A paragraph from my studies I found rather interesting, and thought you
might
too.
{Hacking has become a serious problem, with new reports of hacking
attempts into private or government computers occurring almost daily. For
example, U.S. Department of Defense computers are attacked by hackers
hundreds of thousands of times a year, with probably many more times that
number of attacks going undetected. Many feel, in fact, that hacking is
one of the most serious threats to our nation's security. For example, in
19997 the National Security Agency hired 35 professional hackers to
perform simulated attacks on the U.S. electronic onfrastructure. During
that exercise, the hackers achieved access to 36 of the Department of
Defense's 400,000 networks, turned off sections of the U.S. power grid,
shut down parts
of the 911 network in Washington, D.C., and gained access to systems
aboard
a Navy cruiser at sea. Aother example of the potential threat hackers to
our
defense occured during the Gulf War when it was reported that Dutch
hackers stole information about U.S. troop movements from U.S. Defense
Department computers and tried to sell that information to the Iraqis.
Fortunately, the
Iraqis thought it was a hoax and turned it down. Hacking also poses a
serious
threat to vulnerable business computer systems.}

[gentoo-user] Python 2.3 ready?
Hi,
Just want to know about the status on python 2.3.
Does portage is totally ready for python 2.3 and
python 2.3 ebuild stable??
If the both question is positive, what should I do in order to install
python 2.3 on my box?
update portage then python 2.3??
how about those python modules??
How to make it work with python 2.{2,3}?

[gentoo-user] scim-chinese problem
Hi, I'm three days old infant in Gentoo world and I know already that I don't wont nothing but Gentoo. I am a Debian convert, by the way. I installed scim, scim-tables, scim-chinese (this is from rpm, since it's closed source). It works, but smart pinyin, which should be part of scim-chinese does't work.

[gentoo-user] Soundblaster AWE 64 issues
I've posted this issue in the Hardware and the Mulitmedia forums with no response. Google, emailing module authors, and other mailing lists have all failed to solve my problem. Here's the URL to one of the forum posts: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=99012 Here's the text from it with some minor edits, in case you don't feel like messing with the web: I'm running a PnP SB AWE64. The BIOS on boot reports an IRQ of 5 and DMAs of 3 and 6. dmesg reports that ISAPnP finds an IRQ of 5 and DMAs of 1 and 5. Not surprisingly, most sound doesn't play complaining of improper IRQ or DMA settings. The occasional sound I get out of it is fine, but very infrequent. I've compiled in ISAPnP, and built OSS and the sb driver as modules. Here are relavent lines from my module files: First, my initial configuration: /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4: sb awe_wave /etc/modules.d/aliases: alias sound-slot-0 sb alias sound-service-0-1 awe_wave post-install awe_wave /usr/bin/sfxload I've emerge awefx and whatnot. I've done my best to follow the instructions found in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32. When I noticed that ISAPnP and my BIOS didn't agree, I double checked to make sure Plug and Play OS was disabled in my BIOS, and that everything else in there was groovy. It seemed OK. So, in an attempt to get things to agree, I added irq=5 dma=3 dma16=6 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 isapnp=0 to the sb lines in both files listed above. In other words, my autoload file had the line: sb irq=5 dma=3 dma16=6 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 isapnp=0 The aliases file was similar. I also ran modules-update whenever I changed things. I double checked in /proc/ioports that the mpu_io and io settings were as above. This seemed to have no effect other than to cause a module failure report at boot. Strange thing is that the module still loaded by the time I logged in, with the old 1 and 5 DMA settings. If anybody can help me override ISAPnP so I can get the proper DMA settings in there, I'd really appreciate it. Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated. I'm really getting frustrated here. This card worked with no hardware changes under RedHat 9, so I know this is a software problem. Chad Martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Is it possible to create different connection scripts to automate the change from one connection to another ? I got recommened (a while ago) to create a number of virtual runlevels. I create 3 directories in /etc/runlevels as home, work1, work2 or whatever name takes your fancy. do a #rc-update add dhcpd work1 #rc-update add pptp home etc. I think you get the idea. use the command line with #rc work1 to start the work1 stuff and your done. If you use a script like /etc/init.d/net.eth0 more that once you probably need to copy it can many locations and make each one a bit different.

We hope that there are no problems left with portage and python-2.3, but
as there are some incompatibilities between 2.2 and 2.3 and some
important changes to portage to support python-2.3 it's still masked.

[gentoo-user] installation: dual-family support for wget 1.9
Since wget 1.9 supports either ipv6 or ipv4, but not both
simultaneously, new versions of gentoo cannot be seamlessly installed
with 'ipv6' in the USE variable. That is, unless your gentoo mirror
supports ipv6 connections.
I wrote a patch for wget 1.9 to support both ipv6 and ipv4
simultaneously, depending on the resolved addresses. This should solve
any wget-related problems with the install process. The patch is
located at:

Let me know if you experience any compilation or runtime problems
associated with this patch.
Additionally, you may modify your ebuild script to support all of this
this with the patch below.

