I've got a few questions on these...
What is sfperms?
http://gentoo-wiki.com/MAN_make.conf_5
[quote man make.conf]
sfperms
Stands for Smart Filesystem Permissions. Before merging packages to the
live filesystem, automatically search for and set permissions on
setuid and setgid files. Files that are setuid have the group and other
read bits removed while files that are setgid have the other read bit
removed. See also suidctl below.
[/quote man make.conf]
This is how it translates into code:
[code]
# Smart FileSystem Permissions
if hasq sfperms $FEATURES; then
for i in $(find ${IMAGE}/ -type f -perm -4000); do
ebegin SetUID: [chmod go-r] $i
chmod go-r $i
eend $?
done
for i in $(find ${IMAGE}/ -type f -perm -2000); do
ebegin SetGID: [chmod o-r] $i
chmod o-r $i
eend $?
done
fi
[/code]
Is userpriv a good idea?
Probably, compile as user and not as root is good. Portage use a
sandbox, where accesses to filesystem are monitored and catched, this is
_not_ a security measure, it's more a protection against nasty Makefiles.
However I don't use userpriv so I don't know any drawbacks.
Are collision-protect and sandbox defaults? They seem good.
Can anyone tell me more about how fixpackages works?
no and yes, have a look at /etc/make.globals

I've posted to this list about mailman before, so I dug up those responses and followed there advice, setting the mail ID to the daemon's gid in the ebuild and setting the VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = OFF in mm_cfg.py. I set up a test list and went out to the website to subscribe myself to it. It said that my subscription was successful, but I never got any kind of welcome message in evolution, or even a notice that someone had subscribed (the address I subscribed to the Test list from was the same as what I gave as the owner of the list).

PHP was working until I added the -D MAILMAN to /etc/conf.d/apache2 This is how I have it now: APACHE2_OPTS=-D PHP4 APACHE2_OPTS=-D MAILMAN It's on two lines, and I think the second line is overriding the first. Originally I had it on one line: APACHE2_OPTS=-D PHP4 -D MAILMAN APACHE2_OPTS=-D PHP4 -D PYTHON works for me so you were right but then when I went to restart apache2 it wouldn't restart. It kept failing. What is the proper syntax for the APACHE2_OPT lines? yep APACHE2_OPTS=-D PHP4 alone work for you ? repeat with only MAILMAN + look at /var/log/apache2/error_log + look at the output of: # /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -D PHP4 -D MAILMAN -- No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it. ~ Charles M.

Transfer only /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 and redo a make install

it should work if not modified after the last install.
Alternatvely you can leave /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 out, if you

you can still disable your cron daemon, move your date behind, make

I'm ideally looking for something that will archive the mail for online

I don't think so but you can something more tricky, move them to a
compressed file system and then setup a secondary imap server that look

Re: [gentoo-user] What is /var/lib/portage/config and a problem
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: I noticed the file /var/lib/portage/config and wonder what it is. I could not find it mentioned in the portage, emerge, or ebuild man pages. I also looked in the portage chapter of the handbook. I bet it's used to see if the config files installed two different emerge are the same, in this way: # emerge mysql install a file in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, portage add an entry to .../config with it md5 sum. after this you hand modify it after a while you emerge again mysql # emerge mysql portage cannot analyze your /etc/mysql/my.cnf because you'd modified it. But portage is smart and go to see if the new /etc/mysql/my.cnf is the same it has recorded in .../config. If not you'll be prompted to keep your system in order with etc-update. in that file should stay all the files that match CONFIG_PROTECT variable (emerge --info show this one) It should not to be a disaster delete that file just boring. I ask because I have a problem with it. For some reason I cannot understand this file was moved (I guess by me) to /local/var/lib/portage/config and presumably a symlink left in /var/lib/portage. However, there is no symlink in /var/lib/portage and a new version of config has been generated. The same thing occurred with /var/lib/portage/world, but I understand this file and merged the two versions (after checking the new small one for sanity). Should I also merge the two config files and can I alphabetize them and uniq the result? Add manually stuff into .../world is not a good idea, # emerge --noreplace $(cat ../oldworld) should be better, leave it insert the packages into world, also *don't* sort it, I bet again that the order of emerge is important, surely it can rebuild it but leave it in it's original sorting IMHO is wy more secure. thanks, allan prego Francesco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Still it tends to create broken installs and might be discarded in the near future. The best way to install Gentoo (according to several sources in the IRC/forums and my own experience) is to use a stage-3-tarball in any case. One can simulate a stage-1 install without the issues that the broken /var/db introduces when using a stage-1-tarball. Odd, all of my gentoo installs have been stage1, and I don't think I have had any major problems that weren't my fault [1]. I'd really be disappointed if they did away with it.
