[gentoo-user] Permission issue with both defvs and udev

2005-02-22 Thread Tobias Geimer
Hi there,
is anyone able to tell me why device nodes in /dev/sound/ always have 
permissions 600 and group (myuser):audio instead of (as configured in 
devfsd.conf or udev.conf) 660 and root:audio? When killing and 
restarting the udevd (or, respectively, devfsd) process, the correct 
permissions are being set. I use fvwm2 but don't see any configuration 
option which seems to interfere with this.

Any help is appreciated!

This will also fail at some time, because this header is not under the

This is a PAM issue and has been around for quite a while. Apparently
PAM and UDEV (no experience with devfs, but might be the same thing)
doesn't really like each other. Possible workarounds are to delete
/etc/security/console.perms (move it to some other place, just in case)
or to put udevstart in your local.start. It prevents PAM from resetting
the permissions or let UDEV overwrite PAMs permissions according to its
settings in /etc/udev/permissions.d respectively.

Karsten

[gentoo-user] EMERGE SYNC DOWNLOADS 1 FILE?

2005-02-22 Thread Joel Merrick
Hi,

Got a big problem, my emerge sync is only downloading 1 file, all the
time.

I also have some segfaults when starting up (mv'ing my resolv.conf) and
other random tasks (although they always fail consistently)

The last thing I did was update gcc and glibc :S

gcc-config -l shows that I'm on 3.3.5 (regular, not vanilla or any
hardened)

Now I can't recompile _anything_ as it's segfaulting (thought it might
need a kernel or gcc glibc recompile/downgrade)

I don't *think* it's memory as it was fine before this and it fails in
the same places all the time..

Any ideas on what I can do to rescue this R4 system? I don't want to
have to re-stage-1 it :(

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] Searching Gentoo for certain binaries and/or packages: console-tools, doexec, mktemp

2005-02-22 Thread Kevin
Hi List-
Anyone know where in Gentoo I can find any of these packages or binaries?
Info from rpmfind.net:
package console-tools with binary consolechars;
package initscripts with binary /bin/doexec (as found in redhat);
package mktemp with binary mktemp.
I've searched the list archives and portage ebuild files.  I found a 
thread discussing kbd vs. console-tools but it didn't help me figure out 
how to install console-tools.  I also found mention in some of the 
usermode and vanilla linux source ebuild files about console-tools being 
necessary to resolve ...the loadkeys fiasco..., but still not helpful 
in getting it installed.  Searching Google, I found a discussion that 
described a sys-apps/console-tools package in portage, but I see none in 
the current portage.

I can't find anything on either doexec or mktemp binaries.  rpmfind.net 
shows them coming from an rpm called initscripts (for doexec) and an rpm 
called mktemp (for the binary mktemp), but I don't see any candidates 
for these in Gentoo.

I have a system of uncertain origin that has some functionality that I'm 
trying to reproduce with a Gentoo system.  The unknown system is 
apparently based on redhat (it has a redhat 7.3 kernel) and it contains 
these binaries and I'm not certain where it uses them, but I thought 
that any Gentoo-implementation of a system performing similar 
functionality should have all of the unknown system's binaries at a minimum.

Thanks for any pointers.

The 2.6 kernel has options in it for building a tiny kernel for embedded

roll your own image for embedded stuff using chroot.

 if i wanted to build a small one for ocasional use that would the

Most embedded distros build updates as binaries on a separate (faster)

RE: [gentoo-user] Unattended sftp?

2005-02-22 Thread Dave Nebinger
 I think you're right.  Does this mean anyone could easily intercept my
 login and password and log in as me?

The basic answer for this is yes.  Definitely your password could be
intercepted and used by others.

But consider for a minute what is involved with that...

Someone floating out there on the net would have to be intercepting packets.
And the packets that you're sending would need to flow over the same path to
the endpoint (not guaranteed by IP).  And they would need to be able to
filter the mass of packets going by their system to get the one(s) with your
password information.  And they would initially have to identify a need to
get your password in order to target your packets for capture.

Granted all of this is indeed doable, but IMHO it's like looking for a
particular atom in a haystack, let alone the needle...

Root device is (3, 4)
Boot sector 512 bytes.
Setup is 4896 bytes.
System is 7985 kB
System is too big. Try using modules.
make[1]: *** [arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage] Error 1
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

This is on AMD64, trying to install the kernel after an stage3
installation (I'm still installing the machine). I have tried to put
everything as a module with no success. Has anybody else experienced
the same?

