Yes, you can insert headers before you send the message, but the SMTP
server which receives the message for local delivery always has the
final word. In this case pigeon.gentoo.org has added its headers to the
"proof of concept" message and we can see that the mail "from [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
was actually sent from elsewhere.


Glad to hear you didn't mind, Daniel.
Yes, you traced me correctly. And as Rob already noticed, that could be 
circumvented by spoofing the header a little more. Also you were correct to 
notice, that the receiving server has the last word - however many servers today 
do -not- perform reverse DNS lookups. You can basically put into the EHLO 
message whatever you want and the receiving server will buy it.


So with some effort we could make it look as if the message was actually 
received from fg-out-1718.google.com. At least as long as pidgeon.gentoo.org 
doesn't do reverse DNS lookups, which frankly I didn't check. :)

Except that even that can be faked.

The header is part of the payload, so can be whatever the user decides
to put in, simply fake some a set of relay lines, and how do you know?

It is correct that this is not intentional (it does seem antique).  I

have


configured .mybashrc to set my LANG to "en_US", but nothing beyond

can

correct this on gentoo?

What have you set up in your /etc/locale.gen ?

I won't take credit for setting this up, because I don't think I did.  On
the other hand,
I've had occasion to internationalize a web page to dutch and polish,

which

appear
in the list.  So I dunno where it came from.

But here's what's there:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15
#it_IT ISO-8859-1
pl_PL ISO-8859-15

This looks fine.  If when you run $ locale you get a list with LANG=en_US
but
further down LC_ALL=   (blank), then set export LC_ALL=xxx in your .bashrc
to
whatever you want your locale set to.



Halfway there.  I did that, and now "locale" looks like

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=en_US
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

However, when I start k3b from the KDE menus, it still complains.

On the other hand, if I start k3b from the shell that gives the "locale"
results above,
it starts clean.  So the issue seems to be that I need to inform KDE about
the
locale.

I did a fresh boot, and that did not help, so I wonder if .mybashrc is the
correct
place to do this.



try /etc/env.d/02locale

LANG="en_US"
LC_ALL="en_US"

For details take a look at the localisation guide.

Not really, because that only applies to bash. I have my locale settings
in /etc/env.d/02locale - run env-update after editing it.

Always one more gotcha :-)

Now that the b2 is out for x86_64 I guess it's worth
a shot... that or building a bootable with the stock
minimal CD and an updated kernel.

Q: Have you ever tried assembling a new minimal CD?

Seems like it wouldn't be all that difficult, just a
matter of grafting the new kernel into place and burning
it.

[gentoo-user] Setting up a second Adapted drive controller (fails)

2008-05-29 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
I bought an Adaptec SATA controller to add some backups to a system that
already had an Adaptec SCSI controller.  They're both recognized as AIC7xxx,
but the second one is somehow blocked.

I can access the on-controller configuration stuff during BIOS startup, and
the
drives appear good.  I just cannot get things working with the Linux kernel.

I think this is the relevant part of dmesg output.  Notice the message about
"Unable to reserve mem region".  In case I'm wrong, I've attached the whole
thing too.

I won't take credit for setting this up, because I don't think I did.  On
the other hand,
I've had occasion to internationalize a web page to dutch and polish, which
appear
in the list.  So I dunno where it came from.

But here's what's there:

# /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system
#
# The format of each line:
#  
#
# Where  is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and
# where  is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/.
#
# All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
#
# For the default list of supported combinations, see the file:
# /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
#
# Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically
# rebuilt for you.  After updating this file, you can simply run
`locale-gen`
# yourself instead of re-emerging glibc.

What have you set up in your /etc/locale.gen ?

I'd support a ban in either that case (you pretending to be more than
one poster) or the other (another poster pretending to be you).  But in
neither case do the signatures give us any more information than we
would otherwise have had about whether there's an imposter or not.

Yes. You need to compile the drivers for your hard disc, hard disc controller 
and root filesystem into the kernel, not as modules. Otherwise the kernel 
can't access the hardware to load the drivers it needs.

AFAIK, KDE4 < 4.1 has severe problems with xinerama. Can't confirm 
this myself because I don't use xinerama but have read about it on 
KDE mailing lists.

[gentoo-user] Wireless problem

2008-05-29 Thread Rev. Ferris
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi!
I have a wireless problem.
I bought yesterday a Zyxel G202 USB stick and I attack it of my 
workstation.
This hardware is supported from zd1211rw driver.
I set all parameters of my network and I started it.
It works fine, pretty signal quality, good speed, etc.
After some "quiet" time, from my network monitor I noticed a lost in the 
connection.
Now, if I restart the connection it works fine, but after a X time it 
disconnects again.
I don't find any message on dmesg or /var/log/messages and for that 
reason I have no idea how I can solve the problem. I think it is 
something correlates with energy management.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Luigi

[gentoo-user] Firefox lock me out of my X session and X get 100% cpu usage

2008-05-29 Thread Claudinei Matos
Hi guys,

I'm having a weird problem here. I do have an amd64 install of gentoo with
KDE 4.
Well my problem is that sometimes (once or more per day)  when using Firefox
I do
 click in some link or try to scroll down/up the scrollbar my system
freezes.
When this happen I have to remotely login via ssh and do  'kill -9 X' which
in this case
is consuming  around 100% of cpu usage.

