[gentoo-user] per-user subversion repository
I want to let normal users to svnadmin create their own repsoities in their home dir and can access the repositories via apache using http://myhost/~username/svn/repos1, etc... And also, the user can assign username/password pairs for accessing his reposities. --- Anyone has tried this? Most tutorials I googled are talking about creating reposities in a system-wide location such as /var/svn and writing static apache config file. How to move the config part from /etc/apache to a user-base location? -- Qiangning HongGet Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=1
[gentoo-user] Add files to Live-CD
I want to add some my personal files to gentoo live-cd to carry on with. I downloaded install-x86-minimal-2004.3-r1.iso as a base. I tried the following but failed: # mount -o loop install-x86-minimal-2004.3-r1.iso /mnt/loop # cp myfiles.tar.gz /mnt/loop cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/loop/firefly_dbtsai.sh': Read-only file system So I think I must re-mkisofs the live-cd... but how to keep the bootable function (i.e. extract the boot floppy image out from livecd iso file) -- Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=1 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Restart X while emerging in xterm?
I have started a long-time emerging in an xterm. For some reason i want to restart X, but I don't want to intercept the emerging process. Is it possible that I suspend it and restart X and resume it in another xterm? -- Excellent FOSS (Free/Open Source Software): Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=1 Reclaim Your Inbox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=183 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Monitor stability of HDD which has no SMART support
I have a SAMBA server running. The hard disk is a ATA-1 flash drive which does not support S.M.A.R.T. However, I still want to know it's stablity status. Actually, according to the customer requirement, it should generate an alarm message everytime a non-correctable error has occurred. The data partition is a reiserfs partition. If an error occurs, will reiserfs record the error in a log file somewhere? If so, is it sufficient to monitor the log file and find the pattern of error message string to achieve my goal? -- Excellent FOSS (Free/Open Source Software): Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=1 Reclaim Your Inbox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=183 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] samba/reiserfs io error log
Will reiserfs write a log entry when file IO failed because of failure of hard disk (for example, bad block)? If not, will samba have such a log file? -- Excellent FOSS (Free/Open Source Software): Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=1 Reclaim Your Inbox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliatesamp;id=67907amp;t=183 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] OT: encrypt with smime.p7s
I received an email from one of my work partners with a attachment named smime.p7s. He want me to reply an encrypted letter using this public key. I have no certificates currently and thunderbird disallow me to use the Security/Encrypt This Message option of the compose window. Do I really need a certificate? I was thinking the other's public key ought to be sufficient. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] make a server on a resource-limited machine
I want to make a i486 machine to run SAMBA server, with the following requirements: - The whole system should run under 32MB memory. - The boot partition is less than 5MB, the system partition is less than 32MB, and the rest of hard disk for shared data. (Actually the hard disk is an expensive flash drive, that's why we want as little as possible of disk space used by system itself) I know it can be done using some binary distro such as RedHat or Debian, but I am only some familiar with Gentoo and just love it. Is it possible to boot the i486 machine with Gentoo LiveCD and only copy the needed software (in binary format of course) to it from the developper's gentoo box? That is, no gcc, no portage, no anything that is only required for compilation? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] How to get bit errors infomation from hard disk?
I want to write a script to get infomation about the stability of my IDE
hard disk. I want to know how many bit errors have occured and
corrected. I think it maybe can be retrieved from S.M.A.R.T so I
emerge'd ide-smart, but the output of ide-smart looks like a mess for
me. How can I tell the bit errors infomation from the following? Or I
should use another method to achieve my goal?
