Unless those two legs are in phase, you're still only getting
110V-120V AC. IIRC (And it's from 20 years ago I'm working here) it's
not, it's just two legs of the 3 phase generated power. Which means
they're 120 deg out of phase, and so you still only get 110-120V. In
order to get 220-240V, you'd need 3 phase power.

I suspect you get two 110V lines because of current limitations. Not
to provide you with 220V which you'r enot going to get from just
adding two out of phase lines. (Unless of course the US has wired up
two in-phase separate 110V lines. In which case you can get 220V outof
it, but I seem to remember a lecture in Eng Sci saying it was common
to take 2 of 3 phases to a house in the US & alternate which 2 between
successive houses.

Plus you need twice the current at 110V vs 220V. (Volts are big 'V'
BTW! Named after Voltaire). This means higher line losses as loss is
proportional to current. Higher line losses mean that cable length
becomes more of a problem. (A 10V drop in 240V is less than 5%. 10V
drop in 120V is almost 10%. Much more significant).

All-in-all I prefer 240V single phase.

Safer to use a transformer 110V-220V which will lessen the danger of 
playing with two or three live wires, a misconnection can cause an 
outage with all sorts of problems generated, died disks and other 
apparatus.

Sorry, the french writer Voltaire was not dabbling in science. It was 
Alessandro Guiseppe Antonio Volta who detected the reaction of 
different metals on the muscles of a hindlegs of a frog and build the 
first electric battery from that detection.

The two lines are out of phase.  Here, big things like air conditioners,
stoves, dryers and central heat run off the 220 or 240v wires.  Small
things like lights, hair dryers, fans and even small window air
conditioners run off the 110 or 120v lines.  In most places here, 3
phase is not available unless you are in a area that has large factories
or are in a city.  Here the black and white wires are 120v, the red and
black wires are 220 or 240v.  Also note, you can tell the power company
which one you want when you get them to put up your pole.  We had 220v
for years.  When the transformer went out I asked for 240V.  With a
light load we actually get about 248v or so.  When something like the
A/C turns on it will drop to about 240v or so.  It stays pretty stable
after that though.  Keep in mind that light bulbs blow faster at the
higher voltage.  At the same time A/C compressors run a lot more efficient.

As far as being efficient with power usage, me two.  I have a friend
that uses some heavy equipment and some of them are 480v.  They put out
a lot more horsepower but they run very cool because the current draw is
so small. 

We here would likely be better off if we did use 220v like other
countries but it would take us years to convert things over.

The current drawn through a conductor (in this case a live body) is
determined by the voltage, and the resistance of the body itself. Basic,
elementary Ohms law. A live body will draw something in the order of 100
mA from 240V ac (assuming the power source can deliver that current, we
can assume it will as this is mains after all).

The point is that even if the power station can generate 14 brazillion
quadrillion amps and the wires to your house can carry it without
melting, you will still only have 100mA going through your body if you
happen to get shocked.

The power source delivers the volts and th4e sink doesn't get to change

You can use LDAP + pam_ldap for auth, I think there's a guide on gentoo.org.

Hi,

 from time to time when shutdown is nearly complete (right before the
 system's power goes down) udev spits a lot of messages onto the
 console.

 It way to fast to notice anything. I recognized only, that udev is
 the one with the "famous last words".

 I checked the file below /var/log for anything useful, but founnd
 nothing. 

 Does anyone have any idea, what is triggering this "cry of the udev"
 and what is going wrong there ?

 Thank you very much for any help in advance!

My university uses LDAP + AFS.

On a side note, when I was still fixing things for a living I used to
demonstrate to new trainees how current flow actually worked by
deliberately touching the mains live on a running tv set in complete

"emerge --depclean" does. Orphaned meaning "installed as a dependency
of something that is itself already deinstalled" (i.e. not in the
world-file). Be sure to check the list with "-p" before really doing
this!

Hm, I don't think so. Mine is similar: about 950MB. OpenOffice takes
370MB (it's the -bin version, it includes a lot of redundant
libraries). My GCCs take about 200MB (including java support). Then
there's Perl, 2x Python, 2x PHP and Wine's archive of windows DLLs. So
I think about 1G is quite normal for a typical desktop.