I've already updated both kde and firefox and even tried to disable/enable
render acceleration on xorg
but nothing seems to help.

I'm using  Xinerama (nvidia + sis video boards) but this is a old install
(around 1 year) and
my problem just started  after I've migrated to kde4.

Do somebody have any  clue?

Thanks for the help,

[gentoo-user] K3b complains about my locale

2008-05-29 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
When I crank up K3b, it complains about my setup, with the message

"System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames)
is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done
intentionally.
Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will
result in problems when creating data projects.
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_*
environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take
care of this."

It is correct that this is not intentional (it does seem antique).  I have
configured .mybashrc to set my LANG to "en_US", but nothing beyond that.
What "distribution setup tools" is it referring to, so that I can correct
this on gentoo?

[gentoo-user] Message bus mis-configured

2008-05-29 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
When I use some KDE tools, most recently Konqueror, I get symptoms of a
mis-configuration which I think is dbus-related.
I've never fooled with it as far as I can remember, and I know nothing about
it.  So I'm hoping there's an easy cure.

The recent thing: opening a Konqeror windows for a freshly-mounted CDROM on
a freshly-rebooted system: a dialog box
claiming:
"A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message
to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had
interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name
"(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

Any ideas?

Well i stuck strace on all the samba related binaries and found that it
was dumping just after reading /usr/lib/gconv/IBM850.so so I tried an
update of glibc and that seems to have fixed it. Strange that portage
didn't pull the latest glibc in as a dependancy.

you are using reiser4?

Replace

with
fsck_args=${fsck_args--A -a}

and complain on bugzilla because of that stupid thing.

You need an initrd as well and I did not see one in your grub stanza
-- if you generated one, put it in /boot and in the stanza, otherwise
be sure to generate one using genkernel.

The driver for the root filesystem must be built into the kernel (not 
as a module) unless you use an initramfs that loads the modul before 
the kernel/init take over.

[gentoo-user] Cups 1.3.7 retards

2008-05-29 Thread Bertram Scharpf
Hi,


since an upgrade to CUPS 1.3.7, on a large amount of
print jobs, the printer pauses after every three pages.

I detected that the backend for each job gets started
every 5 seconds:

  # grep Started /var/log/cups/error_log
  I [27/May/2008:18:25:10 +0200] [Job 51243] Started backend ...
  I [27/May/2008:18:25:15 +0200] [Job 51244] Started backend ...

  I [27/May/2008:18:25:25 +0200] [Job 51246] Started backend ...
  ...

I am sure the job does not take the full 5 seconds to be sent.

I cannot find the configuration parameter where this interval
could be shortened. Could anyone give me a hint?

Thanks in advance,

Bertram

Come ooon! :)
The whole bet thing was of course a joke.
What I had in mind is that you'd have to hack Gmail which I believe
won't classify as "relatively easy". Not to mention that even just
for "proof of concept" this would be illegal, so I'd never expect you
to do it.

Alright, the most important thing in this discussion appears that we
all agree that signing mails to ML or not, either way there's no harm.
So, I think we'd better stop at this point and let it go.

Agreed?

Just in case, you'll also need proper permissions for /mnt/rescue/lib and 
libraries inside there. Bash dinamically loads libraries, so the user 
running it must have execution perms over invoked libraries.

That puzzled me for two weeks till I finally fixed it last saturday :-P

We need the top most error to see what actually happened. It should be

Does that mean you do not even want it? emerge -Ca superkaramba should 
remove it then, and unless emerge -uDNa world does not put it back in 
(which I doubt), emerge --depclean should work.

But show us the error first, maybe we can give a real solution then.

OK, I can't bring myself a "proof of concept". I'm not a evil hacker.
But I said "relatively easy", I meant that if you have your own server
running (with for example sendmail) and enough criminal energy, know
how, I'm pretty sure that it's possible. And I'm also pretty sure that
my thinking is much to complicated. Because e-mail abuse is not new and
your "proof of concept" is probably since a long time ago produced. ;-)

That would mean that "Wolf Canis" is a bad boy and would have more
than one signature, one for normal use and one or more for evil use.
OK, if it's that what you mean, I understand it that way, then you

different signatures then it would be at least questionable and
would probably lead to a ban, I think.
