All requsts are sent to me regardless. Still, when I tell proftpd to bind to port 21, it keels over. I commented out the line on passive ports, no change. I tell it to bind to port 20 and it comes back up. Something on my machine is listening to port 21 for some reason. The router shouldn't be, and my ISP doesn't do any port blocking. With what you said above, by me taking my router out of the equation, disabling any forwarding rules in the router config, I should be just as if I were connected directly to my DSL modem. I currently don't have a firewall up (but I do have one I can throw up just by running the init script, the rules are already in place). So what services could possibly be taking up port 21? nmapfe shows only the following: Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-01-23 22:47 CST Interesting ports on 192.168.1.5: (The 1656 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 20/tcp open ftp-data 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 113/tcp open auth 783/tcp open hp-alarm-mgr 6000/tcp open X11 Device type: general purpose Running: Linux 2.4.X|2.5.X|2.6.X OS details: Linux 2.5.25 - 2.6.3 or Gentoo 1.2 Linux 2.4.19 rc1-rc7) Uptime 0.550 days (since Sun Jan 23 09:34:36 2005) Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.860 seconds nothing is touching port 21 as far as nmap can see.

What error? chmod doesn't give me an error but mv does when I try to mv a file to a dir I just chown'd (via root) to my user. Tells me that I don't have permission to write. O.o; It could be because the symlink I'm using to get to where I'm owning was made by root. I'll try fixing that and see what happens.

[gentoo-user] Questions and Problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 First the questions. Other then karamba-webcam, are there any programs in portage (emerge -s webcam came up with only karamba-webcam) to enable the viewing of video locally and through programs like Gnomemeeting? Do any of you folks recommend getting a Linux-based virus scanner? Since I'm doing some minor web hosting (mainly for Windows users) I've been thinking it might be a good idea but really am not sure if I should bother or not. Also, I know the command to change my desktop background, so I got to thinking it'd be nice if I could write a script that would be invoked every hour and change to a random background whose path is defined in a txt file (hand written) and was wondering how exactly would I make a shell script (I can write basic scripts, mainly for invoking commands with commonly used options) to pick one at random. Now the problems. XMMS 1.2.9 fails during compile. I've tried several different times but it fails each time, as does one of the dependencies for man2html. I've thought about filing a bug report but I'm not sure if it's a Gentoo bug or a bug with the program. I won't have the exact message again for a few days (XFree and GCC take a day and a half to compile) so I'll get back to you with the error messages if you folks want. Another problem I'm having is getting my mail to be filtered through my procmailrc file (will attach if wanted). Any thoughts on how to get Exim (my MTA of choice) to invoke procmail? I also have SpamAssassin installed, is that overkill or what is possibly causing these problems? - -- Joseph A.

This means that the daemon started and died. When you try to restart or stop
the daemon, the operation fails (because it is not running). Check any log
messages to find out why.
I've checked the logs, and other then a duplicate entry there was
nothing in there to indicate why it's failing to continue running after
I start it.

I've checked the logs and they don't make sense. The last entry (which
is no longer repeated but exim still dies on startup) refered to a line
that was commented out. Even so I removed the entry for that line, kept
an eye on the clock and waited two minutes, started exim, checked the
logs, no error, then tried to restart with the same error as above but
nothing recorded in the log file (I'm checking
/var/log/exim/exim_main.log and exim_panic.log) as to why it's still dieing.

[gentoo-user] Hello
Soon I shall be starting the process of installing Gentoo on a 133MHz comp with 80MB of RAM. Is the install process resumable? My internet connection, despite being an "always on" broadband connection, is rather unreliable (that and I want to reclaim the CD-RW once the process has moved past the installation of the base sytem). TIA for any help -- Wielder of the mighty +1 LARTsaber of Unsubscribe Instructions At End of Message, the +3 Clue-by-Four of No Attachments to a Mailing List, and the -4 Shield of No Spell Checker http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.homelinux.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