NFSv3 over TCP is pretty solid, but if you're in a mixed Windows-Linux

[gentoo-user] samba log hell

[reader]

I'm having a time getting samba working after having it working for
mnths.  I did do a major update world.  At the end when adjusting
files under /etc/  I rejected the new smb.conf keeping my old config
which is still in place.

It seems something has suddenly chagned whereby I cannot access any
linux shares from windows.

Attempting to get some details of the failure from the logs seem
fruitless since the log output is literally huge and nothing stands
out with big letters `error'.

I'm just not prepared to understand 670 lines of output for one
connection attempt.

And that is with `log level' cranked down to 3.

The following area seems to be important but even this small chunk
defies understanding far as I can see:

The `Sid' lines seem to be telling something but who knows what.  Then
finally it shows a ACCESS_DENIED.

reader and Harry are the only two authorized users
What provoked this piece of log is an attempt from machine `harvey' to
login to samba share on machine `reader'.  The incoming user is also
`reader'.

[gentoo-user] What is available besides samba

[reader]

For easy fast comunication between winxp and linux machines, is there
anything other than samba the works reliably.

The reason I ask is that I've run into a problem suddenly where none
of my win XP boxes can access shares on a linux box.  Trying to debug
this I see such a confusing mess in the logs as to not even get a clue
where the problem may be, or if it is with some other authentication
such as pam or what.

I've posted elsewhere with some details of the problem I see but
asking in this post and thread if there are other options that may not
be so rife with worthless non-informative log output and therefor be
easier to fix if it breaks.

Well, there's chmlib, which comes with a tool to extract files from the chm,
and archmage, which uses chmlib to make chm readable via apache (which then
could be, presumably, be viewed with a console web browser such as w3m).
Then, there's also something called chmtools.

I didn't test or even try to install any of these programs, it's just the

I don't quite get your question. CIFS/SMB is what Windows uses for its

Richard,

These rules worked like a charm. I had something similar, but had
the syntax messed up.
thx.

Now I have ONE big problem.
Spammers. (I think).

Running a sniffer between my firewall and the cable box's
ethernet (single static IP),
I see:

hackIP   myIP  TCP   smtp > 55634 (RST,ACK) Seq=0 ACK=1 WIN=0 LEN=0 MSS=1460
myIP hackIPTCP   55634 > smtp  (SYN) Seq=0 ACK=1 WIN=0 LEN=0
hackIP   myIP  TCP   smtp > 55634 (RST,ACK) Seq=0 ACK=1 WIN=0 LEN=0 MSS=1460

hackIP   myIP  TCP   smtp > 55634 (RST,ACK) Seq=0 ACK=1 WIN=0 LEN=0 MSS=1460
myIP hackIPTCP   55634 > smtp  (SYN) Seq=0 ACK=1 WIN=0 LEN=0

Last night I saw this for a while and then a storm of smtp traffic.
This site does not even run a mail server and all systems where 
shutdown except for the firewall and the sniffer.

This explains why this site is listed as a spammer site...
Somebody has been reflecting email off of this site for some time,
I suspect.

Got any idea for a (iptables) syntax to stop this?   Do I need to
reinstall the sysetm (gentoo-hardened firewall)???

thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Assuming you haven't mixed up the myIP and hackIP parts, this means
something on *your* system/network is trying to contact an smtp server
on what you are calling hackIP.  TCP/IP connections are initiated with
a SYN packet.  If they are accepted, you get a SYN,ACK packet back.
If they are rejected, you get a RST,ACK back.

Running 'host ' might prove enlightening.

coming from a country where you have to explicitly switch on the plugs
just so that

Yes, provided you have not modified the files yourself.


The problem is, that my /usr/lib/... and /usr/include/ almost 1 GB in size!


Sounds about right, but this command will generate a list of all
library files that portage things should be installed:

find /var/db/pkg/ -name CONTENTS | xargs grep /usr/lib/lib | awk '{
print $2 }' | sort

You can diff that with the output of "ls /usr/lib/lib*" to see what
may be there that portage doesn't know about.

