Thanks. I somewhat hoped for a more "sorted" sub-vendor patches approach but looks like the world is not yet ready for that. Will give it a shot anyway.
There are more than 30 branches (LA.BF.1.1.1) for 5.0.1 in CAF repo though and Samsung were so nice and cleared/unified all file dates in their kernel. I already wasted too much time in trying to find some place to identify the kernel somehow. Without any success though.
I think i will do as you said and compare everything starting in the middle of the branches and try to see in which direction i have to go dependent on 'diff' difference. Its 100MB download per CAF kernel and 2x500MB comparison data. I will test with 'diff -r folder1 folder2'.

If you grab CAF's git repo, it contains all branches and you can switch between them with "git checkout".
Process is something, sort-of, like:
git checkout <candidate tag> - should be able to just use the tag right from the releases page
extract Samsung tarball onto the checked out source
git diff > somefile
Look at size of somefile - Note, somewhere someone has a script that automates this whole thing and I think does it by analyzing lines of code change instead of diff patch size
I forget the sequence of git commands to pretty much clean the tree - you can do a "git diff" without committing FYI.
Repeat the above steps for each candidate
You might be able to, instead, drop the Samsung source somewhere, tag it, then diff the Samsung source's tag and the CAF tag with something like
git diff <tag1> <tag2>
eliminating the need to repeatedly drop the source onto a tag.