Not sure what doexec does.  I have the impression from this thread I

but that there are some differences (again, not sure of details).

http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@gentoo.org/msg09709.html
It's also mentioned in the following Gentoo ebuilds in association with 
something referred to as the loadkeys fiasco (?):

vanilla-sources-2.0.40.ebuild
vanilla-sources-2.2.26.ebuild
usermode-sources-2.4.26-r12.ebuild
It's not mentioned in the ebuilds for the later versions of these 
sources, so I guess the problem with loadkeys was resolved in some other 
way in them.

Thanks for your replies.  I didn't know about gentoo-stats.org.  That 
will be helpful in the future for me too.

Re: [gentoo-user] Unattended sftp?

2005-02-22 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
Passwords in ssh and sftp are sent encrypted, so the password cannot be
sniffed by moitoring your transmissions.  You cannot say the same for
ftp, telnet or http.

As someone pointed out, you can often arrange that two given accounts
can use sftp without passwords; I do this quite a bit.

Another approach that I use is to use the expect(1) package.  You install
it on one machine, and use it to automate just about any command-line
activity, including sending passwords.  The expect script that you wind
up with may have the password in the clear, but you keep it protected in
your own account.  If it's using sftp, for instance, then the password is
protected by the sftp protocols.

Expect is marvellously useful for automating all sorts of things that were
not written with automation in mind.

I hope this helps.

 The basic answer for this is yes.  Definitely your password could be
 intercepted and used by others.
 
 But consider for a minute what is involved with that...
 
 Someone floating out there on the net would have to be intercepting packets.
 And the packets that you're sending would need to flow over the same path to
 the endpoint (not guaranteed by IP).  And they would need to be able to
 filter the mass of packets going by their system to get the one(s) with your
 password information.  And they would initially have to identify a need to
 get your password in order to target your packets for capture.
 
 Granted all of this is indeed doable, but IMHO it's like looking for a
 particular atom in a haystack, let alone the needle...

[gentoo-user] Login problems with NIS and/or PAM

2005-02-22 Thread Matthias Bethke
I'm trying to integrate a Gentoo box into a network of mostly SuSE-based
machines using NIS. I've worked with NIS for quite a while, so getting
it to run was not a big problem, even though I'm fairly new to Gentoo.
The automounter maps get distributed just fine, yptest works, ypcat on
any map I like, just like it should; getpwent(3) works fine and returns
all accounts from the server---but still they don't work right. I.e. I
can su into any user account from root, but I can't login to any from
the console or XDM nor su from another unprivileged account. I always
get a message about failed authentication in pam_unix in the log. The
PAM config is the default from 0.77-r6. The pam_unix module is supposed
to just use the getpwnam() call and thus doesn't need any NIS support of
its own, right? Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

 
TIA!

[gentoo-user] udev and manual kernel building

2005-02-22 Thread Eric S. Johansson
I'm tearing my hair out of bit trying to figure out why udev is kinda 
working but still giving the grief with lvm2 partitions.

Background:
Trying to set up a xen system and right now I'm just working with the 
baseline (i.e.dom0) kernel.

Following the instructions found at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
mostly everything seems to go OK except for the fact that the logical 
volumes just aren't visible.  Now I may be getting lucky on the other 
devices because devfs was running before but I'm not sure how to tell.

the documentation also hints at the need for an initrd but I'm not sure 
what modules should go into the initrd.

ideas?

How is this an unwanted behavior? If it's a subject discussed on the

You see, that's how people are different, as I don't. Mail from the list 
I may not read in a timely fashion, or respond to promptly (if at all).

Mail to me (whether personal, or off topic) I want to know is to me 
personally, so I can treat it with the respect that all personal mail to 
me generally gets (although I do have one personal OT mail I haven't 
responded to, if the user who sent it is reading this, sorry, I haven't 
forgotten).

Filtering OT list mail addressed to me personally (and not received by 
the list) to a folder for this purpose helps me recognize it as 
personal. If the mail goes to the list folder, I naturally assume that 
the entire list received it, and do not recognize that this is not the 
case until I read the mail (which, it being list mail afaik, I may not 
do for quite some time).

Re: [gentoo-user] udev and manual kernel building

 I'm tearing my hair out of bit trying to figure out why udev is kinda
 working but still giving the grief with lvm2 partitions.

 Background:

 Trying to set up a xen system and right now I'm just working with the
 baseline (i.e.dom0) kernel.

 Following the instructions found at

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml

 mostly everything seems to go OK except for the fact that the logical
 volumes just aren't visible.  Now I may be getting lucky on the other
 devices because devfs was running before but I'm not sure how to tell.

 the documentation also hints at the need for an initrd but I'm not sure
 what modules should go into the initrd.