Thanks, yes, of course their are those.  I should have defined what I
meant a bit better.
Is there a tool out there that allows a windows user to access linux
directories with an explorer like interface, or in some fairly
seemless way so that linux machines show up in `network places' or
something similar.

Something like an nfs for windows I guess.  I've seen that very thing
but it was an ancient non-developed app.

There's something called CIFS in the kernel, but I haven't used it yet.
It is apparently based on SMB and extends it.

It may be worth a try.

Has anyone else used this?

As far as I know, Windows XP and newer versions of Windows prefer CIFS over SMB. You can't even access a Win2k3 share with samba without CIFS or disabling a server signing in the Win2k3 server.

Take your pick. Though as far as I know the only one Windows can
actually mount (as a drive) is Samba.

Samba is CIFS is Samba.  CIFS has been around in various forms since
the early 90's.  The Samba team based much of their work on the
different CIFS implementations put out by Microsoft over the years.

I'm having a time getting samba working after having it working for

That was probably a mistake...my experience with the samba ebuild is
that it doesn't want to install it's own private copy of the
configuration, but a modified version of the existing config.  So it
is usually an indicator that something important has changed in the
configuration.

My interpretation of this is that the authentication part went fine,
but this user is not allowed to access the share.  I think we'll need
to see your smb.conf file to make sense of this.  It would also help
to know what version of samba you are running, and what use flags you
merged it with.

[gentoo-user] php compilation problem

[Vesselin Mladenov]

Hi,

I am tyring to compile dev-lang/php-4.4.2-r6 but unfortunatelly I
bumped into a weird problem.
I followe the php upgrade instructions form gentoo site. Everything
compiles, but Sablotron library is not detected properly from the php
configure script during emerge:

checking whether to enable xslt support... yes, shared
checking for XSLT Sablotron backend... shared
checking for libexpat dir for Sablotron XSL support... no
checking for iconv dir for Sablotron XSL support... no
checking for JavaScript for Sablotron XSL support... no
checking for Sablotron libraries in the default path... found in /usr
checking for sablot-config... found
checking for Sablotron version... >= 0.96
checking for iconv... (cached) yes
checking for SablotSetEncoding in -lsablot... no
checking for SablotGetOptions in -lsablot... no
---
This way I get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function:
xslt_set_encoding()" as xslt_set_encoding() is wrapper arround
SablotSetEncoding.

I checked my previousely installed(emerged) /usr/lib/libsablot.so.0.100.1:
---
objdump -t /usr/lib/libsablot.so.0.100.1 | grep SablotSetEncoding
0006e020 g F .text  006e  SablotSetEncoding

objdump -t /usr/lib/libsablot.so.0.100.1 | grep SablotGetOptions
0006ce40 g F .text  0021  SablotGetOptions

Can someone advise me what to do?
Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I transposed the entries. From Wireshark I took my time to copy 
more accurately
:

Remember, the entire network, except the firewall was physically
disconnected.  I did not save the Wireshark session at that time,

The lines above seen today, look very similar to the 
packet storm the session last night.

However, I'll try to save it, the next time it explodes. The 
lines above are merely suspicious to me.
It does look like part of RoadRunner, but last night the 
spam was in high gear, until I shut down the link

[gentoo-user] GCC-4.1.1 ate depscan.sh

[Richard Broersma Jr]

Hello All,

I recently took to plung in to moving my server to testing version of gcc 
4.1.1.  Well things
didn't turn-out to well.  During the emerge -e system, some package would not 
build completly.  So
instead of spending more time to discover the causes from my problem, I decided 
to call it a
night.  The next day, I restarted my server, but most of the start-up services 
failed to launch
i.e. (sshd/postfix/et.al...) .

The error message displayed was "/sbin/depscan.sh missing".  It seems that 
without it I am unable
to start any of my services without it.  Is there any packages that I need to 
emerge to restore
this script?  If not what is the recommend method of restoring it?

Once I can get this working, I will proceed on with testing of GCC 4.1.1. :-)

Thanks for all of the help.

Regards,

Richard Broersma Jr.


P.S.  Does anyone know of any supplementary upgrade links in addition to the

[gentoo-user] grub & Compaq cpqarray RAID array. devfs / udev problem?

