Re: [gentoo-user] Way OT: Doesn't IP need TCP or UDP for transport?
I not sure how it all goes together, but I do know there are more IP protocols than I first realized. TCP and UDP are two transport protocols over IP and ICMP is a seperate one. There is also AH/IP and ESP/IP used for VPNs (protocol ids of 51 and 50). As I understand it IP is just the addressing system and transport or low level functionallity (TCP, UDP, ICMP, AH, ESP) works under IP (more or less using IP for address and routing). As far as the protocols we are used to seeing (POP3, SMTP, HTTP, ...) are within the application layer (I believe... it been awhile since I've looked at the protocol layers) and require TCP or UDP for transportation. The other protocols seem to have more specific payloads. IP protocols: TCP/IP - Generic payloads with redelivery if errors UDP/IP - Generic payloads with no error checking ICMP/IP - Specific payloads for network information/testing AH/IP - Specific payload; IPsec Authenication Header ESP/IP - Specific payload; Encapsulated Security Payload ... and I'm sure there are more defined out there. I hope this make some sense to you ;) Ron On Thu, 2003-12-04 at 20:39, Joshua Banks wrote: > Hello, > > I thought for any type of IP packet to go out onto the internet Zone > (passed the local default gateway) that the packet needed to use either > TCP or UDP to accomplish transportation? > > I always seem to come up with the weirdest questions that I never see > other people ask.

[gentoo-user] ebuilds to rpms
Hi all I'm new to Gentoo (but not Linux) and must say this is a fantastic system. Now I don't have to spend time building or customising binary distros to fit my needs ;) First I must apologise if this is the wrong list to post this question to, but I have been pouring over documents and forums and have been getting hints of this and just need some help as where to find an answer. Some background: Looks like I might have some projects requiring me to put linux on small specific embed systems. After all is said and done, Gentoo is looking like the best distro to build these systems with. Since the systems will all be the same, there is no need for them to build packages individually (just on a build server). The binary tarballs created by portage will do the trick nicely, but rpms would simplify things further (and be able to add signatures and such to the binaries). I've noticed an RPMDIR option for portage but zero explanation about it and the forums seem to only to discuss the installation of third-party rpms. If portage can turn an ebuild into an rpm would have me dancing in the streets ;).

Me thinks your procmail problem is probably a misconfigured .procmailrc
more than a procmail problem. Try something like this. Change where
necessary to match your setup.
Note that on MAILDIR type setups, locks in the recipies are not
necessary. You are creating unique files in a directory, the who
purpose of Maildir to begin with. Locks are for files, not directories
in this case. Exception is spamassassin which needs locks.
>From your log file:
Procmail: Match on "^FROM:.*codewordt\.co\.uk"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=.maildir/.flat"
^^
procmail: Opening ".maildir/.flat"
^^
procmail: Error while writing to ".maildir/.flat"
^
Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/gentoo/.maildir/msg.AkD"
Whats this? All your messages are going into a message file.
Your paths to your maildir folders are wrong. First of all, forget
about using locks in Maildir folders. Locks serve no purpose there.
Indeed thats one of the reasons that Maildir folders exist.
Now, First some common mistakes in procmail, while, they work, are not
really 100% correct:
# Dont use locks on Maildir folders as such...
:0:
* ^Subject:.*text
# Assumes my MUA puts a ':' in the Subject line. What if it doesnt?
HINT: use * ^Subject.*text _NOT_ ^Subject:. Ok?
# Escaping the '.' to detect a '.'
* ^List-Id.*cvs\.lists\.horde\.org
# ^List-Id headers dont need escaping the regex '.', it's redundant
# it complicates things, and it makes it harder to read.
# Ahh much better, and easier to read too :)
* ^List-Id.*cvs.lists.horde.org
I assume your MTA is properly configured to let procmail deliver the
mail.
Hint: for postfix,
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
Note: in procmailrc *ALWAYS* give the file a shell. Always
give it a path to any programs it may need.
Note 2: I use Courier-imap. Support about 1000 usrs. And well your
procmail recipes are not working because you do not understand how
Maildirs are structured, and secondly you do not understand how Courier
sets up its folders in the maildir directory structure. Understanding
this is a necessary prerequsite to getting procmail to work.
I've included a short sample from one of my hundreds of .procmailrc
scripts. It should contain enough info to help you get started, unless
you are just completely and utterly lost, in which case, you should
probably pay someone to set this up for you.
I go though great pains to define _all_ my IMAP folders at the start of
the script. After trying to debug a procmail.log file with hundred of
thousands of entries, supporting hundreds of users, the extra
readability given to the script itself is well worth the effort.
Last, I've included a sample from my procmail.log to show how
procmail expands the directory names.
Hopefully this will be helpful to others as well. I do not claim to be
an expert, this is stuff I have learned on my own and it's nothing
special trust me.

[gentoo-user] mplayer install
Perhaps there is some place to look for this sort of info, but as yet, I haven't found it. When I run mplayer, I get a message saying that mplayer was compiled WITHOUT libdvdread. I emerged both libdvdread and libdvdcss and included both of them in my USE statement in /etc/make.conf. Is there something else I should have done to get mplayer to work? Help would be appreciated. Thanks. rk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] CDPLAY help, please
Thank you for responding. I did manage to get the problem sorted out. I had changed /etc/devfsd.conf so that cdrom0 would point to the dvd drive and cdrom1 would point to the cdrwriter drive. When I saw tha cdplay -j caused the dvd tray to open, figured there must be something wron with the links, so I changed devfsd.con back to its default setting. Now tnigs work. It still doesn't make seems to me cdrom0 should be the dvd drive a cdrom1 should be the cdwriter. Oh, well - it seems to work. Thanks rk brett holcomb wrote: If it mounts, etc. it isn't a devfs problem. What device is cdplay looking for - do you have a symlink or entry in /dev/ for it?

Re: [gentoo-user] CDPLAY help, please
After some further testing, this would appear to be a devfsd - realated problem. cdplay -j causes the tray in my dvd drive to eject. The dvd drive is master and the cdrom/writer is slave. Ordinarily this should not be a problem. I edited /etc/devfsd.conf to create the propriate links to accommodate dvd master and cdrom slave. This works fine for mounting a dvd or a cd in the respective drive. Do I now have to change the drive placement to accommodate cdplay and audio CDs? rk = cdplay: couldn't read CD head! My CD drive is a Yamaha CRW3200E IDE burner. I am able to mount and read CD's with no problem. If anyone can tell me what the above error message is trying to tell me, I would really appreciate it.
