Well, went ahead and finished --depclean.  No more packages to remove

Possibly check the wxwindows and skins USE flags?

I know if you build vlc w/o the wxwindows flag you get no gui.

[gentoo-user] Re: kernel compilation

[Marc Blumentritt]

Hi all,

Thanks for all these comments. I was thinking about a monolithic kernel,
because I'm placing my whole root fs into initramfs of the kernel image
and did not want to hassle with /lib/modules during kernel building.
Then I realized, that I still need this, because I need lirc. And now I
realized, that I don't need a monolithic kernel anymore, because I found
a solution to import /lib/modules into the initramfs by building the
kernel image again. So I will do a kernel as Dan suggested with
important stuff build in and other stuff loaded as module. But since I
stripped down my kernel, there are only a few things I will build as
modules.

Thanks
Marc

I'd go further than that, I would be more specific regarding the way in which 
that user violated the policy:  e.g. used company IT equipment to 
access 'such & such' type of website in company time.  In my company, 'social 
networking websites' like myface, youtube and what not, are out of bounds. 
Ditto for ebay - employees were spending far too much time browsing deals on 
ebay.

Also, what are the implications of violating the policy - speak to your HR 
department first and reiterate these in the same message; e.g. porn may be 
instant dismissal, but ebay may just result in a disciplinary hearing.  Then 
check that (s)he (and others) don't just use anonymouse to get to their 
preferred websites . . .

Sure, but *software* diagnostics (testdisk) should do what the OP wants.  
Creating a drive/partition image and mounting on another machine using 
loopback will work fine (I have done it myself a number of times).  Recovery 
may be less effective if the original disk are has been overwritten by newer 
data.

And while many *see* it as a performance enhancement, in reality it is 
little more than another ricer fantasy - on the same order as "-O9" in 
your CFLAGS.

Kernel modules are essentially self-modifying code that plugs itself 
into a running kernel to give the same code as if the module were 
actually monolithic. Performance increase = zero.

I think most people do this in order to secure the kernel/userland
border. But nowadays, good rootkits are not dependent on module loading
facilities but rather put direct hooks on memory addresses they can
detect reliably.

FYI, although this is somewhat popular and seen as a performance
enhancement to many, it all it really ends up meaning that you have to
reboot the computer to control the parameters of various parts of the
kernel (kernel / module parameters are often equivelent).  

It also means you have all functionality all the time.  This can be
good if it's to prevent initrd usage, as desired, but can also mean a
bigger memory footprint for stuff you never use.  

I mention this because I was always a big 'monolithic' fan in the past,
but have found the middle ground to be better.  Compile in what you use
all the time, and leave modularized that which you don't.

[gentoo-user] [OT] UNIX authentication against AD

[pat]

Hello,

Sorry for of-topic post, but I think this place is full of people who knows :-)

My question is about authentication of UNIX like system (Linux, Solaris, AIX,
HP-UX, etc.) against MS Active Directory.

Scenario:
UNIX is set up to authenticate against AD, so the user has same login into
UNIX systems and windows systems.

My guess is to setup UNIX to authenticate using kerberos, where kerberos
provider should be the AD.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot.

You won't get HTTPS traffic without spoofing certificates, which might
not get trough unnoticed. But HTTP is just plain text, so probably you
can just run

$ tcpdump -w - -i ethN -s 1600 port 80 and src 192.168.your.enemy | tee 
fulldump | strings

for one or two days and be done with it. Note that the traffic you're
interested in the most is outgoing traffic (HTTP POST) if you're
looking for offensive communication originating from that user.

Of course, all of this is probably illegal if that user hasn't agreed
on monitoring measures (which means you'll probably not be able to use
it as a proof before court) -- and even that might be prevented by
local law.

Also have a look at the dsniff package, especially at urlsnarf. But
this would just give you the URLs...

Hello Helmut,

maybe that www-client/epiphany is a dependency after a package update (e.g.
version 1.0 of package X requires package y, but version 0.9 of X does
not). Another reason can be the USE-flags. May when you have been building
a packge you temporarily disabled an USE-flag (USE="-flag-to-disable"
emerge x), which is in your make.conf and activates an optional dependency
(in this www-client/epiphany, epiphany requires a newer version of
www-client/firefox and so on).
Hopefully this helped you a bit.

