Re: [gentoo-user] How can I sort mail easily?
I personally use fetchmail, procmail and mutt. Fetchmail you use it, you have an idea. Procmail: The best for sorting your mail and more... It is a bit involved to setup, but it worth the effort. I filter all my mails with it and it can do spam deleting, editing mails in the fly, etc. Very good start for procmail is the infinite ink tutorial: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ This talk about you mailbox design as well. As for the mua: There are excellent graphical clients, I have been using them for years until I found mutt. It was a challenge to set up, but now I would not give it up for any other clients. It can do practically EVERYTHING. (Except inline showing of pictures). Beware, mutt's strenght is in the config file. Without customization (you can find lots of examples) of your muttrc you will never realize why people love mutt... There are excellent mutt tutorials on the web look at www.mutt.org. Just another thing: with fectmail/procmail/mutt you are not bound to a running graphical interface (although I find it more pleasant to run mutt in konsole:-)) When X refuse to start and you need to send an email for asking help or just read that old tip in your mailbox, it is nice to have your full blown mail system working on a console...

Re: [gentoo-user] How to write an init.d script
In theory you be able to copy the binaries over (especially being that they were compiled optimized for i386), as long as any required shared libs are available. Now the scripts themselves you probably will have to re- write, because their init script methods are VERY different from gentoo... If you look at the other scripts though... writing init scripts for gentoo is cake...

Regarding the binaries: what you are interested in is whether the version of glibc they were linked against is available on your Gentoo box. You can check this by running ldd on it. I suspect if they run on RH8, they will be okay with a Gentoo system. As to "corrupting" something, I doubt it. One of the benefits of a UNIX-like platform is the separation of processes. It is very hard for code malfunctioning due to corruption/binary incompatability to damage anything but it's own memory space; the moment it tries to do anything else, the kernel will kill it. -- Bruce J.A.

Perhaps. No such device can happen in several situations: * An application opens a device, say, /dev/hdf9 on a non-devfs machine with no hdf9; the kernel returns a specific error, "No such device". * An application tries to open a device - /dev/hdf9 - on a devfs machine with no hdf9. The device node does not exist, so the kernel returns "No such file or directory" to the program, and the program infers the device does not exist. * When a module is loaded, it would normally try to initialize any deviced it controlled. It might print something like "no such device" if it couldn't initialize the device correctly.

This is a little vague. modutils will refuse to load a module that is already in-kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to write an init.d script
One thing that is REALLY COOL about gentoo, is its inovative dependancy based init system, where you do not have to find a place (ie a numeric value) which is appropriate for K and S scripts. As much as I liked sysV style initscripts, when I first encountered then, the gentoo way, is really supperior. Yiu just declare your dependant services, and gentoo will call the start script in the right place automatically after you have run "rc-update add INITSCRIPT RUNLEVEL" to add the script to the appropriate run level (usually just default). You can look at any of the scripts in /etc/init.d to get the idea. It took me less than an hour to convert the oracle dbora init script from my red hat partition and convert it to gentoo. This is one part of the gentoo system it is WORTH getting to know. And it is not hard.

[gentoo-user] nfs permissions hell
hello all i'm having trouble understanding how to make nfs transparent. i've got the actual sharing of files down, but it's the permissions that are getting at me. there's a breakdown of what i want to have happen: i have two computers running linux (gentoo). a desktop (zathras), which has a grand total of three users, and a server (alexandria), which has only one. the server, is exporting a bunch of directories, but when i try to use them from the desktop i run into the following problems: i *can* create a file, but once it's created, i can't re-write to it. this is happening because i've got the permission bits on the directory set to "2775" the ownership set to "root.copyleft". and while my user belongs to group "copyleft", the umask of my client is forcing the permissions of the new file to 644. what is the best way to do this? keeping in mind that i am not the only user that will need access to these files. here's what i've got in my /etc/exports file: /mnt/share/copyleft/media zathras(rw,no_root_squash) /mnt/share/copyleft/media/video zathras(rw,no_root_squash) /mnt/share/copyleft/misczathras(rw,no_root_squash) /mnt/share/copyleft/softwarezathras(rw,no_root_squash) thanks ;-) -- it must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. for the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely the lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones. - machiavelli -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Does anyone else use j2sdk1.4.1 from sun? If so, please try the
following class, and tell me if you get question marks for output
or if you get the 8859-1 symbols (a Section symbol and a middle