From my playing around with RAID and LVM 6 months ago, I gave up on this
with udev.

[gentoo-user] new to gentoo

Greetings,

My background is with slack80. Gentoo is way
different!

A few questions:

How does chown work? #chown username:users doesn't
work.

I added username to wheel group, but when I su I
get: name expired(something like that).

Gentoo seems to assume I have broadband but I live at
the end of an eight-mile phone line. When I try emerge
x-org it craps out at ttmfk* I'll have to download the
file seperately. Is that gonna be the only one?

I copied DIR_COLORS to $HOME/.dir_colors but ls still
outputs in monochrome.

Why can't I many tools(cp, mv for starters) in
/home/user as user? Must be root!

Manuel McLure wrote:
It's becoming pretty obvious that although you are very smart people, 
you wouldn't last a day in a customer support environment. 

Now, that's pretty funny... because I have worked in various customer 
support environments for quite some time, and one of the reasons that 
it pays to be very smart in that field is because *sometimes you 
have to tell the customer that they are wrong*, in such a way that 
they don't lose it (and you don't lose them as a customer).

The customer is not always right. They may think that if they just do 
thus-and-so (just click, buy whatever takes their fancy, whether or 
not their equipment/OS supports it, plug in a wireless card and be 
safe from having their bandwith stolen without lifting a finger to 
secure their system), that they have the right and ability to change 
natural/physical/electronic/gravitational law, but they don't.

And when they come face to face with the real world, CS is the one who 
has to tell them just what's going on, and how to fix it, if it's not 
already FUBAR'd beyond hope (which CS also has to be smart enough to 
figure out from the information they can pry out of a non-expert). So 
if CS isn't full of pretty smart people, CS doesn't last long, because 
it's a very delicate dance. Of course, charm helps, as does a certain 
amount of compassion, but a smart person can get around lacking those, 
if they must.

But this is not a customer service environment. Few if any of us have 
paid for Gentoo; we are only customers in the broadest sense. And if 
we are not aware by now that becoming a Gentoo customer is a 
cooperative agreement, that requires some active participation on our 
parts, then we have definitely made a mistake in becoming a Gentoo 
customer-- certainly in making *our* customers rely on Gentoo as well.

But that's so elitist! Give me a break. Some things are just the way 
they are. I have to stand on a stepstool to get some pots from the top 
of my kitchen cabinets; my boyfriend can reach them easily, because 
he's like a foot taller. It's not 'elitist' that he has the advantage 
of height and I don't; it's the way it is.

Gentoo is designed in such a way that the 'user' has to pay attention 
and exert energy to keep up with the daily changes-- usually they are 
improvements, but sometimes they aren't, and one needs to be awake for 
them, either way. That's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's not 
elitist to say that that's the way it needs to be if you intend to be 
here, any more than it's elitist to say that a construction worker 
needs to have physical strength and stamina in order to adequately 
perform his/her job. That's just the way it is.

And anyway, the bloody server isn't *broken*; it's *migrating* and 
it'll probably be done in a couple of days, knowing these guys. So 
it's a bloomin' tempest in a teapot in any case.

Maybe there are some options in your fstab that prevent users

If so, check the matching line in your /etc/fstab.

If you don't use lvm for / /usr and similar you don't need an initrd at all.
Built it in the kernel or as a module and let the gentoo init scripts

so I would welcome some suggestions on what's the best way to get udev 
and lvm working.

[disclaimer] OK, I have no idea what Xen is, and I have no idea what 
documentation you are reading that says you need an initrd[/disclaimer], 
but a combination of the Gentoo LVM2 guide at

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml
and the TDLP LVM how-to at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html
worked fine for me and say nothing about an initrd image.

LVM, software RAID work fine together, with no need for genkernel or an
initrd, as long as / is not on an LVM partition. If you want / on an LVM
partition, you do need the LVM stuff in an initrd, but it doesn't need to

You can either run
fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4 (made to fix this problem)
or
re-emerge libtool (I believe this fixes it too, since it recompiles 
libtool under the new version of gcc).

The issue is caused by the update of gcc.

it's amazing compared to manual compiling stuff on binary distro.
Before knowing gentoo all my servers was suse, and *all* the programs 
that did the main task compiled by hand (apache, php, mysql ...), this 
involved a pletora of libs in /usr/local and document every little step.
If you have never tryed that you cannon understund the nightmare it is ;)

As far as I know, as long as you have device-mapper loaded before udev

How are you loading device-mapper?