RE: [gentoo-user] stability libxml2/docbook/scrollkeeper proble ms FIXED

I still haven't resolved the /etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/docbook problem. If someone would be willing to mail me a copy of their files, that would be great. -Original Message- From: Van Eps, Nathan D. Has anybody had stability problems with dual athlon mp systems with the 2.4.20-r6 kernel? I'm getting freezes after a few minutes of starting the kernel. It works fine without an SMP kernel (I used the one from the 1.4 boot disk). Does anybody have a stable dual athlon mp system running? Which kernel do you use? When I try to emerge gnome it stops while trying to emerge scrollkeeper. Scrollkeeper stops because of a missing docbook 4.1.2 xml dtd in /etc/xml/catalog. This file is populated when you emerge docbook-xml-dtd. The emerge fails (but doesn't stop) when the command xmlcatalog is used to update /etc/xml/catalog. The binary xmlcatalog is installed when installing the package libxml2. Has anybody had any problems with this and know a fix? Sorry if I missed comments in earlier threads.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo box hung - how to debug?
Hi, My main Gentoo box was hung this morning. It's been up and running fine for 6 months at least. This is the third time it hung this week. When hung the mouse and keyboard would not work, so I couldn't get past xscreensaver. ssh did not respond so I couldn't even come in from another machine to look around. The front power switch didn't work, so basically my wife had to just pull the plug for me. How do I debug this problem after the fact? There is nothing in /var/log/messages, and nothing particularly strange in dmesg. Applications I'm pretty sure were running when it hung were gkrellm, setiathome, and whatever gconf/benobo stuff is left over after Evolution has run and exited. (Does anyone know how to kill that stuff, other than kill?) I Can certainly not run those and see if the problem goes away, but that could take weeks since this only happens once in a while. I'm thinking that this may be due to something emerged in the last week of so. How can I check what I've emerged since Oct. 1st? Thanks in advance, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The wizard takes you through it. However, I haven't tried printing through cups. I have a Lantronix print server and just point my Linux and windows boxes at it.

Anyway, if you want to connect from Windows without samba, you'll have to take an unintuitive step: when adding the printer in Windows, *don't* specify 'network printer'. Specify 'local printer' instead, and when you have to choose a port add a new port, type TCP/IP I think, and enter the address of the computer with the printer. At least, I've seen it work for a networkerd printer, though I don't what protocol it used. Replying to my own post... I rebooted in Windows to try it out.

But I didn't emerge Mozilla-1.5. Didn't want to update all the packages of the dependencies, well not yet. I downloaded the binary-zip-file from www.mozilla.org, which works btw. quite fast so far. It seems faster to me than my Mozilla-1.4 that I emerged some time ago. Strange that the optimized compiled version is slower than the precompiled binaries. Maybe they made 1.5 a lot faster?

Re: [gentoo-user] No sound with alsa in X media programs (libmad buffer?)
OK, I actually figured out that it seems to only be a problem with mp3s. WAVs play fine in xine and rhythmbox (the offending programs). It just seems like mp3s wont work. Anyone have any ideas?

Whether I use rhythmbox or xine I get an error on the terminal that says: libmad: ALERT input buffer too small (417 bytes, 0 avail)! audio_alsa_out: snd_pcm_open() of front failed: Invalid argument audio_alsa_out: check if another program don't already use PCM However, sound does work if I just use aplay to play a wav file. Whats wrong? (Yes, I am in the audio group). Nathaniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] DJBDNS and Gentoo linux
Joshua Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Was this patch automatically applied when I emerged djbdns ?? Yes. It's part of the ebuild. When I do a qpkq -I -v this patch isn't listed. I don't know what qpkg is or does. Sorry. Wouldn't the above apply to how this is setup normally...regardless of having a forwarding caching server setup internally??... I.E..clients resolvers pointing to 2 upstream dns servers. Yes, of course. Additionally the upstream servers get info about the number of your internal computers. Your dnscache gets the client requests, they are forwarded to your forward server that does the resolving. The answer is the cached by your dnscache and given to the client. There is one step too much here, isn't it? Not that I can see. Not sure what you mean.?? Dnscache does a good job in resolving itself. So there is no need to forward to another server (special setups may *require* forwarding, but not in your case). So you simply let dnscache talk to all required dns servers itself instead of asking for help at the ISP's servers (that's called forwarding). So you don't use the core function of dnscache. Maybe you confuse forwarding with resolving? Ummm. I don't know. I thought in my type of setup that its doing both. No. Stock dnscache either does resolving or forwarding. With the fwdzone patch you control this on a per zone base. I thought that when forwarding it was more or less acting like a proxy on behalf of the clients that point to it. I think I can see your point of confusion. When talking about forwarding you mean the resolving that is done by dnscache on behalf of the stub resolvers at the clients. Explanation: nearly no clients contain a full blown resolver. They rely on a resolver that answers recursive queries. Such a resolver may be dnscache or the dns servers (caches/resolvers) at your ISP. But forwarding in context of dnscache means that dnscache doesn't do resolving - instead it relies on the resolver service of the ISP. When I rebooted svscan didn't start at boot which I find a little strange so I guess I need to add this to the default runlevel with the rc-update add svscan default. Sorry for the rant. This info is displayed when emerging daemontools, I think. But I may be wrong here. What info?? Hm. The info that you have add svscan to your default runlevel? Forwarding must work because I have two internal clients that are soley pointing their dns resolvers at my server that is running the forwarding cache at 192.168.1.1. They get dns resolution so I would have to assume that this is working correctly NO?? No. If dnscache does resolving itself, you have the setup that I recommended. This works too of course. To see what is going on look at your dnscache logfile. It contains the IP addresses that dnscache talks to (in hexadecimal format). Regards, Frank -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
