   yes /bin/sh is asym to bash. I have used the selinux-2.4.21.r0, I need to read
some of the white papers when I can  I guess. Right now I am writting code doing
Discrete Math and a e-commerce security class. The wifey wants some time, not

I have moved to the selinux-2.4.21r0, and builds very nice no warning or errors
and then boots up.

in gentoo-sources selinux r4 & gentoo-sources  r5 in include/linux/times.h:

#ifndef _LINUX_TIMES_H
#define _LINUX_TIMES_H

struct tms {
clock_t tms_utime;
clock_t tms_stime;
clock_t tms_cutime;
clock_t tms_cstime;
};

#endif

 in gentoo-sources r6:
#ifndef _LINUX_TIMES_H
#define _LINUX_TIMES_H

struct tms {
clock_t tms_utime;
clock_t tms_ctime;
clock_t tms_cutime;
clock_t tms_cstime;
};

#endif

This would be ok if all uses of tms_stime; to tms_ctime in all *.c files that
use this part of the struct. I have made the following change to times.h for r6;

#ifndef _LINUX_TIMES_H
#define _LINUX_TIMES_H

struct tms {
clock_t tms_utime;
clock_t tms_stime;// was clock_t tms_ctime  RRS 09/04/03
clock_t tms_cutime;
clock_t tms_cstime;
};

#endif

In the following file:
  /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r6/include/linux/un.h

#ifndef _LINUX_UN_H
#define _LINUX_UN_H

#define UNIX_PATH_MAX   100 // change ( to 0 RRS 09/04/03

struct sockaddr_un {
 sa_family_t sun_family;  /* AF_UNIX */
 charsun_path[UNIX_PATH_MAX]; /* pathname */
   };

#endif /* _LINUX_UN_H */

I changed #define UNIX_PATH_MAX 10( to #define UNIX_PATH_MAX100 , I used
100 becuase it appeared to be a fat finger here, I perform this trick myself.
It could be the wrong value too high or low, it needs to be checked out farther

after these two changes the following bxImage is built:

[gentoo-user] boot partition is lost at boot up

2003-08-18 Thread Rick Sivernell
I have a major problem. I have installed about a month ago r5 and life was
running. I am using ex3 on /boot and reiserfs on all other partitions. On a
system reboot last friday I lost all ability to boot into the system. I have
performed the following 1 fsck -p /dev/hda(1)(2)(3) /boot swap & /(root), 
with a super block corruption. I did install a new cdrw scsi drive into the
system, while bios saw it gentoo did not. Today on furthur investagation I find
that/dev/hda(1)(2)(3) are non exsistant. I CREATED THE LINKS, I HAVE A LAPTOP 
RUNNING GENTOO R5, on reboot there are no links to /dev/hda. 

I have even tried to use MAKDEV and it makes the nodes for hdxx, on reboot they
are gone. Is the file/etc/devfsd.conf at fault here? I need to get this fixed as
I am writing software for a college course. I will send any further info if I
missed anything here or if the fstab will help Any help will be extremly helpfull
and appreciated. I can be contacted at [EMAIL PROTECTED] offlist. --

Re: [gentoo-user] question

2003-07-12 Thread Rick Sivernell
Stephan, Nathan, Jan 

   Excuse me a little, I tend to get upset after screwing with stuff that should
work the 1st time. Now I have fixed the problem. Let me explain properly what
what the problem is, I am cooled off now. In developing a program on Caldera
system, I have moved the code to gentoo. I now created a directory tree under
/usr/local name silverware with bin,docs,logs,lib/debug,lib/release & etc. When
scons built a new or rebuilt an shared lib, it is instructed to copy the lib to
the new directory, debug libs to lib/debug, release to release. These wre not
symlinks , just stright copies. In actually it was all proper, but this exerc
forced me to perform what I wanted in a more relative postion as I should have
done before. As things turned out I have had to perform some things & learn
gentoo a little better, I think I have. One thing I do know the worst linux
distro is 1k time better than M$sludge. At this point all is well here in
mudsville till the next crisis.  I still have a cupsd problem to work on and
sound does not seem to work, even though the system says sound is loaded. Hmmm,
that must wait a while. this program is for a directed study project that is
comming due in 3 months. Gentlemen, MUCH Gracious for the help and a switf kick
inthe x.

