What I used to do (when I was running Slackware rather than Gentoo) is grab kernel.org sources and then apply the patch from openwall.com, and there also I could choose security features, though there was less adventure. :) There's a lot of room for doing things differently from the kernel sources that happen to be in portage. Generally speaking, if you are concerned about security you would want to use Linux 2.4 (or perhaps even 2.2 or 2.0) instead of Linux 2.6, but with Gentoo AMD64 only 2.6 is supported, so you work with what you've got. Hi, Better to use 'hardened-sources' (former 'hardened-dev-sources') if it's available on AMD-64 profiles. It includes vanilla-sources + grsecurity v.2.1.5 IIRC. Of course it's up to you to config it (the kernel) as you like, Thus you save time/problems with a custom kernel-patch part. There's nothing wrong to make all this yourself, could additionally customize some things. Choice is your's. PS: haven't checked but think not all things are backported to 2.4 even less to 2.2, evolution is very dynamic here.

I tried dmesg, and the only error reported there is Spurious 8259A interrupt, IRQ7. I have the kernel (2.4 kernel) configured with the following options in the parallel port support submenu (compiled in, not as modules). Parallel Port Support PC Style Hardware Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial) Use FIFO / DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL) SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL) IEEE 1284 transfer modes The following option is de-selected Support foreign hardware The parallel printer support option (parport) under the character devices submenu is compiled as a module, and is loaded at startup (parport is in the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 file). I've tried configuring the bios for both EPP/ECP and EPP parallel ports with the same result, though I haven't yet tried reconfiguring the IRQ or addesses in the bios to different locations. Is there anywhere else I can look for ptal-mlcd error messages to get further debug help? I also tried configuring it directly instead of using ptal via cups.

I installed maildrop separately, but use Squirrelmail for the latter. As a client I mostly use Apple's Mail.app, but have also used Entourage, kMail and Outlook Express happily. I've been accessing my Courier-IMAP mailboxes from the Windows Mobile client on my new phone sporadically for the past two or three weeks. It seems to work well, with the proviso that the client doesn't seem delete to messages from the server when I delete them on the phone's inbox, and that I can't view sub-folders. I suppose it's possible this is because I have something configured wrong, or because I've simply never waited for the 10,000 messages in my typical sub-folder to synchronise, but it doesn't matter to me, because I simply want to be able to access an up-to-date inbox on my IMAP server. I can move messages from my inbox to sub-folders, and this works perfectly, so I suppose you could delete items from your inbox by moving them to Trash. This is a known problem with the Windows Pocket Outlook email client and Courier IMAP (and probably most if not all IMAP servers). I don't quite get it but it has to do with the client not recognizing 'namespace'. For example, Pocket Outlook sees all my folders as Inbox.folder. Thus 'Deleted Items' is seen by Pocket Outlook as 'Inbox.Deleted Items' . Since a Delete in Pocket Outlook is really a move to Deleted Items this fails because Deleted Items does not exist - only Inbox.Deleted Items. The only workaround I have found is as you mention, move the item to the appropriate folder. If anyone has found another way, I'd be very happy to hear about it.

I can't believe it's supposed to be this hard. I must be missing the obvious. The problem loading the module is probably due to the difference in kernel versions or compilation options. I am not surprised that the module from 2.6.9 didn't work... You best bet may be to do an initial installation to the IDE drive, build a custom kernel there with the Advansys SCSI driver, then transfer the system to your SCSI disk. That should be faster than making a custom live CD. Thanks. I finally got the system installed via a Knoppix CD. Since Knoppix included the Advansys driver, I was able to install directly to my SCSI drives as I wished. Ironically, Knoppix did not see my IDE card attached to the PATA port on my Promise 150 SATA controller. :) But no matter, once I built Gentoo and used genkernel with slight modification (i.e. adding the Advansys support), everything is working fine.

If I don't need bttv, how can I prevent bttv from loading on startup? I never asked for to start but I assume it gets loaded because I used genkernel to build my kernel.

snip
I'm getting a little lost here. It looks like you're trying to do 2
distinct tasks here. It looks like:
1. You're trying to set up a web server that is publicly available to the
internet
2. You're trying to share your network connection with another computer.
It might be a good idea to tackle them one at a time. If you don't have
nmap installed: install it ('emerge nmap').
0. INFORMATION
==
What's the make and model of the DSL modem you're trying to use? You say
you
1. WEB SERVER UP
Get the web server up and running. When it's running, on the same server
enter the command:
nmap -p 80 192.168.1.96
If it is up, then you will see something like:
Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-05-15 13:20 CDT
Interesting ports on foo.local (192.168.1.96):
PORT STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open http
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.129 seconds
If you see this (STATE: open), then make sure the web browser works. Fire
up Konq or Firefox and navigate to http://192.168.1.96. If the page looks
correct, then move on to the next step (port forwarding). If not, then you
probably saw:
PORT STATE SERVICE
80/tcp closed http
That means that you need to configure your web server properly, and start it
up.
2. PORT FORWARDING
==
Lets say that your assigned static ip address is a.b.c.d. If you indeed
have forwarded the port to the web server, then you will see:
$ nmap -p 80 a.b.c.d
Starting nmap 3.75 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-05-15 13:20 CDT
Interesting ports on (a.b.c.d):
PORT STATE SERVICE
80/tcp open http
Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.129 seconds
If the web server is up, and you see STATE closed, then you need to get your
port forwarding working correctly. Possibly the routings are messed up in
your Modem.
If you see STATE open, then test with:
$ firefox http://a.b.c.d
And make sure the web content looks right. If some does, and some
doesn't... then it means your web server isn't properly configured.
(Things like bind addresses, etc.) You said your setting up a LAMP
(Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) -- focus on 'LA' for now. Getting all four to
work together the way you want is a little trickier.
3. AVAILABLE VIA WAN
Check to see if Bellsouth is blocking your IP from being a server. SSH to
an external machine, or call your aunt in Toledo and have them navigate a
web browser to:
http://a.b.c.d
If it works, then all is good with your web server. If not, then you
probably have issues with Bellsouth. Most 'for-the-masses' ISP's are
blocking people from running servers. And those that don't, still have
policies against it. This includes Verizon (port blocking), and Comcast
(policy). Exceptions include Speakeasy, Earthlink (for some
subscriptions), and Covad.
If they see the web page, and all the content looks good -- then your web
server is set up and ready for action.
4. INTERNET SHARING WITH OTHER COMPUTER
===
Get your web server working, and then move on to this.
Hope this helps!

[gentoo-user] mxser and kernel 2.6
Hi, I'm trying to make work a moxa smartio c168H/pci card with a kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r8. It comes with a different driver version than previous 2.4 kernel series, which I've been using for a long time without problems so I'm sure it's ok. I could compile and load mxser module, /dev nodes were created and minicom seems to send ATs commands to the modems but they does not answer anything to the terminal. Even though TR led lights when modems receives DTR signal from computer. It's like when software and device DTE speed mismatch and the terminal doesn't works, but I could check it with msmon utility (provided by original moxa driver package), and they are sets with the right DTE speed. Despite I proved all DTE speed options and always get nothing. The mxser original driver from moxa website behave the same way than patched version that comes with linux kernel. I couldn't find any similar problem on Internet and I can't do anything with source code (no matter I know C language), because I have no idea about linux kernel programming. I'm wondering if my kernel configuration gets in conflict in some way the normal mxser functionality. Maybe, due to it's udev only or some pci setup or driver. I need an idea. greetings Jose A.
