[gentoo-user] Gentoo 2006.0 and udev
Hi again, As the handbook mentioned udev is default for Gentoo now. I have 1479 devices and directories in /dev after startup Hmmm, wasn't udev (and formerly devfs) meant to have only the devices needed? Is hotplug still an issue or is it started by bootmisc? If i plug in my USB stick (yes, I do have USB UHCI, EHCI, OHCI mass storage compiled into the kernel) I can't mount it. I remember some discussion about hotplug/coldplug and if coldplug makes sense at all. On the ~x86 installation based on 2005.0 there was no node in /dev for sd*. If I plugged in the stick sda and sda1 came up and I could mount sda1. My questions: Is the Gentoo UDEEV guide still valid for 2006.0? How do I get rid of all these unneeded device nodes in /dev? How do I ensure that devices plugged in while the system is up and running arise (Emerging hotplug and add it to the default runlevel, right?)?

[gentoo-user] Enabling Mutt with SSL for IMAP

Re: [gentoo-user] Greylisting vs. reject_rbl_client
Do you think this postfix anti-spam configuration is OK: smtpd_delay_reject = yes smtpd_helo_required = yes smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_invalid_hostname, permit I'd be careful with non_fqdn_hostname What's wrong with that? Here's how the postfix docs describe it: reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname (with Postfix 2.3: reject_non_fqdn_hostname) Reject the request when the HELO or EHLO hostname is not in fully-qualified domain form, as required by the RFC. smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_destination, permit That's pretty much what I run and you might want to look at smtpd_data_restrictions as well. What do you use with smtpd_data_restrictions? I was considering reject_unauth_pipelining but the docs have me confused with the Note below: reject_unauth_pipelining Reject the request when the client sends SMTP commands ahead of time where it is not allowed, or when the client sends SMTP commands ahead of time without knowing that Postfix actually supports ESMTP command pipelining. This stops mail from bulk mail software that improperly uses ESMTP command pipelining in order to speed up deliveries. Note: reject_unauth_pipelining is not useful outside smtpd_data_restrictions when 1) the client uses ESMTP (EHLO instead of HELO) and 2) with smtpd_delay_reject = yes (the default). The use of reject_unauth_pipelining in the other restriction contexts is therefore not recommended. Would it be OK to remove the following aliases since I never use them: It's good form to keep them on your server and compile with the relvent RFC which specifies these. Those aliases must be bringing in some spam though. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] [samba] No write to linux shares
I've posted this here because I know the advice on the samba list will be to update to samba-3.0.23b from previous posts there, however it appears there is no ebuild for that in todays sync and I'm not conversant enough with doing my own to update that way. Further I'm guessing several people here are running samba-3.0.23a without this write problem... so rather than argue with developers on samba list who will just tell me to update and see if problem is still there, I'm asking for help here from any savvy samba users running the current build available on portage. I'm able to see and navigate to the linux shares from a winxp box, but not able to write to the share. I've defined the share to have write abiltity like this in smb.conf: [smWinBk] comment = valid users = reader Harry path = /anex2/win_bk/ writeable = yes guest ok = yes The log from an attempt to write to the above share shows there is no write priviledge: (I'm not sure where the log actually starts for this attempt but will include a few lines showing the Write=no- (Samba logs are basically unintelligable far as I can tell)) The line of note is marked off with asterisks and I've included one before and after. Following the write info line, and dozens of lines further along we finally see the denial, also marked off with asterisks. I've opened a text file named AlienSkin.txt and attempted to alter its contents using a winxp editor and working from a winxp box. Can anyone here tell me what might be causing the write failure?

