[gentoo-user] difference between "/etc/init.d/script start" and runing in default run-level

[Liu Chuan]

Sorry for the duplicate if you have seen the mail before.
I just want to make the question more specific.

After installing kde through "emerge kdebase-meta" and test with
"startx" of no problem, I add xdm to default run-level with modifying
display manager to kdm in "rc.conf". However when I reboot the
computer, the screen turn black for a second and then up without kdm
start. The log file only contain following info about kdm:

kdm[5526]: x server for display: 0 terminated unexpectedly
kdm[5526]: unknow session exit code 0 (sig 9) from manager process

"ps -ef" show kdm[5526] are still running.
However when I del xdm from default run-level or kill 5526 then type:
/etc/init.d/xdm start
the kdm just turn out to run smoothly.

Start with default xdm in rc.conf also had no problem.
It is so strange that there is no problem to start kdm after login
from command line, and only to fail at start-up in default run-level.

Any idea about the problem appreciated.
Actually I want to know what is the difference between running
"/etc/init.d/script start" and running from default level.

Thanks in advance.

[gentoo-user] xcdroast - gone?

[Ted Ozolins]

On a new install I tried to emerge xcdroast but I receive "404" no such
file. Checking for distfiles on various mirrors, I can not find any
trace of it. Has xcdroast been dropped by gentoo?

oh? for almost a year now I have an AMD64 system and I've used reiserfs for 
all my filesystems without any problems! so I can really recommend reiserfs 
but I can't say anything about other filesystems...

I don't know about firewire and preemtion since I don't have firewire. But 
recent kernels have two preemt options: full and voluntary preemtion maybe 
you can try both and see what happens.

>   - enable 32-bit emulation for some apps

yup, if you want to use Flash then you need a 32-bit browser. 
to use win32 codecs you need a 32-bit mplayer.

never tried to use lilo on AMD64, since I switched from lilo to grub and never 
want to go back.

a little tiny: your /usr gets very big when you have a lot of programs (Gentoo 
installs everything on /usr by default) and your posrtage cache easily 
reaches ~3GB...

I suggest to create a /usr partition of ~8GB and a / of ~2GB

in Gentoo /usr/local is almost not used: du /usr/local only lists empty dirs. 
so this can just reside on the /usr partition

Purely
a guess here but have you tried poking around in /etc/udev? I run PAM

I know not (naught? :) about the VPN but as far as your dynamic IP goes
I use changeip.com with great success. They are farily cheap and you
can send them a top level domain. The nice part is to update the DNS
records you can download a really simple Bash script and cron it to
make the updates.

Re: [gentoo-user] VPN?

[Michael W. Holdeman]

I have a dyndns account, it keeps the dns updted. I can always get to my 
router/gateway which is dyndns enabled, how do I get to my ip on the server, 
I need to mount the servers nfs export throught the router. I setup the 
correct ports for nfs to foreward, is that it?

If I can do that it would be very insecure, then I would disable that and 
set-up openvpn on the server to the router...


As I said I am over my head..

Re: [gentoo-user] VPN?

I've been having alot of luck with openvpn it's ssl based rather than
ipsec.  I have found it to be easier to setup and less confusing and
it has clients for various platforms including windows...which is not
always the easiest platform to use IPSEC with unless you go with a
commercial client.  You will need to setup a certificate authority and
understand the basics of openssl the rest is pretty simple.  It even
works behind a NAT router or firewall.  If the vpn connection is lost
it will re-establish it's connection automatically once it's routable
again.  This works for both dynamic ip clients and even the server as
long as you're using some sort of deamon to update dyndns info.

For the most part, atleast in my area, I find comcast IP's to be very
stable.  My IP hasn't changed in years.  My ip least just gets
renewed.

  A quick-n-dirty solution is to comment out every line in...
/etc/security/console.perms

  A more permanent correction is to get rid of PAM entirely.  Note that
if you're used to running under PAM, running without it turns into an
"everything you know is wrong" scenario.  Many security&authentication
settings will be handled by different files.  If you're used to running
under shadow (i.e. *NOT* PAM) then running under PAM will be an
"everything you know is wrong" scenario.