 Thanks for the thanks!  Sometimes users forget we volunteer to do
 this stuff, so it's nice to see these kind of mails every once in a
 while ;)

While I certainly agree with Mark in what a remarkably great job the 
Gentoo developer's community are doing, I'm a little uncertain about 
the meaning of running emerge -e. 

Okay, it's nice to have the opportunity of doing so, but I can't help 
the feeling that you could accomplish exactly the same with a normal, 
incremental emerge over time. The other alternative is of course if you 
have done something really radical with your USE flags, you may run an 
emerge -avuD --newuse world, as I have done a couple of times. But I 
can't, for the life of me, see the reason to run a full reemerge of 
everything unless something is seriously broken. 

In which case I rather do a complete reinstall, -- God forbid.

udev starts before modules are loaded, so device-mapper should be compiled

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
rebuilt the kernel with lvm and device-mapper built-in.
I reboot, I get the same thing I have every time. /etc/dm* doesn't exist
which makes sense because my raid set /dev/md0 seems to have vanished.
things are clearly sequenced wrong.  I probably need to defer the auto 
detection of the raid array until after udev comes up.  I think the md 
code runs before the I see the ide detection code come up for the raid 
drives.

Are the partitions comprising your RAID marked as Linux raid autodetect,
type FD? If so, this should have nothing to do with udev because the RAID
should be setup before the root partition is even mounted.

 While I certainly agree with Mark in what a remarkably great job the
 Gentoo developer's community are doing, I'm a little uncertain about
 the meaning of running emerge -e.
 
 Okay, it's nice to have the opportunity of doing so, but I can't help
 the feeling that you could accomplish exactly the same with a normal,
 incremental emerge over time. The other alternative is of course if you
 have done something really radical with your USE flags, you may run an
 emerge -avuD --newuse world, as I have done a couple of times. But I
 can't, for the life of me, see the reason to run a full reemerge of
 everything unless something is seriously broken.
 
 In which case I rather do a complete reinstall, -- God forbid.

Hi Leif,
   In general I completely agree. This machine has been very stable
and up for about 15 months at my dad's place. He dropped Windows and
became a Gentoo user. Everything had gone very well just doing the
normal emerge sync / emerge world routing for a long time.

   Recently the machine developed a strange problem where Evolution
wouldn't connect to the Internet. I messed for days with all the stuff
you would normally guess to be the root cause of that sort of thing
but nothing we did got it to work. Researching on the Internet I found
it to be a fairly common problem and that about 60% of people who had
the problem fixed it with the distro equivalent of emerge -e gnome.
Sort of as a last resort I tried that since I figured it could get
done overnight. It rebuilt about 260 packages and Evolution was fixed.

   At that point I could have stopped but since my dad was traveling
and the machine was just sitting there, and because the emerge -e
gnome had emerged a new glibc and gcc, a new xorg-x11 and a few other
pretty basic things, I decided that I'd like to do the other 200
packages not covered by emerge -e gnome. Not thinking it was worth the
time to script the whole thing I just kicked off the -e world, which
rebuilt the same 260 packages a second time, along with the other 210
or so that were not covered. It all worked except for 1 package
(nforce-audio) and that one is fixed in ~x86.

   Anyway, I really agree. I don't like the idea of completely
rebuilding the machine just because something doesn't work. Over time
you are pretty much correct - everything gets rebuilt, but iIn this
case, with him out of town and the opportunity in front of me to make
the machine like brand new, I didn't see any reason not to try.

   Gentoo is really a pretty amazing distribution and the developers
do a great job. I just wanted to say thanks.

Cheers,
Mark

 yes. scponly is a shell that only allowes scp/sftp and has the option of 
 jail. there was another one (I don't remember it's name), but due to 
 security issues it's now masked.

IIRC, it's called rssh

Actually that wouldn't work. What he needs is a way to prioritise

 Prioritising traffic is easy, but on a fast link that usually is not

 make my mind up thats it a real advantage or not on balance.

Karsten thanks for the suggestion.  It lead me to solving my problem.  I
had the correct libmad version installed from that bug report.

Playing around in the gst-plugins source I found that the
`MAD_EMPHASIS_RESERVED' wasn't getting plugged out of the mad.h
in /usr/include.  Why?

Because I had a copy in /usr/local/include.  Why I had a copy there, I
have no idea.

Removing the file (/usr/local/include/mad.h) allowed me to emerge
gst-plugins-mad-0.8.7 without any problem.

So, just remember /usr/local/include is in the include search path ( and
before /usr/include ).

Thanks,
