Hi,
I would like to create a (custom) netboot install image of
archlinux to facilitate installation within our department. I have
few queries regarding the corresponding mkinitcpio.conf.
1. How do I use custom hooks together with standard hooks *without*
installing them in /lib/initcp

Hi,
We have configured a set of machines to authenticate
against an LDAP database. For some machines we do not want the
users to login via their normal shell but some custom program
runs for them. For example if some one tries to login to the
smtp server via ssh, they get authenticated via

Dear Archers,
With the latest pacman -Syu I am getting segfaults with ssh and mutt.
I think the two are related for the following reason
(1) Mutt works alright till it tries to make SSL/TLS connection and then it
seg faults
(2) ssh directly seg faults
I think this has got to do wi

Hi,
This is my first posting on Arch-general. I am one
of the recent converts to the Arch religion from the Debian
religion.
I am writing this in defense of the pacman.static package from
archlinuxfr site. I have been running for Arch on a server, a
laptop and an eeepc box for a while.

Hi,
latex which was fine till last update is having an unmet
libpoppler dependency. When I tried to install libpoppler then the
complaint was that they are not in the correct format. So I guess
the following needs to be done.
1) Add libpoppler as a dependency to latex
2) recompile libpop

Hi,
I am part of a group of people who run a mirror for some GNU/Linux
distros. I have a question regarding how rsync works. The question is

Can anyone please tell me whether my understanding of lxc is correct.
Say I have lxc containers foo1, foo2 and bar1, bar2 such that
(1) foo1 and foo2 have seperate file hiearchy and
(2) bar1 and bar2 share /usr /bin/ (i.e. directories where executables
and shared libraries are kept) via read