  If you don't know what PAM is, and you've only recently installed
Gentoo, you might want to consider removing PAM.  This has to be done
vey carefully.  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM has the
instructions for doing so.

I suggest one of those trendy dynamic DNS services (or a _real_ ISP). 
Not 
sure how well VPNs can cope with a changing address (at your laptop or home) 
though (I don't think IPsec would like it).

[gentoo-user] Any booby-traps with AMD64?

[Walter Dnes]

  Bad news... my 1.8 ghz P4 died recently and I'm now running on my
emergency backup 6-year-old Dell (450 mhz PIII and 128 megs of RAM).
Let's just say that editing 2560 X 1920 digital photos in GIMP is a
"rather liesurely" process.

  Good news... Saturday, I'm picking up...

64bit AMD 3000BP (with SSE3 !!!)
AMD 939pin Athlon 64bit 3000+ Retail Box
Giga-Byte K8NF-9 MB Firewire A & B
2 gigs (OK, so I pigged out) DDR400
SATA2 WD1600JS 160G 7200 8M 3G
SONY 1.44 Floppy Drive
LG 4163B 16X DVD??RW & DVDRAM
PCI-E16X ATI X300HyperMem256MTVDV
227/206 Tower Case w Power & Front USB
Audio, Gigabit Lan, Firewire A & B

  This'll be my first linux install that won't be 32-bit Intel.  I've
been reading the AMD64 install docs on the Gentoo.org website.  The big
items I've noticed are...
  - stick with ext2fs/ext3fs with all other filesystems being unstable
  - do not enable kernel pre-emption if I want firewire to work
  - enable 32-bit emulation for some apps

  I notice that the AMD64 Gentoo install manual at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml only lists
GRUB.  Does LILO not work on AMD64?

  I intend to use the following partition layout...
  - /8 gigs
  - swap 2 gigs
  - /var 8 gigs
  - /home gets the rest of the drive.  There'll be tons of my garbage
under /home/misc.  /usr/local and /opt will be symlinks on / with
the actual files sitting in /home/misc/local and /home/misc/opt.

  This layout reflects my experiences from my Windows and Redhat days.
Keep the OS on its own partition, so you can blow away and re-install or
install the next version as required.

  Anything else to watch for when installing on AMD64?

[gentoo-user] VPN?

[Michael W. Holdeman]

OK I have read the vpn howto, and tunneling from the howto, and to be 
truthfull i am totally over my head.

I have a LAN at the office including a freebsd file server, the server has an 
ip of 192.168.xx.xx, and several other gentoo desktops have the same +1 each. 
I have a linksys cable modem, and wireless router serving through the gateway 
of 192.168.xx.1. dns is fixed with 2 dns servers from comcast. Problem is I 
have a dynamis ip from comcast. 

I want to be able to access a desktop machine, and most importantly the bsd 
file server with my laptop, again with a dynamic assigned ip from remote 
locations.

What is the best combination, and some sort of howto for dummies would be 
great!!

Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] sub-net 0.0.0.0

[William Kenworthy]

This seems to be similar to the dlink adsl modem I am using (no routing
function).

Think of the 192.168.0.0 network as being the network between the modem
and the gateway machine.  In my case, the 10. (equiv) networks are on
the internal side of the gateway.  My gateway machine runs dhcp on eth0
(the 192.168.0.0/24 network).  When the adsl modem is unlocked, I get a
192.168.0.2 address from the adsl modem.  When locked, the 192.168.0.2
is replaced by the ISP allocated address.  The default gateway then
becomes the *ISP end* (far) of the adsl connection, and is normally set
by dhcp on your gateway machine.  The modem web server is always
reachable via 192.168.0.1, even after the ISP allocated
addresses/gateway are set.

In my case
1) ISP -> unlocked -> adsl modem -> 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.2 ->gateway
-> 192.168.1.x

2) ISP -> x.x.x.x -> adsl modem -> x.x.x.(x-1) -> gateway -> 192.168.1.x
||
-> 192.168.0.1 ->
Edited route -n for my gateway:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth1
192.168.43.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00

lo
0.0.0.0 x.x.x.21   0.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0


the .43 is a wireless network
the x.x.x.x is my ISP dhcp allocated IP as set by dhcp running on my
gateway.

