AW: [gentoo-user] Samba & NT Domain
Thanks, Steve. It turned out all i needed to do was add an adduser script to the global section, that creates the users after checking with the PDC (haven't tried the `worst case' - logging in with a user not added to the domain) anyway, it works (for now). Thanks anyway.

Actually, let me rephrase that: Logon works quite fine, but what do I use for `valid users'? %U is a bit harsh, also that didn't turn out to work (so far) trying to share /tmp as an attempt to get general shares working I entered these values in the smb.conf: [tmp] comment = TMP Directory path = /tmp browseable = Yes read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 valid users = %U no, it didn't work yes, %U was a bad idea, but what else is `good' for domain users then???

[gentoo-user] bin2iso problems
i have a bin file, and wanted to extract one file from it, so i emerged bin2iso and converted it to an iso file (at least so i hoped) strangely enough the result was: -01.iso and -02.iso (the bin is an image of an SVCD) i wasn't that surprised though and just though `what the hell' and wanted to mount the -02.iso as a loopback device... so here goes: $ mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /mnt/iso mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0 or too many mounted filesystems i doubt it is the latter (too many filesystems) as i only have 10 mounted filesystems (including tmpfs that is) and i have no problem to mount another network drive. i do have loopback support compiled into the kernel (not as module) and seeing as the svcd-bin is inteded to be burned to a cdr, i should be right to assume that the filetype is iso9660.. what am i doing wrong??? help is appreciated cheers, -bri -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

not that it helps, but i get the exact same error, and of course the needed java resources are in /opt (also using blackdown java). i also posted this problem a while back (may 19th) but got no reply *sigh* i tried to solve the problem by just changing to the dir, and reading the README.SRC.txt it tells you to execute "ant dist" in the according directory. doing so results with the same error. also searching the build.xml for "SAXE" comes up with absolutely no result... beats me... i'll just download the java based installer and install it without emerge (www.jedit.org if you're still interested) cheers, -brian On Mon, 2003-06-02 at 05:56, Carlos wrote: > Hey people, > Well, trying to emerge jedit fails.

mmh, you could reboot with a gentoo/knopix/any bootable linux distro and then chroot/chdir to you're mounted harddrive, then you should be able to create /proc... i'm not 100% sure though, but it's well worth a try and sounds pretty much doable.

Re: [gentoo-user] Content (porn) Filter
even though this list perhaps shouldn't be used for a discussion like this i'll gladly add my opinion. though this time, from a "child's" point of view (since i've almost been through that beeing 18 now). i must say that i do agree with all of you're opinion. isn't it generally almost a fact, that just restricting a child to not do something, it will (often, but certainly not always) pretty much "encourage" them to find a way to get around it?! so, if you consider your "relationship" (as in understanding/"getting on with"/beeing able to explain things to your child) very well and you have the feeling they do too, then it definately is easier to just explain it to them (even if your "relationship" with them isn't "all that good" my opinion is, that you will, sooner or later have to explain this, and other things to them) and thus very likely prevent them from viewing offensive sites (at least at young ages - as the scotish standup comedian Billy Connolly explains in one of his sketches men/"young boys" generally do get a certain "urge"..). though for Michael's problem (work) the only thing you can really do (imho) is to block a "few selecte" hosts to keep the porn-banners from literally popping up in your face. i'd also suggest that this would be useful at home, though you wouldn't get around setting up squid/squidguard properly, that's the problem. for windows: there are various applications like netnanny for instance, though then you can easily have problems, like Susie wrote that children can't access hotmail.com from at home. as susie also said you could install mozilla and bannerblind, or in the case of using windows there are quite a few bannerblocking apps (not quite sure on the possibilities for other OS's) the problem you end up with in the end is that extensive "configuration" in the sense of adding sites manually is needed, as in my opinion it isn't the best idea to filter sites by just basically doing a few regexp matches on it's content - that will lead to unnecessarily blocked sites far too often. a little note to susie: well done on discouraging your son from using acros. i know what it's like when (some) people at school (accidentally?) use them, and it just scares me... luckily i never got into the habit of using them outside of irc-networks/e-mails/instant messangers. but to get back to the main point, as mentioned before: "well done" (even if it may not have been "all that much work" ;) -Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Portage/emerge and it's "default ebuilds"
Hello there fellow gentoo-users, i'm fairly new to gentoo (just installed it last weekend) and have been fiddling with it and the emerge/portage system for some time now. I have noticed that the "newest version available" is not always the newest version that actually is available. Waimea 0.4.0 for instance is available in the x11-wm/waimea directory, though if you go for the normal "emerge -u waiema" and you have version 0.3.3 installed it will tell you that there is nothing to update... this also applies to other applications, how come though? this can be rather frustrating at some points, especially if i prefer the 0.4.0 version over the 0.3.3 version (as an example). so i just decided to ebuild it. though, now every time i do an emerge -up world it will of course check the /var/cache/edb/world, see the "x11-wm/waimea" entry, and check to see if there is an update for it, and strangely enough it will tell me: > These are the packages that I would merge, in order: > > Calculating dependencies ...done! > [ebuildUD] x11-wm/waimea-0.3.3 [0.4.0] any ideas why this is so (as mentioned beforehand this of course also applies to other applications - ie. xchat) regards, Brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
