Hi Yousef, First thing qmail-1.03-r16 *is* masked (testing in my profile at least) -r15 is the stable version. Maybe (if possible, don't need something from -r16) you should try -r15 first. Now checking and saw there are 24 patches against vanilla qmail-1.03 in -r15 and 28 patches for -r16.

As you are already using qmail check and use only these patches which you need.

In qmail no mail is sent to root - it's always sent to some other account - see the docs in sites above.

Now I simply emerged gcc4 (its slotted) and then as my user I did export the variables a gcc-config -E x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.0.1-pre20050616 printed out.

If I switch my profile with gcc-config to the gcc4 profile everything works.

The problem atm seems to be, pointed out: 1. both external clients and internal clients can correctly resolve http://my-dynamic-name.no-ip.com to the ppp0's IP. 2.a. external clients' requests hit the router coming from ppp0 2.b. internal clients' requests hit the router coming from eth1 3. nat/PREROUTING: 3.a. The packets from 2.a. get rewritten to dst 192.168.1.20 3.b. The other ones don't get rewritten 4. Routing is performed (filter/FORWARD, nat/POSTROUTING): 4.a. The packets from 2.a. will get routed to 192.168.1.20 and leave the router if allowed by nat/OUTPUT. (it is) WWW server does its job then. 4.b. The packets from 2.b. will hit the router's tcp stack if allowed by filter/INPUT (it is). They'll get RSTed if there's no open port 80. Well, and we have some more problems. Your actual POSTROUTING chain only MASQUERADEs packets leaving through ppp0. With this, and the new rules, www packets from the LAN would get destination rewritten on the router and being routed there. The source address will still be set to the original source address. So the router would answer to that address. Problem here is the client: It expects an answer from the router's IP. So the web server's reply gets dropped at the client. To overcome this, you can setup routing on the web server to generally send packets via the router. I'd suggest placing it in a different subnet, e.g. 192.168.3./24, and have the router use an address in that range to. A little of a DMZ on the LAN wire (not suggested, but not different from you current solution). To-Do: - on the webserver: configure address to 192.168.3.20 - on the router: - configure a second address for eth1 in /etc/conf.d/net (192.168.3.1 assumed here) - modify iptables settings: You need to insert a new rule like the ones above but also for -i eth1. You'll further need to specify -d EXTERNAL_IP (well, of course with that IP instead) to not get all connections to a www port rewritten to that destination. I'd suggest using a new chain for this that you can flush in a script and just place a new rule there if the IP changes. e.g. global skript on boot up: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.3.20 iptables -t nat -N internalwww iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j internalwww and e.g. in your dhcp-script: iptables -t nat -F internalwww iptables -t nat -A internalwww -d $EXTERNAL_IP -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.3.20 -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I had to read your reply about seven times until I could really grasp everything you were saying.

Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot route dynamic dns name internally
Hi, On Mon, 27 Jun 2005 13:09:44 -0400 Travis Osterman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My only concern is that while this will work for my web server, it appears as though I would have to put all my service-providing machines on different subnets and have rules for each of them ... am I understanding that correctly? Hm, depends on the service. But I think fairly all could be placed in the same DMZ subnet. Only DNS-dependent access between the machines in the DMZ using the external DNS name wouldn't work. But clean design of the services should not allow to let such a situation arise. Also, sadly, my webserver is doubling as a samba server right now and I'm not overly optimistic that windows will see it on the different subnet. OK, i agree. Probably setting up two networks on the webserver as well could easily solve this. I tend to now call our DMZ just virtual other subnet as there's no clear rule between them. so we have three networks: - WAN (ppp0) - LAN (eth1/192.168.1.x) - virtual other subnet (eth1/192.168.3.x) where the last share the medium. The webserver/samba machine should listen on 192.168.3.x for webserver requests and should serve Samba on the 192.168.1.x address. But it would work if both services listen on both addresses as well. Is there a way to check and see is local traffic is (terminally) destined for ppp0 and set up a chain to filter by port and reroute that traffic to the appropriate lan computer? Hm, local traffic destined for ppp0 would show up on nat/POSTROUTING. Could dnsmasq point my-dynamic-name.no-ip.com to the address of eth1 instead of ppp0 to make the routing easier (bypassing NAT)? Yes, of course. dnsmasq could answer with the _real_ IP address of the webserver. But if all services are to be distributed from the router to various other machines instead of (in the LAN) their real IPs, that wouldn't work as only one IP address can be answered by dnsmasq for one specific domain name. That's actually the problem's core (translated freely from German). You want to separate the traffic from the virtual service provider identified by the domain name transparently to other machines. So you will not only have to provide the way to the real machines hidden behind the router but also the way back. With the iptables approach only, the packets would even be sent back to the requesting machines. But there they wont (probably, maybe another network pro could be more clear on this? But I think we've lost most of the readers down here;-) ) be recognized as correct answers, I think, and such being dropped (because the request was made to $Router_Machine and the answer comes back from $Real_Service). Another possibility would be to setup proxy servers on the Router. But that scales far worser with the number of services. OTOH, this is needed if the service itself is not routable. I'm still really green at network design issues, but this is a fasinating problem to me. Thanks for your input so far. Well, it also is to me. Never thought that much on such issues before. Actually, the approach via routing to a virtual other subnet came to my mind when I finished a reply using only one additional rule in iptables. Only then I thought about the answers from the servers. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Anyway, why don't you just make a folder in your ~/.themes folder, with the name of the theme, and drag the 36x36, index.theme, and scalable items into it. That's all the theme manager does anyway. Alternatively, open a file manager or file-roller as root, and extract the same files to a theme_name folder in /usr/share/icons, which is where the theme would be installed if it was installed as part of the system.

Re: [gentoo-user] compile probs in general (tightvnc in particular)
i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 * was already set as default. so I evn-update and source /etc/profile, still got the same error. am I right in assuming that i need to set my default profile to i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc ? gcc-config -l shows these options: [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 * [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardened [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednopie [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednossp how do i create one for i386 or more likely how do i get tightvnc to compile with this profile.