I would steer clear of adding anything else to the 192.168.0.0/24
network as (in my case) things dont always work as expected (with an
accidental misconfiguration, I ended up with "wild" packets present on
my internal network).

yes (actually /etc/conf.d/net - you made a typo- and see net.examples in
the same directory)

if you only need to do it once in order to change the config on the
device then there is no need to put it in the config file, just do it on
the command line as per my original message. If you want to do it on
every boot /etc/conf.d/net is the place.

Re: [gentoo-user] Forgotten root password on remote system

[William Kenworthy]

I use "john the ripper" to test the passwords on my machines.  I created
accounts for all those I wanted to test using the original passwords
(all of which I know!), took a copy of the files then deleted the
accounts.  It took 17 days to bruteforce the root on one machine. Its
now 46 days and none of the others (root or user) have cracked yet.
Machine is a 677Mhz P3 coppermine running as my gateway (hence its up
24/7) with john niced down to 19.

moriah ~ # john -status
guesses: 1  time: 46:04:14:17 (3)  c/s: 1341
moriah ~ #

Two questions, 
1) are there any good dictionaries for john that add to the standard
one, and 

2) what other "common" password crackers are good for this purpose
(i.e., likely to be used by the bad guys)

[gentoo-user] strange problem with kdm

[Liu Chuan]

After installing kde through "emerge kdebase-meta" and test with
"startx" of no problem,
I add xdm to default runlevel with modifying display manager to kdm in
"rc.conf".
However when I reboot the computer, the screen turn black for a second
and then up
without kdm start. The log file only contain following info about kdm:

kdm[5526]: x server for display: 0 terminated unexpectedly
kdm[5526]: unknow session exit code 0 (sig 9) from manager process

"ps -ef" show kdm[5526] are still running. 
However when I del xdm from default runlevel or kill 5526 then type:
/etc/init.d/xdm start
the kdm just turn out to run smoothly.

And startup with default xdm in rc.conf also had no problem.

It is so strange that there is no problem to start kdm after login
from command line,
and only to fail at startup in default runlevel.

Any idea about the problem appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] GarageBand

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   Take a look at Rosegarden-4, Muse & Ardour. None of them duplicate
Garage Band but they probably represent the most mature of the Linux
'major' audio apps. A fun app, but very different from Garage Band,
would be Free Wheelin'. You can play it from a keyboard, and create
fun looping patterns.

   Your friend is not alone in his desires. For the 4 years I've been
doing Linux based audio I've wished, cajoled & begged for something to
replace Acid Pro. There is interest but no developer who'd been
willing to take up the mission and go make it happen.

   Hope this was of interest.

Cheers,
Mark

I've downloaded todays snapshot of protage and extracted
gimp-perl. Placed it in my portage tree.  Then unmasked it with
package.keyword file and ran `emerge -v -p gimp-perl and then without
-p.

The build pulled in 20 other perl packages and is running currently.
Should I expect trouble from doing it this way?

I've never seen one.  But there are a couple of options -

Get a DV cam and use it for S-Video input through firewire (much more 
than
your willing to pay).
Get a used SGI Indy off E-bay or other source, put Gentoo MIPS on it.  
They
have the VINO (Video In/Out) card working with a few patches to the 
kernel.
Cost - US$75 to US$300, plus shipping.

No such links appear after `emerge -v bbgallery'  so I guess not.

If you've upgraded the bios on the motherboard, then trash the motherboard.
It's not doing a proper reset to the AGP bus.

Other possibility is the chip on the MX440 is on the slow side of things and 
the reset
is too short for it.  Generally, the chip will eventually get slower as it ages 
and the problem
will get worse.

Ethereal's CLI counterpart is tcpdump, (you can use tcpdump to make capture 
files for Ethereal) you could also look in your dhcpd's lease file, or see if 
it responds to a ping to 224.0.0.1.

Will definitely add this command to my book.
It is so easy and I can't believe it.   It worked like a charm.

Is there a way to check what IP the device has on the network?
I know the device MAC address and when I plug it IN, it obtains one of
the IP via DHCP.   With 
arp -a IP
arp -e 
I can only check the MAC address.   Is there a way to other way around. 

I know ethereal will capture the IP address, but I was wandering if
there is any command line tool.

