Ok, then Willie's command will work just fine, provided that *ssh* connections to port 443 or 80 of your router work (and of course, that your router can in turn reach the mail server on the necessary ports). ssh -p 443 -L 1234:mail.server:25 -L 5678:mail.server:110 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would open ports 1234 and 5678 on localhost for sending and receiving mail respectively. If your mail server uses SSL, the use the corresponding ports (995 and/or 587 or whatever). What you send to port 1234 on localhost will be forwarded by ssh to your router, and the router will forward the data to the mail server, port 25. The same for port 5678. Note that the connection between your computer and the router is through ssh, to port 443 of the router. This is the only connection you'll pass through the firewall, and through which all the forwarded ports will flow. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

In the kernel (I use > gentoo sources) configuration enable Yes, I do frequency scaling (the ondemand governor is used when the laptop is unplugged). I also use laptop-mode for the hd and pommed to tune screen brightness. I think the problems are the wireless and the video drivers. The new Macbook Pro wireless drivers (I bought my machine in late October 2007, just when Leopard came out -although, well, I found myself almost never using it) required SVN version of madwifi (dunno if now the stable version works, will check when upgrading kernel), and so far attempting to set power saving on my wireless card fails. The Macbook Pro also has a nvidia video card. The nvidia drivers work quite well (apart from some issues with external dvi resolution), but as far as I know, on it the "Powermizer" feature is somehow disabled. :( I guess both things combined can explain at least a significant quantity of the power drain. Suggestions are much welcome, I hate the reduced battery power. m. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

In the kernel (I use gentoo sources) configuration enable Power Management - CPU frequency scaling - performance (is selected as default) - ondemand governor - conservative - ACPI Processor P-States driver - Intel Enhanced SpeedStep This enables frequency scaling... this works for my Core2 desktop so I suspect it should work for the mac book too. To select the actual cpu scaling governor to use, you can do the following (as root) echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu(n)/cpufreq/scaling_governor where you need to this for all the cores... for my Core 2 desktop I have cpu0 and cpu1. You can select between ondemand, conservative and performance. Try both ondemand and conservative... My guess is there will be little difference in power consumption between the two and ondemand may be better for response time sensitive loads (typical desktop usage). I keep the above command in /etc/conf.d/local.start so that I get the CPU freq scaling goodness on every boot :) # /etc/conf.d/local.start # This is a good place to load any misc programs # on startup (use &>/dev/null to hide output) gov=ondemand echo "Switching to the '$gov' cpu frequency scaling governer." echo $gov > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo $gov > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor _r

Are you sure? Not so much anymore... One of the admins at work is having similar troubles with a machine not updated for a while. I didn't go through this on my notebook which is updated weekly, so perhaps I hit an ideal window of opportunity between commits. Let's look at this in more detail: You have portage-2.1.2.2 and want to upgrade to 2.1.4.4 You have bash-3.1_p17 and want to upgrade to 3.2_33 bash-3.1_p17 has no DEPEND blockers bash-3.2-p17-r1 has no DEPEND blockers bash-3.2_p33 blocks =app-shells/bash-3.1_p17 portage-2.1.3.19 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 portage-2.1.4.4 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 Ignore the conditional blocker from portage as you should not have build in USE. Now aside from what on earth certain versions of portage have to do with certain versions of bash... try this: emerge bash-3.2-p17-r1 emerge portage emerge bash > I just installed 2007.0 and set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86.
