Re: [gentoo-amd64] ssh fwbuilder
is your firewall machine actually called "firewall"? ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] uses ssh to login user root into a machine called firewall.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] ssh fwbuilder
Probably not. Its usually [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I am guessing its something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] Log into a terminal on the ssh server and hostname will give you the info. On my machine I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> hostname server.cybercolloids.office [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> hostname -s server [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> hostname -i 192.168.1.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> hostname -d cybercolloids.office so for me it would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, from the remote machine, try ping server.cybercolloids.office. (adjust for your hostname) That should get a response. If it doesn't try ping 192.168.1.1 (adjust for your ip) to determine if its a lookup problem or something else. Does your ssh server run iptables? If so is it allowing ssh through? iptables -L from the server will give you a summary Check your ssh server setup - normally on ssh servers root access is blocked anyway. Try cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -i rootlog my machine gives #PermitRootLogin yes PermitRootLogin no which tells me someone as switched root logins offno surprise Kevin.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] ssh fwbuilder
I am afraid I am slightly lost now. To log into the ssh server with a password you need the following: 1. Server running and accepting password logins - some don't accept passwords but only accept rsa/dsa keys - it depends on the setup. 2. You can "see" the server and the ssh port from the machine you are using. Can you see the ssh port from the client? This is the first thing to check. 3. If you are not logging in as root then your server must have an account for the username you are using (ignore anonymous complications for now). What name are you logging in as and is that user on the server? 4. ssh can be set up to only accept logins from specified users, if this is true for your server you need to be in the list otherwise ssh will reject you. 5. If your server has webmin you can administer the ssh server using that. It might make the configuration a bit easier for you. Try https://servername.domain:1 and see if you get anything. keep persisting.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] hardcore newbie
Not sure but in the past acpi/apic caused problems and sometimes you had to boot with some options. When the cd starts you should get the option to add some extra lines to the boot process (press F1, F2 and read the help). Something like: noapic nolapic acpi=off I don't think its your partitions because you partition and format them during the installation process... so you should get to a prompt with no partitions. The Gentoo installer - for me - has been quite robust whereas Ubuntu has been a constant pain with the install crashing part way through and thats with 5.10 and 6.04 and on various computers. You get the AMD64 install didn't you? there is also an IA64 (Intel Arch) which is a bit confusing. Kevin.

[gentoo-amd64] Problems with 32 bit binaries
I am running a ~amd64 system and I update the system every few days with emerge sync && emerge -uavDN world Over the weekend I found that Firefox, Thunderbird and openoffice all broke down and threw seg fault errors. All of these were installed as binaries. I removed thunderbird and installed and compiled the sourcfe version and got it working. So there appears to be a generic problem with 32 bit binaries. I have tried revdep-rebuild and removing and reinstalling openoffice but it still throws an error. I also tried various ideas on the internet - changing kde theme, deleting .gtk config files, running as another user, but they all fail with the same segfault. kryton kevin # ooffice2 1565: Hµÿÿ 1565: $¥ÿÿ/usr/lib32/openoffice/program/soffice: line 233: 1565 Segmentation fault "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@" Any ideas? I am kind of lost without OpenOffice. Kevin -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