  I'm aware of xrandr; unfortunately, applications don't seem to be.
xrandr is great for internet-TV, when I want to temporarily resize the
screen, because resizing the screen doesn't cost anything in cpu cycles.
Software scaling of video is a cpu hog.  But Firefox won't automatically
resize to the new resolution.  fbpanel menubar disappears off the bottom
when I go to a smaller screen, etc, etc.

[gentoo-user] A Gentoo Firewall howto?

Hello,

I've decided to take the plunge and build my first, full featured
firewall on Gentoo. At first I was going to use 'gnap' but further
reading reveals that this sort of derived firewall is stateless,
and I want a statefull firewall. It's also masked.
(feel free to correct me if I miss something).

The firewall will have (3) nics, Outside(static IP) 
DMZ for several  web servers, mail server and DNS secondaries
and a private for a DNS server, PCs(doz) and assorted Linux systems.
So after googling for a while, I could not find any detailed documentation
on building a gentoo based robust firewall (I sure thought I'd ran across 
such a page/document, but, nothing today).

I did find some packages to 'ease the pain' on configuring iptables
and completing the firewall: Recommendations here?
fwbuilder

I did find this gentoo document:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml
This example is for a 2 nic basic firewall. 
I need a dmz that will have web servers, dns servers, and

I did find one Debian-centric security document:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto

Alternatively, since this machine is only going to be a firewall
& ethernet router so rather than securing a complete Gentoo system
I could just use a 'firewall cd' installation, if one exists
as a Gentoo derivative.

Any other ideas or recommendations on documents or firewall install

Note: my firewall experience is mostly with openbsd.

That's irrelevant. Portage keeps the ebuilds used to install each package
in /var/db/pkg. Otherwise updating a deprecated package would be
impossible. The problem is that the ebuild uses an eclass that no longer
exists.

That line is for running on the command line as root, for /etc/conf.d/net, a 
similar one would have the same efect (check the file, it has comments about 
it).

[gentoo-user] Network stuff is stopping itself

[Grant]

On 2 of my wireless systems, everything will start at boot up just
fine, but after awhile I can't reach the systems via ssh and "rc" will
mount the network filesystems, start ntpd, and start sshd like they
weren't started before.  It seems like this would happen if the
system loses contact with the network.  Is there any way to find
out if that is what's happening, and if so, to fix it?  Maybe
change the timeout?

I believe my troubles are arising from the fact that a required

the tool that creates the templates.

So far I've been unsuccessfull installing it via cpan as reported in
previous post.

 


emerge gimp-perl

On the templates, I think the missing "default" template is an 
installation error. 
I looked thru the perl script and did not see any special handling for 
"default". 
The $P{template} is just initialized to 'default'.  On

http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/templates.html, only two templates are
mentioned, monochrome and oldstyle.  Then some instruction on how to modify
the templates.  My guess is the author intends for you to link
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default to your preferred template.  Example:

 ln -s /usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default 
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/monochrome


In summary the ebuild is probably missing the gimp-perl dependency
and performing the default template link.

Can't see how this would be a problem, windows has had encrypted

[gentoo-user] gramps broken

[Noah Roberts]

A program I use called Gramps won't work anymore.  It appears to be a
problem with python rather than the program itself.  I can't figure it
out.  The ebuild works, I don't know what I might have upgraded but I
have been reinstalling various python modules ever since trying to make
it work.  Now I am stuck on this one:

Fatal Pithon error: could not import ORBit module
Aborted

I just forced emerge to emerge orbit-python-1.99.0-r1 but it is still
doing this.  Previously it complained about gtk2 so I emerged pygtk. 
Then it complained about gnome-python so I emerged it...now I get this
error and I emerged the orbit-python but it is still bitching.

Any ideas?  I've tried to emerge Gramps and it works fine but still
won't run.  I think it must have to do with interdependencies in the
libs it uses rather than what it uses itself because it was working
before and orbit-python wasn't here at that point.

Try this:

on your desktop, which normally has a 10.0.0.x address, add a virtual
entry for eth0, in other words give it another IP address in the subnet
needed by the other device:

something like:

ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.0.10 up

and you should be able to communicate directly with the device.