[Stroller]

Hi there,

I'm feeling a bit stuffed with a machine upon which I recently ran  
`emerge -e world`. I'm surprised to think this is the cause, however  
the next time I booted grub failed to load, and I did not even get  
the usual menu asking me which kernel I want to load - all I get is  
"GRUB" in white letters at the very top left of a black screen.


Ok, I thought, this should be as easy as booting from the LiveCD,  
chrooting into the system and then running grub from in there. How  
naive could I be?


   livecd ~ # uname -a
   Linux livecd 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP Thu Feb 16 15:28:08 UTC 2006

   Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

   livecd ~ # mount -v /dev/ida/disc0/part4  /mnt/gentoo/

  I will try type reiserfs

   livecd ~ # mount -v /dev/ida/disc0/part1  /mnt/gentoo/boot/

   livecd ~ # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
   livecd / # env-update && source /etc/profile
   >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
   livecd / #

So mounting the RAID array from the LiveCD is the easy part. After  
this, nothing goes as planned:


   livecd / #  grub
   GNU GRUB  version 0.96  (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

   grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

   Error 15: File not found

   grub> root (hd0,0)
   Filesystem type is xfs, partition type 0x83

   grub> quit

Y'see, XFS isn't the filesystem of any of the partitions on the  
array, but that of the filesystem on the separate EIDE drive. And  
it's no good installing GRUB on this, I've tried before. :(


   livecd / # grep ida /etc/fstab
   /dev/ida/c0d0p1 /boot   ext2 
noauto,noatime  1 2
   /dev/ida/c0d0p2 noneswap 
sw  0 0
   /dev/ida/c0d0p4 /   reiserfs 
noatime 0 1


This is how the partitions are described in /etc/fstab, but...

   livecd / # grub-install /dev/ida/c0d0
   expr: non-numeric argument
   Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
   livecd / #

From the LiveCD (see first code sample) I was able to address the  
drive as /dev/ida/disc0/disc, but not from inside the system - this  
doesn't seem to be described in /dev:


   livecd / # grub-install /dev/ida/c0d0/disk
   /dev/ida/c0d0/disk: Not found or not a block device.
   livecd / # grub-install /dev/ida/disc0/disc

[gentoo-user] GCC 4.1.1 missing g++/c++

[Richard Broersma Jr]

Certain packages are failing to build because they make use of a C++ compiler.  
Is there a way to
ensure that this and other compilers of enterest are included with GCC?

The affect packages are:

ncurces, groff, sys-libs/db, python

All fail with the same error

Once again thanks for all of the help.

Regards,

Unless you are crazy enough to have USE=nocxx, you get a c++ compiler
with gcc.  Others are controlled by USE flags.

gcj - java compiler
fortran - fortran compiler
...and so on.

What error?

Re: [gentoo-user] grub & Compaq cpqarray RAID array. devfs / udev problem?

Y'see, XFS isn't the filesystem of any of the partitions on the
array, but that of the filesystem on the separate EIDE drive. And
it's no good installing GRUB on this, I've tried before. :(


You can try:

echo "(hd0) /dev/ida/disc0/disc" >> device.map
grub --device-map=device.map << EOF
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
EOF

However, the above will only work *if* the RAID array is the first
bootable drive in the BIOS configuration.  If the BIOS insists that
the IDE drive is the first bootable hard drive, and the raid array is
second, then you will need:

echo "(hd1) /dev/ida/disc0/disc" >> device.map
grub --device-map=device.map << EOF
root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
EOF

This should install grub to the MBR of the IDE drive, but load the
stage2 and menu.lst from /boot on the raid array.


 From the LiveCD (see first code sample) I was able to address the
drive as /dev/ida/disc0/disc, but not from inside the system - this
doesn't seem to be described in /dev:

livecd / # ls /dev/ida/
c0d0  c0d14p9   c0d6  c1d10p9   c1d2 c1d8


Look at  the major and minor numbers of /dev/ida/disc0/disc from your
system with ls -l.  My guess is they will be the same as the
/dev/ida/c0d0 device (c0d0 being short for controller 0, disc 0).
