[gentoo-user] ITeX PCI ADSL modem
I have an ITeX PCI ADSL modem. Has anyone succeeded in getting one of these to work under Gentoo? If so, with which kernel and which driver? Which protocol do you use? (My connection is protocol T1.143 / 1577--classical IP over ATM.) TIA, -- *Martin Polley *Technical Communicator +972 (53) 864280 ** -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] RE: problem cloning root filesystem to alternate partition
The way I did this was to boot from CD (e.g. LiveCD) and then do the copy operation. That way /dev comes out the way it should. HTH, -- *Martin Polley *Technical Communicator (053) 864280 Subject: problem cloning root filesystem to alternate partition From: "Lincoln A. Baxter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2003 00:32:04 -0400 To: gentoo-user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In the past (with Redhat systems) I have made backups of root filesystems to alternate partitions and booted them. Typically I after making the alternate FS, I mount it on /mnt/altroot and cd to / and do the following: tar -cplf - | ( cd /mnt/altroot && tar -xvf - ) Then (after adding a stanza in /boot/grub/grub.conf), I boot into the alternate filesystem. This is real useful for being able to do upgrades, and quickly back it out, by just booting into the original FS. Recently I tried this with my Gentoo system and the boot into the copy crash back to the bios after printing "unable to open console device". So I looked at /dev on the alternate root FS. And sure enough it is empty. My kernel is configured with /devfs support. (I think this was a gentoo default with genkernel). I understand, why it is empty, I told tar to stay on the same filesystem. But was does the kernel not populate it when I boot the alternate. Any suggestions on how I can get my alternate root filesystem bootable? ** -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] RE: Alternatives to ftp, or easy but secure ftp servers?
Hi Mark, I run an Apache Tomcat server (on Windoze (sorry!), not Linux, but it is Java, so it will run on Linux too). Tomcat has support for WebDAV built in. Once you have the server running (and permissions configured), Windows users can just add your server to their "My Network Places", open up the "place'", and then drag n' drop files into it. And it uses secure HTTP, so security should not be an issue. It works well for me, except when transferring big files from behind a firewall (this is probably a firewall issue).

Hi, I work with some friends using Windows based environments doing music. We need to do studio to studio data file transfers. In a prior life I had an IT guy that managed an off-site ftp server and he was nice enough to give me a couple of accounts, but now I need to do this myself, and the only machine I have to do it on is my main studio Gentoo box. I am somewhat concerned about potential security issues using ftp, but since everyone is on Windows I also don't want to require them to use special tools just to be able to send me things. Are there any good options other than ftp that will work with both Linux and Windows? I am also concerned that my home studio firewall cannot limit ftp access by incoming IP, and will forward all ftp requests to this machine, so I need a solution that is pretty bullet proof, but hopefully is also easy enough for me to setup and run. (I be a IT guy not...) Can someone point me toward a few potential solutions that would be secure and also easy for a beginner type to setup and maintain?

RE: [gentoo-user] best way to move a gentoo installation
Hi Adam, When I did this, I used cp -a (can't remember exactly which switches...), BUT I did not do it from my live system. I booted from CD and then did all the copying. That way /dev gets copied the way it should. There may be other issues, but I did this ages ago, so I can't remember. Good luck!

Thanks to all who replied.

[gentoo-user] VMWare host-only networking question
Hi all, I am trying out VMWare to run Win2K inside Gentoo, but I cannot seem to get host-only networking to work. I am running Samba (not the one installed with VMWare), and the only time I can get the host to appear in the guest OS is when I specify netbios name = gentoo in smb.conf. (The actual host name is NOT gentoo, but when I use "localhost", I get nothing,) But Win2K tells me that "Gentoo" is not accessible... Any idea what I am doing wrong?