Sounds great to me Holly! (but then I just melt at anything you say anyway:O))

Althought I think the 2.6.12's are maybe a bit of a problem, at least trying 
to patch the ck-sources I use are a problem after 2.6.11, I can't get them 
going. I'm still stuck with 2.6.11-ck8.

You are right, setting the gateway to anything that 192.168.0.1 solved
the problem like 192.168.0.2.  I can not have the gateway set to
192.168.0.1 as the device I'm trying to access is hard coded to this IP.
In addition somebody recommend setting the sub-net to 0.0.0.0 which
didn't work for me.

Contrary to many folks preferences I got an inexpensive PCI-E 1x
Radeon to try out. I've had pretty good luck with ATI before. Anyway,
I'm going right down the same path you're having trouble with so we're
still in this together.

It would be thread hijacking to start another conversation about why
NVidia is considered 'more open source'. It seems to me that when I
emerge nvidia-kernel it doesn't build the driver from source so what's
the difference?

I do agree from the one NVidia card I got last week (AGP 4X for about
$40) that NVidia installed easily and works well, but since I got the
ATI fglrx driver working on my laptop I'm getting about 2X the
glxgears results (meaningly) vs. what I'm getting from the NVidia.

Anyway, I'm not worried about that as my use is audio recording and 3D
gaming is but a 30 minute break time occurance here.

OK, since the device probably has two outputs for dual screens the
system found them both. Look at lspci and you'll probably see devices
at

PCI:1:0:0
PCI:1:0:1

If the xorgconfig program put a line in somewhere in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf telling the system that a screen or device was
BusID 1:0:0 then (I guess...) that it's complaining because there
isn't some similar version for the second device. Try commenting out
the one that is there and then I think the system will accept the
definition for both devices.

OK, so does this kernel have /dev/agpgart and AMD Opteron/Athlon64
on-CPU GART support built as modules? Have you loaded both of the
modules? (modprobe agpgart and [[POSSIBLY - I'M GUESSING]] agp-amd64)

Again because it's still not happy about the way the kernel part of
the AGP stuff is built or installed apparently. Here's how I load the
ATI stuff on my laptop:

You'll get there. Search out the real name of the AMD agp-gart driver
if you haven't already.

[gentoo-user] attempt at using new nvidia drivers

[maxim wexler]

Hi everybody,

When I ran the program from

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0306.html

a ncurses-type window opens and offers two
pre-selected choices: install the audio drivers,
install the network drivers. I require neither but
can't de-select them. Can toggle from one to other but
that's it. Other than [OK] beneath the choices(?) and
the title there's nothing else
to be seen.

What now?

Ok.  You can get the ebuild tree sys-kernel/win4lin-sources from here:

http://www.logicetc.com/~rbickers/win4lin-sources.tar.bz2

Also, it appears the base and extras for that version are no longer

No, I set my firewall/router with my numbers.  My main network is set to

Not sure what hardware you have around, but if you don't have a 
crossover cable do you at least have a hub or switch? If you do, just 
disable DHCP temporarilly on your PC and manually set the IP address to 
192.168.0.2, set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 and netmask to 255.255.255.0 
and plug the PC and router device into the same hub/switch. This method 
has worked for me in the past when I have a router with a preset address 
that needed to be changed.

Sorry for the confusion.  Yes, I have to networks one main and second
backup network.
So my main network  (gateway) is 10.0.0.1 and this is the network I want
that device to be on (it is an ATA phone adapter 4xFXS).

Yes, that is was causing me confusion.  But I solve it.
I set my backup network (in order to access the device via browser) to
Gateway 192.168.0.05 (last digits anything lower than 1) and DHCP pool
range to 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.20

I've change the Lan Setting on that ATA device to DHCP and assign the

  I'm getting this:

So what gives?  I saw some stuffs on the internet that it could be SELinux, but I dont' think I have that, I'm running a

[gentoo-user] grub freezes

[capsel]

I have /boot with ext2 on hda1
/ with reiserfs hda2
swap on hda3

some time ago grub worked fine (maybe with different configuration of devices)
through last year I was using lilo (everywhere, on my servers too)

today I tryed to install grub on mbr:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

it installed itself correctly but it freezes after displaying that
text about memory and "bash-like..."
no command prompt, alt+ctrl+del doesn't work, and no memory detected 0
on left side of "/" and on right

same thing after
grub-install /dev/hda

does anybody know how to solve it?

