Heya, I faced rather the same problem and solved it as follows: I provided a CNAME record within my zone (being served on my public inet host) that points to a dyndns record. This gets updated regulary using ddclient then Well, this is still a solution that *depends* on services like dyndns, but the other solution would be in enabling the mysql useflag, and writing a cgi script - that could be invoked via wget for example - that updates teh mySQL records within your own controlled zone; (but I didn't find the time to write this yet) Regards, Christian Parpart. -- 19:54:35 up 139 days, 9:02, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.16, 0.12 pgpYuNgBpoyzf.pgp Description: PGP signature

This confused me the first time I wanted to growfs my /home; However, it has been a little bit funny aswell, as ext3 (originally) only supported offline growings. However, I once have (accidently!) thrown down one harddrive of mine from within 60cm distance down while moving to a new tower/rac; I were nearly crying about, but before, I quickly invoked fsck.xfs on my LVM (which this disk is part of) and *really* got confused. fsck.xfs is really a no-op. I couldn't figure out yet why. I can now just pray that everything seems to go just well (as it does till now ;) Regards, Christian Parpart. -- 20:26:55 up 139 days, 9:34, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.08 pgp0D64HBGyJH.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] A Call for Testers [apache, mod_php, subversion, ...]
Hi all, We (the gentoo apache team) is about to go stable. That is, marking current testing-marked ebuilds as stable. This time, it's not just another revision number changed, it's totally different behind. So, please take this serious. If you test any of the below ebuilds, please give us feedback, we rely on you. The following base ebuilds are to test: * =net-www/apache-2.0.53 * =net-www/apache-1.3.33-r1 * =dev-php/mod_php-4.3.10-r1 * =dev-util/subversion-1.1.4-r1 The following ebuilds are new depencdencies and of HIGH priority: * =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r1 * =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.6 If you feel lucky (and we bed you are) test this one: * =dev-libs/apr-0.9.6-r2 The following apache modules needs serious testing: * mod_auth_external * mod_auth_kerb * mod_auth_ldap * mod_auth_mysql * mod_auth_pam * mod_auth_pgsql * mod_backhand * mod_bandwidth * mod_bw * mod_bwshare * mod_contribs * mod_dav * mod_encoding * mod_fastcgi * mod_ftpd * mod_gzip * mod_injection * mod_layout * mod_ldap_userdir * mod_limitipconn * mod_log_sql * mod_loopback * mod_mp3 * mod_pcgi2 * mod_protection * mod_random * mod_roaming * mod_scgi * mod_security * mod_ssl * mod_throttle * mod_transform * mod_vdbh * mod_watch * mod_xslt * mod_chroot * mod_csv * mod_diagnostics * mod_gnutls * mod_jk2 * mod_lisp * mod_macro * mod_mono * mod_proxy_html * mod_survey * mod_tcl * mod_umask Please do also carefully read the following (yet incomplete) document: * http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html In addition, it it is important to note, that you are adviced to UNMERGE YOUR EXISTING "apache" before you upgrade. This is to prevent you from SEGFAULT-ing when running your apache. Although, please MOVE YOUR OLD APACHE CONFIG AWAY when emerging the new apache. This is because you could get confused when looking into the apache config directory after your emerge. We had BIG configuration layout updates that were REQUIRED. Please ensure, that you're not mixing up any old ebuilds with the new one, that's why I explicitely added some version numbers at the very important ebuilds. A last word: Many many thanks in forward for helping out :) Best regards, Christian Parpart. -- Netiquette: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt 04:29:58 up 18 days, 17:36, 4 users, load average: 1.44, 0.45, 0.28 pgpfrTFCvHvEB.pgp Description: PGP signature

Although, it manages the gentoo default virtual-host to be served by a gentoo webserver (here: apache ;) You can disable the virtual-host management by using no-vhost useflag, right. But wether it shall be called no-htdocs or htdocs is a semi-hot discussion recently somewhere on the gentoo bug heap. I remember that there's been a missinging feature related to useflags that prevents us from handling it differently. So, for now, we must shout laud enough, so that everone looks at what he's upgrading before he's doing so blindly (and accidently overwriting some stuff he hasn't a backup for).

yes, is possible. I've once written a bash script that connects to my server
(not HTTP) and it just works.
http://devwiki.mylair.de/file/trunk/contrib/rrd%2Bcron%2Bcgi/rrdyacs.sh
have a look at my yacs_stats() function to see how to do this in a real world
example.

you must be aware of the HTTP/1.0 / HTTP/1.1 RFC. but that's rather simple.
If you're not in luck (lagging experience), curl might assist you then.
But wouldn't be real bash scripting then ;)

Hi all, I recently had to fully recreate my /home dir that I lost, though, I experienced, that after having get an initial working X11 (/KDE) session, I had to prace the space-bar each time I press some special buttons to get the ' displayed e.g. (or the "). Why is this? I remember, I once that this *problem* but I can't remember how I got rid of it, tho, how do I get the usual behavior back?