I guess software can not move, copy data or programs, you must be bash or
something. This is totally bull. I have te same on my caldera system and all
works fine. I have moved the location back onto the partition now and that
problem is gone.  I am almost ready to dump gentoo, just too many problem here.

   Thanks for your reply. After the compile of a shared lib & it's creation, I
have scons, a python script system who compiles code, copy the new lib to a new
location. There has not been a ln -s of any type on other linux systems. Now I
have just moved all development to this new linux distro. I am using the latest
python, scons, gcc & etc on gentoo.  I have half a dozen shared libs that are
built & moved.

   I am having a big problem. I am developing a new software program and now
transferring the development from other boxen that compile and run the progam. On
my new gentoo system I get the following:


 [EMAIL PROTECTED] silverwareIDE # scons. scons:

  I have tried to run fsck from within grub but no go, & tried to get into run

how to fix this. I am using resiserfs on all partitions except /boot -> ext3.

   Yes, but the /usr/local/lib now isnot there. The ld.so.conf is as:
-rw-r--r--1 root root  468 Jul  5 23:45 /etc/ld.so.conf is this
correct?

   Well, it seems to be a combinationation of sys mounting /mnt/.init.d and maybe
a little of /dev/hda1 /boot. /boot only had bzImage. Ist, I emerge grup and redid
that & setup to mbr. That seem to help get it started. got /boot being seen
first, but  look at fstab & mtab

[gentoo-user] DEVFSD

2003-06-03 Thread Rick Sivernell

  ost ready to throw out gentoo. I cannot get devfsd to start. Since it will not
start or load itself, I have no printing, and without printing the whole thing is
useless. Now I have done all of the hoop jumping, 2 dozen kernel recompiles and
different checks all over. I have yet to find any info on where the "devfsd /dev"
command is to be put within the system startup scripts. Is there anyone who
knows, or is this a special secret. Help is appreciated, as time for me is
running out.

cheers

[gentoo-user] devfsd question

2003-06-01 Thread Rick Sivernell

Well, I think I have narrowed down my problem here, but not sure. When I boot
into gentoo  during startup, I get you have not installed devfs into the system,
it is required. Well, I have recompiled, many times trying to find the proble. I
can not find where in the start scripts that the following is useddevfsd /dev. 
Where do I put it? many thanks

   In menuconfig -> filesystem I selected everything but reiser debug. and at [*]

[gentoo-user] question

2003-05-29 Thread Rick Sivernell

  Got system up and running now, but 2 small quirks to fix.

1. On boot, I get the devfs must be set for gentoo & check with site,
   thus /boot is not in /etc/fstab but /mnt/init.d/.., althoght there is
   a /boot/bzImage only in /boot. Did I miss something/

2. can not mount cdrom fstab says there needs to be a
   /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, there is none and no /dev/cdroms. I assume there
   is a command to build this in /dev.

[gentoo-user] failures

2003-05-27 Thread Rick Sivernell
list

   For 3 weeks I have been trying t build a system, on a PIII w/
a 60g HD. The system builds ok from livecd, but when started on its own
I get 3 errors.

1. devfs not installed, bull shit I have set every thing on in
filesystem except debugging and it is set to [*], used the setup from a
running gentoo system, same mobo same drives types. tempfs installed on
boot to /etc/mtab, /etc/fstab is the same except hda partition a little
different.

2. I have /dev/hda1 /boot ext2
  /dev/hda2 swap
  /dev/hda3 /  reiserfs  all on a 30g of space
  /dev/hda3 /extendedall of the rest of hd 

3. no networking, even thought I have set everthing up in setup and it
worked nicely. even brought over hosts, nsswitch & resolve from working
machine. 

I can get the msg from /var/log/msg file if need be, not much there.
any help appreciated. Really getting tired of this, it should work
without this much effort.

cheers
