Re: [gentoo-user] telnet setup
* lukas [EMAIL PROTECTED] [02/ 9/04]: I emerged netkit-telnetd along with xinetd and added xinetd to the default runlevel. in /etc/xinetd.d/telnetd I changed diabled = yes to = no, so telnet's enabled with xinetd. now, when I access my telnetd using telnet 127.0.0.1 I can login normally, without any problems, but when I try to log in from a remote computer on my local network it says 'connection refused by foreign host'. ssh works over lan, but as I said I need telnet to control my computer remotely. How are you connected to the internet? Are you using a router or a firewall(script) or something else? I`m using a router, which acts as a hub at the same time, to provide access internet. And I want to be able to access my computer from a remote host (outside the local network). I found the idea about making sshd listen on the telnet port quite interesting, how do I achieve this?

Re: [gentoo-user] telnet setup
* Arne Vogel [EMAIL PROTECTED] [02/10/04]: Do man sshd_config and look for ListenAddress. Adjust /etc/ssh/sshd_config accordingly and start/restart sshd. I've now put 'Port 23' and 'ListenAdress localhost:23' into sshd_config. When I do 'ssh -p 23 127.0.0.1' I can connect to my local sshd, but when I use putty to log in from another computer connected to network, telling it to connect to 192.168.1.1 (my local ip) at port 23 with ssh protocoll it doesn't work. It says 'connection refused'. Leaving the sshd config alone and connecting via port 22 works perfect. I don't have a firewall set up. I'm I doing something wrong with configuring sshd?

[gentoo-user] telnet setup
hi, my isp disables me in using ssh, so I'm forced to use telnet to remotely access my computer. I'll try to change this, but for now I want to set up telnet. I emerged netkit-telnetd along with xinetd and added xinetd to the default runlevel. in /etc/xinetd.d/telnetd I changed diabled = yes to = no, so telnet's enabled with xinetd. now, when I access my telnetd using telnet 127.0.0.1 I can login normally, without any problems, but when I try to log in from a remote computer on my local network it says 'connection refused by foreign host'. ssh works over lan, but as I said I need telnet to control my computer remotely. am I missing something?? thanks in advance for any hints, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] telnet setup
* Ric Messier [EMAIL PROTECTED] [02/ 9/04]: Not sure why they would allow telnet and not ssh. However, since I assume they are accomplishing this with port blocking, you can get around it by getting ssh to listen on the telnet port. Or, if you are using a cable modem/firewall, you can do a port forward. :-) Ric I'll try this, thanks a lot. And I really have to say that I don't have the slightest idea why one should block ssh...

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge and x of y in xterm title....
* Timothy Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] [02/ 6/04]: I believe I saw a comment the other day about someone who said that when they did an emerge it showed package X of Y in the title bar of their xterm. Is that built in functionality? or a custom thing someone created? This is a built-in feature. If you're using some terminal emulator which allows changing the window title this should work. Don't know if xterm has this functionality. I'm using gnome-terminal and it works fine here. David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] gzip compressed gnome sources
Hi, I want to upgrade to the latest gnome version (2.4.1). I have a cd containing the whole sources, but gzip compressed (not bzip2). I did 'lndir /mnt/cdrom/gnome-2.4.1 /usr/portage/distfiles' and tried emerge -pf gnome. portage now wants to download the whole set of files as .bz, it doesn't use the .gz files. It wouldn't be a problem for me to download the .bz compressed sources as I have a quite fast internet connection, but I'm curious to know if I could use the .gz ones too and if so how. So, is this possible somehow? (manually untar'ing the compressed sources or something??) David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] k3b
Hi, I want to emerge k3b on my gentoo system. I'm not a KDE user so I want to avoid installing many kdelibs. Is there a way to install k3b without arts for example? Is it safe to just 'emerge inject arts-' and then install k3b? I remember using k3b on slackware without arts, though there were some error messages when I tried to playback music due to the lack of arts on my system. Thanks in advance for any answers, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Am Fre, den 12.12.2003 schrieb Vanh Phom um 06:45: How do I emerge a package from the online site? Vanh first do 'emerge sync' to update your local portage tree. then you should be able to 'emerge cdrtools' and it will automatically install the latest cdrtools package. using the online package db you'll see what the current official portage tree has to offer, but you can't use it directly. as said before sync your local portage tree in order to have new ebuilds available. and please avoid starting a new thread in an old thread by replying to some message.

[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 sound
I recently built a kernel from gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1. basically the new kernel works quite well. all apps like evolution, nautilus... have a slight speed increase and seem to react more directly to user input. however, I can't play back mp3 using mpg321 or rhythmbox while doing other things in background. whenever I fire up some bigger program (e.g. evolution), do something with an already running app or shut down some program there's some noticable crackling in audio playback, sometimes audio output is silent for a second. using the stock linux kernel (vanilla-sources-2.4.22) this didn't happen. if I choose some song in rhythmbox it also takes longer to load as before. I tried using esd and directly play audio, no difference. I'm using the ALSA i8x0 driver for my on-board soundchip. has this somehow to do with why gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 are masked? if not, what else could cause this behaviour? thanks in advance for any answers, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I remember that some time back. that's right. emerge depclean tried to unmerge sh-utils and textutils I think, because they were replaced by coreutils. as my system wasn't quite up to date something wen't wrong. at least I could recover using my slackware install. so do I have to run 'emerge -uD world' or the like before using 'emerge depclean' to avoid troubles?

[gentoo-user] nautilus-cd-burner
hi, i don't think this is a gentoo only problem, but anyway. i recently emerged nautilus-cd-burner. now i can make an iso file using nautilus, but i can't write it to cd using nautilus-cd-burner. i think this has to do with the permissions i have on my cd-writer device. now, is there any gentoo way of giving a user the permission to access the cd writer or do i have to set this up manually. if i had to do it manually i'd think of editing my /etc/devfsd.conf, but i'm not really familiar with it. so, could anyone point out how to mod /etc/devfsd.conf or how to setup permissions any other way?? thanks in advance, David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