Hm, did you try running w/ "-t" in order to see if something's trying
to pull in epiphany? Maybe some stale old binary packages w/ old
dependencies?

[gentoo-user] emerge update problem

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

on one of my machines 
emerge --update --deep --ask world
is claiming

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies  . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . 
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5" have been 
masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.2 (masked by: package.mask)
- www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.7 (masked by: package.mask)
- www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.6 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "www-client/epiphany-2.18.3" [ebuild])

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

BUT  www-client/epiphany  is no more installed on that machine.
What can I do about this?

Many thanks for a hint,

I was under the impression that the modules_install target will include
the all target? So it should work, and do the "make" automatically, I
think...

Hi all
to-day I successfully updated Xorg (from 6.x to 7.x).
A little trouble only; on boot I receive the following error message:

Setting up kdm . . .
start-stop-daemon: option `--exec' requires an argument
Try `start-stop-daemon --help' for more information
*ERROR: could not start the Display Manager

Well, I tried `start-stop-daemon --help' but I did not understand much.
So I ran 'kdm' from command line and . . . KDE works!

How can I make kdm start on boot again?



Does this give anyy output? It should give /usr/kde/3.5/bin/kdm.
  . /lib/rcscripts/sh/rc-services.sh
  get_options service xdm
  

The output is nothing.

But if I run

cat /var/lib/init.d/options/xdm/service
the output is: /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kdm (yes, I should upgrade kde)

/var/lib/init.d/options/xdm/pidfile and
/var/lib/init.d/options/xdm/name are empty
In /etc/X11/startDM.sh, in line 22, this is being used to determine what to 
start with `start-stop-daemon --exec ${EXEC} a few lines later:

  EXEC="$(get_options service)"

I think you get empty output, so EXEC is empty, and start-stop-daemon 
complains about a missing argument.


get_options reads the file /var/lib/init.d/options/xdm/service, if existing. 
It should be created by the correspnding save_options routine 
in /etc/init.d/xdm. Maybe you could add a

  set -xv
before the
  save_options "service" "${EXE}"
  

Here is the output:

+++ save_options name ''
+++ local myopts=name
+++ shift
+++ '[' '!' -d /var/lib/init.d/options/xdm ']'
+++ mkdir -p -m 0755 /var/lib/init.d/options/xdm

line in order to get useful debug output. After a quick look, I do not see

If nothing in the config file is marked 'M' (module)
you don't need to run this.
But to be sure, just run it - it's extremely fast.

[gentoo-user] kernel compilation

[Marc Blumentritt]

Hi,

two questions:

1.) I want to build a kernel, which is nearly monolithic. Everything,
which can be build inside of kernel is built inside of kernel. But I
also need some external modules (lirc). Do I have to run

make modules_install

if I do not build any modules but use external modules like lirc?

2.) If I have to run "make modules_install", can I do this before I run
"make" to compile the kernel image?

Regards,
Marc

You did see this juicy little tidbit of information right?

Apparently, you don't, can't and shouldn't.

Well, I guess it was blocked with reason:

"mondo tries to find the system sensors by using /proc/sys/dev/sensors/ 
chips.  Which is not available with kernel 2.6. Disabling the check in /
etc/init.d/mondo results in a segmentation fault :-( In the mondo forum
(see link) there is a small hack that can be used as workaround, but i 
think mondo should be blocked, for kernel 2.6 because the hack is not 
really good (only one sensors is supported, for which you need to know 
the ID)."




But would the new ebuild work?

Actually it does.
Updated packages can be a deep dependency, so try emerge --update --deep -a
world

They  are not removed automatically, but can't be used in with kernel.

[gentoo-user] portage usage problems

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have two tiny problems in using portage.

- How can I get a list of all packages for which there is a newer
  version.
  emerge --update world doesn't work since it doesn't respect my
  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" setting, i.e. it doesn't show new
  packages if they are "masked" by the "~x86" keyword.

- Whenever I install a new kernel I have to reinstall all those packages
  which generate a kernel module, e.g. nvidia-drivers, openafs-kernel
  or virtualbox-modules.
  When emerge has installed the kernel module in
  /lib/modules//...
  it removes the corresponding module in
  /lib/modules/
  Since I want a fall back possibility I'd like to tell emerge
  not to remove the modules for the .
  How can this be done?

Many thanks for a hint,
