[gentoo-user] top and/or ps without all the java threads
Hi Is there a way to get a ps or top like display of processes that shows just the master process and not all the threads as separate processes for java programs? This is on a 2.4.30 hardened gentoo system. Thanks Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

but wait . . . he said, replying to his own message. I found this page: http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2871sid=8511ebb8e725982cd47d2106049897bd which says in part: I am running freetype-2.1.7, as was installed with the Xorg packages. Symlinks were correct, as you specified. I was having no problems at all until I attempted to compile the Gimp-2.0.2, and at that point I made what I believe is a correction to the freetype.h file (I moved #include ft2build.h before #ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H) I am not a C programmer, so the logic I used may be errent... but it is the only thing I changed, and I was then able to compile the Gimp. (I did not reboot, ldconfig, anything.) about the same error message. I did: emerge -C freetype and removed both instances of freetype then emerge freetype to install the latest then I edited freetype.h as this user did and it seems to be working. I was also unable to upgrade gtk+ and turns out I was having the exact same error compiling that. I just emerged gtk+ with no problem, and am currently working on Firefox. Only three more problems to solve, and I'll be happy.

This is on a 2.4.30 hardened gentoo system. For 2.4.30, I don't know of any way to do this, because as far as the kernel is concerned, every thread really is a separate process. They are just communicating via signals and shared memory. I think it is pretty much impossible for another process like top or ps to figure out whether something is a 'thread' or a 'process' with 2.4.

it bootet fine with devfs, oh, and the config is the same since ages,
three days later, I switched to udev.
Btw, I greped the config for random/urandom, there was nothing found.
Hm, where should I look?
There's no Kconfig option because the random number generator is a
required feature. I don't see how it could be a udev issue because
the /dev/urandom device file is either there or not and after that
it's the kernel's responsibility. I would build a new kernel.
Zac
You can pretty quickly determine if it is a kernel problem or a udev
problem by adding a
'ls -l /dev/urandom' to /etc/init.d/urandom:
start() {
[...]
ls -l /dev/urandom # debug strangeness
ebegin Initializing random number generator
umask 077
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/var/run/random-seed count=1 /dev/null
Also, only the display options for devfs were removed from 2.6.12, the
code and config option in .config are still there. Can you double check
your kernel config, and make sure that # CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set.
I think if you copied an old kernel config, you could have devfs support
still in your kernel, which might cause some strange behavior. I'm not
sure.

I had devfs still in kernel, but no automount and gentoo=nodevfs in grub.conf.

Re: [gentoo-user] Encripting /home
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 As I said in another message, what I read is that the userland tools weren't supporting dm-crypt propersy. Probably I've read something that was outdated. An old bug I believe. ATM there is nothing I know of that supports a bug or flaw in any way. I didn't mean to use gpg to encrypt the whole file system, that would be insane. I mean that instead of using a password te encript, to use a generated key, which is stronger and to encrypt that key with a password (and keep it on a remobable media). But now that I think of it, I don't need that much security (Am I the only one that when reading about security gets paranoid ?). I agree you don't need that much security, but no, you are not the only one paranoid ;-) I do not think howevere that any agency would spend more than 2 days trying to hack your computer without literally trying to force it out of you. If it's more serious than that, then I guess they suspect you of having all the plans /addresses of the taliban on your comp ;-) Then you're on your own, lol. Either way, with plain old AES it's a matter of brute-force, and with dm-crypt the choice is up to you what hashing you use. What I mean with hashing is that your PW is send though a whatever hash. The password passwd becomes kæ?GòÝ3e.!+1´¦G·Áç.??ñÓû (in plain ASCII through a sha256 bit system used by dm-crypt). Of couse it's more compicated than that, but try getting just that password (the ascii version) with just plain text ;-) ... See you next century. To give you an example: in Holland they can give you a maximum of 3 months jail sentence for something you refuse to co-operate on .. IE: the password to your filesystem. If you think the contents are worth more then 3 months jail sentence keep your mouth shut, else just tell them. They won't crack your system even if you use 265kbit encryption. Take the .. ummm what was it called... something with a cow-logo... it was like [EMAIL PROTECTED], they solved it, using thousands of computers all over the world, and it took quite some time (2 years or so? anyone?). The thing was, it was 56bit encryption ;-) 256bit is a little (actually a LOT) more. I'd like this: home to be encripted in a way that can be mounted thru fstab asking the passphrase at mount-time, with the posibility to change the password easily. I think that can be achieved by using a key and encripting the key on cryptoloop, or it is simpler on loop-AES, because the passphrase con be changed easily, right ? What about dm-crypt ? is the passphrase changeable ? I believe with loop-AES, yes, but not with dm-crypt .. at least not yet. They are working on this, but I don't know how far they are. The thing is, does it need to be changed? This is for home use right? You are your spouce know the password, but how many others? A password of this measure does (IMHO) not need to be changes often at all, unless sent over an uncrypted line often. As I believe I mentioned in my previous post (beer has gotten hold of me) I mough my partitions with a bash script. It just has a list of the commands (with some error-correction) saves as an executable file. Let's call it secdrive ... all I say is `secdrive on` and it mounts it, asking for the password, and `secdrive off` umounting it. Pretty much the same way as fstab, except no trace of it there, and what can't be seen there isn't notived even (at least until they search your .bash_history files etc). I hope this os actually of some relevance ;-) If you would like more info, I wrote a tutorial on http://axljab.homelinux.org/Encryption_-_dm-crypt , and if you want I can send you my bash script which you can modify to you needs.

First if you're using the tar file (specified in /etc/conf.d/rc) the /dev node might be disappearing (to fix I think you need to remake the dev node and rebuild the tar file). Other problems here with udev is the lack of an appropriate rule for the device creation... Other possibilities are that if you're using kernel mods for the ppp support, I know my devices don't get created until the module has been loaded (at which point the devices appear).

when playing flash animations on mozilla firefox, its not giving the sound output. what will be de solution? if you have a soundcard which cannot do hardwaremixing (a card that can mix audio output of more than one application) then install a recent version of ALSA. It does software mixing per default (via the DMIX plugin), without any additional configuration work. Then, Firefox still uses OSS, done via the ALSA OSS emulation. Unfortunately, when using the OSS emultion, softwaremixing does not work for technical reasons.

Beyond that, encripting with a key is much better than doing that with a passphrase because the passphrase can be cracked (dictionary attack) while the key-encripted that can't. Bullocks. With enough time, key-encrypted stuff can be broken into as well. Brute forcing is (theoretically) *ALWAYS* possible. So, if you make the password random enough, there's no risk. A few hundred chars should be sufficient - since you can easily pipe the passphrase to cryptsetup (and thus don't need to type it in manually), that's not a real problem.
