I have some kind of interest for these packages: app-admin/sudo app-admin/sysklogd app-shells/bash net-dialup/ppp net-firewall/iptables net-misc/dhcpcd net-misc/dhcp net-misc/ntp net-misc/openssh sys-apps/coreutils sys-apps/kbd But I think I cannot maintain all of them alone. So yeah, fresh (active!) blood in base-system would be nice. Kind regards Lars -- Lars Wendler Gentoo package maintainer GPG: 21CC CF02 4586 0A07 ED93 9F68 498F E765 960E 9B39 Attention! New gpg key!
