Because I don't think Gentoo is at all appropriate for an E-smith type
system. It's fine for developers who want bleeding edge desktop systems
but doesn't offer any advantages at a

Ech, forget it.
I've been trying out ipsec and the devinfo-freeswan package for 5.6.
Got it working between two e-smith boxes on the local lan but in a short
while I'm going to have to set up vpn links between e-smith boxes in
remote offices and a central Sonicwall router, which will mean rolling

Excellent. One thing, though: is anything on an E-smith system likely
to unload that module? I'm consi

It's a while since I did any serious development on a Red Hat (based)
system. Since the few e-smith rpms I've been working on so far are all
noarch, I've been able to build them quite happily using rpm on Debian.
Now, though, I need to do some building on a real E-smith system, so...

I heard from
Recently I came across a very useful piece of code called Powerswitch.
It's a small kernel module that intercepts and cancels APM/ACPI suspend
signals and then runs 'shutdown -h now'. This means that if your
e-smith machine has any halfway recent bios you can trigger a clean
shutdown by pressing t