Ah! But I'm running a Sempron3100(32bit) CPU.

it's upgradeable to a 64bit without much fuss.

Follow it exactly. If you miss a step, you might have to whip out a
liveCD the next time your reboot to get into your systems. 


FWIW, you can always pass the kernel init=/bin/bash in your bootloader

Set your gateway to 192.168.0.2 and it will still work.

Or leave your addressing as it is and set up a route to 192.168.0.1 that
does not go through your gateway.

[gentoo-user] xserver

[John Dangler]

I emerged xorg-x11 and got the xorg.conf.new file copied over.  twm (I
think) is what's showing up.
When I exit the server, there is a message that I think relates to the
video.
"Symbol drmGetClient from module /usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is
unresolved!"
I've been told that a lot of these messages can safely be ignored, but I'd
like to find out if this is one of them, and, if not, how to go about
resolving it.
2.6.12-r9
Current video is ATI Radeon 7000/VE.  (older Radeon card - the x server
install handbook says not to use ati-drivers for this, so I haven't emerged
it)

Thanks, as always for the input.

Sure, you can recompile the kernel anytime (after all, how else to upgrade
a kernel from source?). There is a kernel agpgart option in Device Drivers

Intel also do 2 and 4 port cards, d-link also do a 4 port card.
All of which should simply appear to the system as individual network 
interfaces, and most are generally just multiple instances of normal well 
supported nics. The 2 port intels and 4 port d-links I've used certainly 
were, and worked just like 2 or 4 separate cards.

Yes, you might need to do this temporarily until you change the IP of the

Okay, so far I follow you. You have a main network. The Gateway is at
10.0.0.1, presumably that is also where the router/dhcp server lives?
Is this the network where your PC is on?

So hold on a second. I am lost. Are you dealing with a second separate
network? What kind of device are you speaking of? If you set the
gateway to 192.168.0.1 doesn't it conflict with the device? 

>

uh... I am pretty sure octet 0 is reserved for the last word? I.e.
valid IP addresses run from *.*.*.1 to *.*.*.254? 

192.168.0.0 refers actually to the network and not any particular
machines, and 192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address for the
192.168.0.0 network

Can't you move the gateway to something like 192.168.0.254 with the
DHCP range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.180? Since you have a device
hardcoded to be 192.168.0.1 you should leave it out of the DHCP range. 

Unless, of course, I am completely misunderstanding your post. If that
is the case, post an ascii diagram or something of what the network
looks like.

No, I set my firewall/router with my numbers.  My main network is set to

automatically) is 10.0.0.150 - 10.0.0.180

[gentoo-user] grub freezing

[capsel]

I have /boot with ext2 on hda1
/ with reiserfs hda2
swap on hda3

some time ago grub worked fine (maybe with different configuration of devices)
through last year I was using lilo (everywhere, on my servers too)

today I tryed to install grub on mbr:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

it installed itself correctly but it freezes after displaying that
text about memory and "bash-like..."
no command prompt, alt+ctrl+del doesn't work, and no memory detected 0
on left side of "/" and on right

same thing after
grub-install /dev/hda

does anybody know how to solve it?

Re: [gentoo-user] sudo

You also need to install vim because you have to edit the /etc/sudoers
file in order to add a user name. If you display the sudoers file ('cat
sudoers') it will tell you that the file *must* be edited by the visudo
command as root.


exaggeration... that is certainly the safe way to do it, but unless I'm 
mistaken, only really dangerous if you have lots of people logging 
in/you can't tell the other people not to do so while you are editing 
it. vipw stopped working for some strange reason and I have never looked 
back :-).

Certainly BETTER to do it that way, no denying that!

huh? if you get the IP via DHCP, doesn't it also set up the gateway?

in any case, the gateway should be the router... everything is plugged
into it, no?

I guess you mean your DHCP server/router? Set it to something that
doesn't include 192.168.0.1

UPDATE: did a sync and was able to emerge the new
ati-drivers. This time fglrx.ko *was* generated and is
loaded at boot. But now I get 

$startx
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance
(BusID PCI:1:0:1) found # faq says ignore

"xf86_ENODEV"
(EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP
Could not init font path element
/usr/share/fonts/local/, removing from list!