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s = new String(new byte[] { (byte) 167, (byte) 183 });
System.out.println(s);

}
Alternatively, anyone know about this stuff? If I run the class
above in any other jdk I have that runs (1.1 on Debian, black
down on gentoo, IBM's jdk 1.2.2 on either, j2sdk 1.4.1 on
Windows) I get the section symbol and the dot. But if I use
j2sdk 1.4.1 on Linux (either Debian or Gentoo), I get two
question marks. I've been trying to figure this one out for a
couple of days now to no avail.

[gentoo-user] Weird traffic to dictionary.com?

What's weird is that I'm getting logs of, what appears to be, denied http return traffic from dictionary.com?

Hi!
I had the same problem when I bought my SX6000 RAID card.
This is a wonderful card but Linux drivers included are olds and would
compile well on (for example) 2.4.7 kernels but not most recents like
2.4.20.
For information, I've compiled ths sources under a Debian GNU/Linux with
gcc 2.95.4 and after modification of my Makefile it works.
Now how to modify your Makefile ?
1- DON'T follow their instructions, get a brand new Makefile just
detared :)
2- you'll have to modify the line beginning by 'CFLAGS247' to:
CFLAGS247 = -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/drivers/scsi
-I/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Wno-unused -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/modversions.h
(admitting that you have a 2.4.20 kernel without SMP)
3- After that you'll have to define manually (after autodetection) the
UTSVERSION variable. In order to do so, after the CFLAGS lines you'll
have two lines like:
SOURCES = pti_st.c
OBJECT = pti_st.o
Just add:
UTSVERSION="2.4.7-10" on the line after
4- Continue your kernel compilation...
This is the only way I've found in order to make it work. There is
another module developped by A.Cox but it doesn't work for me :/
In order to help you, I've joined my Makefile.
After that you will have a .o module that will you will load (it will
taint the kernel) and if it works, you'll have some lines like this in
your dmesg output:
Found PTI SuperTrak at mbase: 0xfb00, irq 9.
scsi0 : PROMISE SuperTrak SX6000 Driver
Vendor: PTI Model: SuperTrak Rev:

Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

sda: sda1
(here the 2Mb are from 3x10Gb in RAID5 before I find some money to
buy some hard disks ;)
Hope it will help you.

Nope. I've just fixed the toppost so you can see the quote you responded too. I tried both. In fact, I'd always used opera until the segfault and only then tried opera-static to see if that was also affected. Anyway. It's fixed thanks to Peter.

Edit /etc/conf.d/net, and add/edit the line "dhcpcd_ethX" (where ethX is
your interface) to contain the flag '-N' (the flag that tells dhcpcd to
don't mess around with ntp.conf).
So, my /etc/conf.d/net was:
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-R"
('-R' tells dhcpcd to leave /etc/resolv.conf alone).
I changed it to:
iface_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-R -N"

Re: [gentoo-user] time and office problems
Another good utility for this is rdate (found in most popular distributions): emerge rdate rdate -s time.nist.gov (Simply accomplishes the same thing... but is also available)... One thing I also find useful (being that my primary linux machine is a laptop) is to have an init script do the same thing upon bootup...

[gentoo-user] Promise SX6000 ATA raid controller pti_st driver module
I'm going bald from trying to get this driver to build. Anyone out there who have had success with compiling and running the pti_st driver for the sx6000 raid card? I've tried both under an old gentoo 1.2 install with gcc 2.95.3 and mcpu i686 and a newer gentoo 1.4 rc2 with gcc 3.2.1 and march athlon.
