comments?
I suspect you don't really understand what CONFIG_PROTECT{,_MASK} is. Please
read the output of `emerge --help --config`. All the files you've mentioned
are covered by CONFIG_PROTECT in a default configuration so if they aren't it
means you've screwed up your CONFIG_PROTECT and/or CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK
variables. Otherwise it is you who overwrote those files with
etc-update/dispatch-conf or whatever you use for that.
I suppose you could work around your own clumsiness ;) by removing the
mentioned files in post_pkg_postinst of sys-apps/baselayout and
mail-mta/ssmtp. Something like e.g.:
# mkdir -p /etc/portage/env/sys-apps \
echo 'post_pkg_postinst() {
echo Removing new rc.conf, local.{start,stop} and clock
rm -fv ${ROOT}/etc/._cfg_rc.conf \
${ROOT}/etc/conf.d/._cfg_{local.start,local.stop,clock}
}' /etc/portage/env/sys-apps/baselayout
PS: Please don't capitalize your sentences like that. It's really annoying..

[gentoo-user] Openswans IPSEC starting before net
Hi, I installed openswan recently to connect to my IPCOP based router via VPN over an Netgear WPN311 WLAN card. According to some documentation I found I added also ipsec-tools though it seems that this is not necessary (setup of different PC without them and everything works fine). The problem now is that the IPSEC service is started before NET service is up and running. That way IPSEC does not setup the VPN tunnel to the router. I always need to perform the IPSEC startup by hand (or in rc.local). As I stated above setting up a PC without ipsec-tools packakge installed leads to correct behaviour (IPSEC started after NET). 1. Has anybody seen this before ? Is there a way to alter the startup order ? 2. How can I debug the decision process which determines the startup order of the services ? I already checked /var/lib/init.d/deptree. But from that file everything seems to be alright (NET is precondition to run IPSEC). BR Thomas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Explenation about %-lines in fcrontab files
Hello, I am not new in fcron but I have never used all its functionalities. In fact, I only use -lines in crontab which are like in Cron. However, today, I need to use Fcron for executions like once all Friday between 10:00 and 13:00. So I read Fcrontab(5) again. And I thought %-lines are what I needed. But, I didn't succeed in understanding how *ly, mid*ly and *s keywords work. Maybe could you help me. Where could I find more examples on those %-lines ? What I have understood ? For instance for an execution all Friday between 10:00 and 13:00, I would write: %hours * 10-12 * * Fri /what/I/want/to/do Is it right ? For *ly and mid*ly, I don't understand the difference between mid and not mid. What are the differences between: %daily * 10-12 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all days between 10:00 and 13:00 ? And: %nightly * 10-12 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all nights between 10:00 and 13:00 ? So all days between 10:00 and 13:00 ... Or between: %hourly 15-30 /what/I/want/to/do # an execution all hours between -:15 and -:30 ? And: %midhourly 15-30 /what/I/want/to/do # the same ? And what are the differences between weekly and midweekly, excepted Fcron starts to try the execution Monday or Thursday ? ... So can you explain me how work %-lines, or tell me where I could find a documentation more explicit than Fcrontab(5) ;-) . Regards, Grégoire Baron -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] xorg 7.1 radeon hardware acceleration? x300 (M22 [Radeon Mobility M300])
I am interested in getting hardware acceleration, if that's the right term, with xorg 7.1 and xorgs radeon drivers. I tried this a while ago but it meant a lot of messing with cvs software and goofing with header files, it was a pain. Hopefully it's easier now. lspci lists my card as GA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300], the more common name is x300. Any pointers out there? I am not interested in ati-drivers as they reliably hang my laptop, and do it hard. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Explenation about %-lines in fcrontab files
Ok, thanks I think, for *s keywords I understood. For *ly and mid*ly, I think I have some difficulties because I haven't concrete examples. In fact, the difference between *ly and mid*ly keywords (between weekly and midweekly, for instance) is the beginning of the period and so when fcron start to try to execute the command. And in practice, we only can see that when we have several execution intervals for a same period, computer shutdown or 2 commands with mid and without mid (one with middaily and one with daily, for instance), aren't we ? Thanks you very much for your help.

[gentoo-user] Mac k/b on PC?
Im using a USB Mac keyboard on a regular (Intel) PC. Works fine apart from the lack of a working ALT key (so I can't switch to another virtual console). I tried playing loading different keymaps using loadkeys but have not found a working setup. Anyone got this working? Or can point me to some docs? -- A -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
