Re: [gentoo-user] NTP: ntp-client doesn't start
Christopher Kern wrote: Hope this helps... When investigating this myself, I found that I needed to set up a link to the service in /etc/init.d with this command as the root user: cd /etc/runlevels/default ln -s /etc/init.d/ntp-client . (no quotes, of course) This works fine at boot, as the service start is indicated in the boot display, and the time is indeed set to the correct time once executed at boot time. I also found that one can alter the timeout for this service by changing the NTPCLIENT_TIMEOUT variable in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client file so that it is whatever you'd like it to be. The default setting was 30 seconds, but I thought a shorter time would have been better, especially at boot time. Contents of /etc/conf.d/ntp-client: # /etc/conf.d/ntp-client Look here.. # Command to run to set the clock initially ntp-client is meant to be a one time thing. # Most people should just leave this line alone ... # however, if you know what you're doing, and you # want to use ntpd to set the clock, change this to 'ntpd' NTPCLIENT_CMD=ntpdate Ntpdate was a simple utility meant to be run as a cron job, but now is mostly depreciated in favor of using ntpd/openntpd. The full daemons are not the resource hogs they used to be, and are much better at handling clock skew. They keep track of the skew, so they only do a correction as often as needed. Using a daemon also helps keep the other ntp servers from getting pounded at certain points of the day by people who use cron jobs, which strains their resouces and makes it harder for you to get accurate info. You're a little better than most since you are doing daily syncs and not hourly or 4x a day, but do you have any idea how many people set up syncs at midnight? Use a daemon, it'll do a better job keeping your system in sync and be much nicer on all the ntp servers you're syncing against.

I've never heard about a free registrar. AFAIK all of them are commercial. It's pretty much the way it is, so discussing choices for registrar, so that one can provide their own complete delegations of authority under a domain name, is worth paying for. I do not think discussing this on a list such as this is a bad idea. After all my primary name server will be a stripped down gentoo server, running iptables, either hardened or selinux with either Bind or DJBDNS. The fact that a few dollars has to change hands does not make the topic, evil, or undesirable, does it? However if we talk about a free service provider I hope it won't be a problem, so I would propose you to try the DNS service provided by http://www.everydns.net/ . It is free and if you don't like it you could just replace it with another one which would serve you better. This is an interesting option, but, one where I do not control 100% of the DNS config files, is not going to work for my needs. Still, what you metion is of curiosity. If you also need reverse resolving then you have to ask your ISP to put your domain name in their DNS. That's not likely to be an option with most of the ISPs I've ever used. They what to controls the dns config files and point to an ip address with services as they see fit. Disfunctional, at best. I have no connection nor relation with EveryDNS.net other than I'm using their free DNS service and I'm pleased with it. Your connection, or lack thereof to the entity is of minute concern to me. I'd be very happy if a network admin at a registrar was on this list can could articulate why their dns services are robust, particularly using gentoo based machines. thanks for the link, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hello Preston et al, Your chosen service (afraid.org) combined with the others: (zoneedit everydns) look interesting. However, what I'm looking for is a registrar like: http://www.goaustraliadomains.com/ that is inexpensive (8.95/yr) and will point (100%) authority to my primary name server, at my static IP address. What I would like is a server that provides secondary service(resolution) while allowing me to run the primary server on my single static IP. Often folks exchange secondary services, agreeing to security semantics that preclude nefarious activities such as spamming, dos, etc etc. I understand in this day and age, folks have security concerns with that sort of arrangement(unless they agree on the security semantics) but it is preferred and allows me to run my own dns config files and maintain authority. Merely pointing resource records and such in a config file on a server that somebody else controls, is not really what I'm looking for. Maybe I'm being too idealistic here, but, this goes to the very heart of what I consider 'community'; community is a fundamental tenant of the Internet, methinks. Surely this is not so difficult to find other like minded technical folks that share/provide secondary dns resolution for others? Surely we there is a wiki or one can be developed where folks follow to provide secure secondary dns services for one another? If an unfair 'bandwidth' arrangement become apparent, I believe we have the necessary (QOS) technology (iptables/netfilter) to limit the bandwidth consumed by a secondary name service one provides for another. If the more technical folks to not share such solutions with the youth of the internet, folks will grow up thinking that haveing your own dns means somebody else points resource records to your server, and precludes the masses from experiencing the power of running their own dns services. Sure the root authority is still needed, but robust, multifaceted dns services are a quinessential tool for the future of the internet. It's been a few years since I've set up primary and secondary DNS services, but, surely the rfc's (1033 -1035) are still followed? Most of the newer(proposed) rfc's related to DNS do not look appealing to me; but, I have not studied them in depth to certify that sort of conclusion. I wonder why the various 'dns services' offered either for free or for a fee, do not mention which rfc's they are in compliance with? Are there any readers of this list that still provide their own primary/secondary dns services? Or offer secondary services to others for a fee or free?