Re: [gentoo-user] Greylisting vs. reject_rbl_client
Grant wrote: I'd be careful with non_fqdn_hostname What's wrong with that? Here's how the postfix docs describe it: reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname (with Postfix 2.3: reject_non_fqdn_hostname) Reject the request when the HELO or EHLO hostname is not in fully-qualified domain form, as required by the RFC. Nothing is wrong with it, but that tends to be the one that bounces the most mail erroneously at least for me. In a perfect world there would be no problem with it, but in reality we have MS 2003 boxes reporting themselves as 2003WS-01 without a FQDN when they attempt to relay. smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_destination, permit That's pretty much what I run and you might want to look at smtpd_data_restrictions as well. What do you use with smtpd_data_restrictions? I was considering reject_unauth_pipelining but the docs have me confused with the Note below: reject_unauth_pipelining Reject the request when the client sends SMTP commands ahead of time where it is not allowed, or when the client sends SMTP commands ahead of time without knowing that Postfix actually supports ESMTP command pipelining. This stops mail from bulk mail software that improperly uses ESMTP command pipelining in order to speed up deliveries. Note: reject_unauth_pipelining is not useful outside smtpd_data_restrictions when 1) the client uses ESMTP (EHLO instead of HELO) and 2) with smtpd_delay_reject = yes (the default). The use of reject_unauth_pipelining in the other restriction contexts is therefore not recommended. er hmmm, I'm still using Postfix 2.2 which doesn't have all the neat 2.3 stuff yet. In 2.2 you'd put pipelining under smtpd recipient restrictions, but it appears that would cause some issues in 2.3 though just setting it under data restrictions would work fine if I'm reading it right. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Greylisting vs. reject_rbl_client
I think the thing you have to keep in mind is how strict you want to be. I am in control of mail servers for three different organizations, my personal email, my consulting side business, and the real estate company I work full time for. Each one has a varying degree of how acceptable false positives are. For my personal email, I use the following settings: smtpd_delay_reject = yessmtpd_helo_required = yessmtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_invalid_hostname, permitsmtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client relays.ordb.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org , reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client dnsbl.njabl.org, check_policy_service inet: 127.0.0.1:6 permitThe check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:6 is for postgrey, a greylisting service. Personally, I hate spam so much, I would rather block my own mother's emails than get spam. The checks above with postgrey have brought me from about 15-20 spam a day to 0 since I have had them in effect. On the otherhand, for the real estate company I work for, some of these options are not acceptable. Postgrey is not acceptable since many of our users expect email to be instant I know there is no technical guarantee of this, but they get upset no matter what if their emails take too long. Using postgrey on my own personal server, I make it delay for 5 minutes. Most mail servers will keep trying and I will get the message within 10-15 minutes max. I have had a few times, though, that the mail took 4 or 5 hours before it was tried again. A solution I use for this for my consulting business is to whitelist all of my clients domains. With the real estate company, however, there are too many different users working with too many different and new companies to try and whitelist them all. I actually do keep the rbls for all installations. I completely understand and agree with the previous posters frustration with rbls. I have had the same trouble myself. I have had our company be on spamhaus and spamcop and different times in the last couple of years. It usually is a headache, but in general, they are more good than harm. At the real estate company, I have about 200 users that I can assure you would let me hear about it very quickly if they were not getting their messages. So far, I have not had any complaints using the rbls above. Anyway, as I said before, you just have to find the proper balance for your situation. If you or your company cannot afford to lose even one email, it is probably best to put in very limited checks and use client-side filtering with Junk mailboxes. If speed of delivery is important, greylisting is not a good option. If you just want to stop the spam and it isn't the end of the world if you lose a possibly legitimate mail, then try out my settings above.

[gentoo-user] default compile options / USE flags?
Hi, I would like to find how a certain package would be compiled (with which USE-flags) if I did not have any USE-flags in /etc/make.conf, and empty /etc/portage/package.use Up to now I'm using this procedure: - comment USE-line in /etc/make.conf out, - rename /etc/portage/package.use to some other name, - run emerge --pretend --verbose package - check output (that is what I am interested in) - and restore make.conf and package.use But is there some other, probably cleaner solution?

[gentoo-user] OT friendly cellphone w/ Gentoo?
Hello, I live in Florida, so we have quite a lot of cell phone companies to choose from. I get to order a new phone and new service. Most importantly, I'm looking for a cell phone that exchanges data with a gentoo laptop, easily (kmobiletools) or some other kde gui based app. Then I'd like the option for wireless internet connectivity (flat rate). or the ability to use the ppp+cell phone for access thru my firewalled static IP connection. Any recommendations? I do like the usb port on a motorola razr, but, I not sure mot-cell phones are friendly with linux/gentoo... One of my co-workers (windoz user) just got a razr and it get's reception where my krufty-LG does not, both using Alltel. I like alltel and have an unlimited access plan in a small geographic area (basically 4 counties in Florida) so Alltel and a ???.cellphone would be keen. But, I can switch to a new cell phone company, if something really works good with Gentoo(KDE) as we are shuffling cell phones around the company this weekend.. Verizon does have a suposedly 300+ kbps wireless net access plan in Florida, but, I'm not sure if you can get a flat rate price on that. Paying metered feeds for wireless access via a cell phone, is not an option (we're a small company).