The fix according to the faq: I need to clean up the
sources make oldconfig etc, re-emerge the drivers.

WRONG :(

Re: [gentoo-user] Get rid of PAM?

PAM has been known to cause pain and suffering at unexpected times.

PAM is "pluggable authentication module". It deals with passwords and
permissions. It is useful because it provides a unified framework for
dealing with such things, i.e., programs can do
authentications/permissions without worrying about the implementation. 
With PAM, you can do cool tricks like implementing biometrics for an
entire system without having to resort to adding support for
biometrics for every single service. 

With that said, if you are only running home computers with no
servers open to the outside world, you should only have a minimal
number of programs that use authentication: login, or perhaps an ssh
daemon that only opens to the intranet. You don't necessarily need
PAM. 

The biggest problem I've heard is PAM creating a permissions hell in
/dev. But usually that's due to bad configuration between PAM and
udev. If done right, PAM shouldn't cause problems. 

But, for me, I decided to remove PAM after the following happened:
  One day, I ran emerge --update world. That included a PAM update.
  Two nights later, a power failure in my dorm power cycled the
  computer. 
  The morning the day after, I cannot login on the Console. For no
  good reason whatsoever, console login always tells me it failed. 
  BUT... I can still ssh to my box and login correctly. 
  After some digging around in the logs, it seems that some things
  moved around in the PAM world and one particular module was renamed
  (or removed?). But one of the modules that used it, the one that is
  called when I try to login on the console, was not updated. So
  everytime I try to login, the module executes to the point where the
  missing module is, craps out, and tells me I can't login. 
For months after that, I was extremely careful whenever I update
ANYTHING that has to do with authentication, and ALWAYS checked the
PAM directories to make sure the modules are sane. Eventually I just
got rid of it altogether.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM

Follow it exactly. If you miss a step, you might have to whip out a
liveCD the next time your reboot to get into your systems. 

The above link also contains a link to a thread on the forums
discussing the pros and cons of PAM. Though I think in this particular
thread the signal to noise ratio is rather low.

[gentoo-user] Can't compile gconf-2.10.1-r1

[José Pablo Ezequiel Fernández]

Note: I though I had solved this previously, but I was mistaken, I still have 
the problem.

I am upgrading my system from a GRP install and it has been a mess, I have 
solved various errors and now I have this one that I don't know how to solve:

make[2]: Entering directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/gconf-2.10.1-r1/work/GConf-2.10.1/gconf'

but it didn't help.

Any idea how to solve this and other things I could do to clean up a bit the 
system (did revdep-rebuild already, everything is ok).

Thanks.

Yep, this looks extremely cool. I'll give it a shot.
Have you used this successfully to build and maintain a

I suggest booting from a Gentoo CD. Make a tarball of the entire FS
you want to convert and either pipe it across the network or onto
another HD you can put in this machine. Reformat the partition.
Untarball the backup onto the newly formatted partition. You also need
to make sure you alter your fstab to mount the partition right (and
alter your grub or other boot config files accordingly as well).

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo on K6?

[Daniel da Veiga]

I have a k6, and I am pretty sure that you will like to have Gentoo
installed on yours, of course, for precaution I would install it with
another HD, or maybe dual boot with your current system, just till you
configure all the needed services on your new installation (I found it
a little complex first try).

For the rest, you'll have a lot of compilation time due to an relative
slow processor, but your RAM will make it with the CD install and if
you have a link you don't even need a networkless install. The compile
time will compensate, cause a optimized install will give you more
speed.

Good luck,

You already have the ebuild if it is installed, in /var/db/pkg. Portage
needs to keep the ebuilds of installed packages in order to uninstall
them.

There is an area on the Gentoo CVS server that hold old ebuilds removed
from portage.

Hi,
Think you could check "home router" doc in Docs-section on w.g.o, but it
seems you only need a kernel, iptables and optionally some
firewall-config-system if you use such (shorewall comes in mind ;)
Could use a minimal system after install + logger, cron, etc. Check
iptables deps to see.
Plus use distcc if too slow.

The time you save on not pressing delete a few times, everyone else