[gentoo-user] X starting in 640x480 only
Hi, when I rebooted my PC yesterday my X did not come up (I made an error with etc-update after the resent baselayout upgrade and removed the DISPLYMANAGER setting). After fixing that my X came up, but only at 640x480. During the last days I did not change anything connected to X on my system and rebooted it several times without problems. I am running a x86 system with Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller and 99% stable packages including Xorg 7.1 (the unstable ones are apps, nothing with X). It ran totally fine until yesterday. I tried a lot, remerged X and experimented with settings. I am still not sure what the problem is. There are some things that strike me: In the Xorg log I find: (WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 13409 pages failed several occurences of that with different page counts . And this one: (II) I810(0): Not using mode 1280x1024 (no mode of this name) (II) I810(0): Not using mode 1024x768 (no mode of this name) (II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 - 1024). (--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024) (**) I810(0): Built-in mode 640x480 Any idea what the problem is? Thanks. Christian -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you look at the configure script you will see that it's is testing if you

your problem. Line 153 which appears to be failing is this:
echo ARCH=${TARGET_ARCH/i?86/i386} make_include

make_include as ARCH=i386. I have no clue why that would fail. The only
thing that I can think of is to remerge your shell (probably
app-shells/bash). If noone else has a clue and that doesn't help I guess your

There are several ways to get rid of them. The simplest way is to install fail2ban and it will create firewall rules. The next less-simple way is to change the port sshd listens on. The scripts assume the default of 22. The best way is to change the port sshd listens on, and also move to key based authentication, and disable password based authentication. In this way, even if they got the port, got a real user name, and had the right password, it would not matter -- They haven't got the key. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: Mini Gentoo in VMWare
I use a Gentoo VM for a lot of LAMP dev work, and I can tell you it's kind of painful to upgrade packages with all the compiling. VMWare is slower than normal to compile, mostly due to disk I/O. Since each HD is a big-ass file. A few optimizations I might suggest: Partition a dedicated physical hard drive into chunks and use VMWare's raw disk so you have real hardware/hard disks. I'd suggest a very fast SCSI drive for the best performance since you're running several VMs. Also, look into the VMWare server version which uses the raw iron a bit better as it's dedicated to running many VMs. I find that more RAM on VMWare has a point of deminishing returns. I have a VM that I dedicate 512MB of my 2GBs and honestly it feels slower than when I give it 128-256MB only. It may be a WinXP thing that it's not efficiently using the RAM right or something. -Original Message- From: Trenton Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2006 9:19 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Mini Gentoo in VMWare Yes, VMWare is fit for the task, simply because I would be using it on a windows machine.

I googled for it and found some info that the way to avoid this is to turn off AIGLX: Section ServerFlags OptionAIGLX off EndSection The link I am looking at now (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1697767) also suggests: Section Extensions OptionComposite 0 EndSection to disable composite extension... Well, I put those info my xorg and nothing happened at all... Unless there is some really basic error I missed, it just doesnt work for me... You are welcome to try these.