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 2006.0 and udev
I have mine set to no and it is full of stuff. According to Konqueror it has 654 files and 13 folders. Is that right? That is a lot of stuff. I think it is. After setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no and removing everything except /dev/console and /dev/null by using the gentoo live-cd, the number of my devices decreased to 850 from formerly 5200. A note for everybody who uses gensplash and splashutils. After i deleted the device files and rebooted the silent mode refused to work. So i decided to reemerge splashutils. But this is not necessary. After installing, the ebuild checks for missing devices, which was in my case /dev/tty1. Here is the output from emerge which solved my problem! It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working properly. You can fix the problem by doing: mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp mknod /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1 umount /lib/splash/tmp I hope this helps to avoid confusion!

What are the permissions on ~user/.Xauthority Other than that, I know exactly nothing about xfce4, but maybe this problem is coming from the startxfce4 script... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

One of my co-workers (windoz user) just got a razr and it get's reception where my krufty-LG does not, both using Alltel. I bought a Razr last year, it works with the CVS (or is it SVN?) version of kmobiletools, but not so well with the release in portage. I notice there's now a 0.5 beta in portage, masked. I'll give that a try this weekend, it should work as it's later than the CVS version I have. well, I got my new razr today - and I am not too happy. Compared with my old Sony Ericson, bluetooth is crippled and everything seems to be a lot more complicated. While it is easy to put files onto the phone or fetch them with kdebluetooth with the SE, it seems not to be even possible with the razr. KDEbluetooth finds the Razr without any problems, just select Find device in the Razr's menu and click the bluetooth icon in the panel. yeah, it finds it. But it does not 'find' any services, like obex file transfer and others. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

After setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL to no and removing everything except /dev/console and /dev/null by using the gentoo live-cd, the number of my devices decreased to 850 from formerly 5200. A note for everybody who uses gensplash and splashutils. After i deleted the device files and rebooted the silent mode refused to work. So i decided to reemerge splashutils. But this is not necessary. After installing, the ebuild checks for missing devices, which was in my case /dev/tty1. Here is the output from emerge which solved my problem! It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working properly. You can fix the problem by doing: mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp mknod /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1 umount /lib/splash/tmp I hope this helps to avoid confusion! Daniel So doing a rm -rf /dev/* would be a bad idea? Can I just move them and then copy them back? Or is what I have normal number wise? Full of questions ain't I?

[gentoo-user] File replication
Hi folks, I'm prepared using an USB enclosure for data stroage. I'm searching a tool/method whenever I save a file on /home/user a duplicate copy will be saved automatically on /mnt/point/of/usb_enclosure/home/user simultaneously, similar to replication/mirroring. Thus the USB enclosure can be used as a mobile storage device and can be plugged in on any Linux PC. Please advise. TIA B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] 2006.1 released soon?
Hello, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/release/2006.1/2006.1.xml seems to indicated that 2006.1 will be available VERY soon. Any ideas How I can remotely status the download servers to see when this hits the first servers? I'm really itching to test out the 2006.1 liveCD installation on a couple of machines ideas? --patience is a virtue, I wish I had. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

While it is easy to put files onto the phone or fetch them with kdebluetooth with the SE, it seems not to be even possible with the razr. :( also, the razr does not support EDGE, so its networking is kinda slow compared to phones with it. With my RAZR, I can sync phonebooks via bluetooth or usb, but this is crippled in only name+number is synced - i.e., no additional attributes such as home/work/mobile is sync'ed. I am able to download photos/movies from the phone with either bluetooth or usb. I can upload files with usb but there is something weird with it. For example if I upload a mp3 file, then tell the phone to use it as a ring tone, it doesn't. I can upload files fine with bluetooth, including mp3 to ringtone. I couldn't make heads or tails of the Konnector stuff. Overall I'd score the RAZR about 5 on a 10 point scale. I'd score the linux support about 5 too, the parts are there, the setup is difficult, the UI elements are clunky.
