I have a Gentoo server that is running Cisco VPN software to connect to

command to setup the route:
route add -net 10.4.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.200
On my Gentoo server I run dhcpd to allocate IP addresses for machines on
my LAN. The current configuration is:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;

So the question is how can I setup dhcpd to automatically setup the
route command for all clients using the dhcpd?
Cheers,

You are suggesting that each client needs the route command. Not so, set it on
the gateway. that way each client accessing the VPN will be routed via the
gateway back to 192.168.1.200 and thnce to the VPN.

[gentoo-user] Network start delay?
Hi all, I have a quick question about my init scripts. I start my wireless network with the script /etc/init.d/net.eth2 which is started by init in the default runlevel. I also have /etc/init.d/netmount to mount some samba shares, and which is also started my init in the default runlevel, but depends on net from the line: local myneed=net So, as I understand it, this makes sure that init starts net.eth* before starting netmount. That's good. However, eth2 is on a DHCP-enabled connection and takes a few seconds to come up after starting the script. By the time netmount is started, net.eth2 has not finished coming up, so netmount fails and the samba shares are never mounted automatically. Is there a way to make the netmount script wait for a route to exist before attempting to connect? Thanks! Pete. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Either one works for me. How do you collect mail? It's probably easiest to let postfix store incoming mail in a local maildir I can't see how one makes that happen. FEX, mutt creates a maildir '.maildir', but postfix config template lists 'Maildir/' as option. IDK what the defaults are, nor what they should be. It _seemed_ like leaving home_maildir [or whatever related option] unset in the config delivers to ~/.maildir. Like it's a gentoo-provided default, or something. This is what I'm questioning... is there a gentoo-dev preference for not using MH (or for using .maildir not Maildir specifically) that's going to catch me up in the future. Now, I'm collecting it to the right place by having to set up nmh and a .forward file in ~/. store and run a local IMAP/POP server - I use dovecot for this. Well, this is a fix for the difficulty I had. I guess claws has options only for pop or imap or local mbox. Not maildir, maybe that's what the extra '-maildir' ebuild is supposed to remedy. (IDK. It didn't seem to make a difference.) The instructions from the wiki for postfix regarding sylpheed is to use nmh and ~/.forward. I know MH is a storage thing, but the messages delivered to postfix have magically 'just shown up' in the [MH] mail folder used by claws, I suppose as a function of the files created by install-mh and .forward, as indicated in the wiki. I guess that's just the way to go as it works, or... running dovecot... which would moot the problem I have now... and give me mail access via a client not on my home machine. So, has anyone found a shell mailreader that would use MH folders? I thought I'd found a way in the past for mutt to do so, but it escapes me now. Maybe this will teach me to backup /etc before the disk craps out next time. ;-) Thanks for your reply. Cheers, -- Michael Higgins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I deleted .config and .cache to back to default, so if I install any application like browsers, mail client and so on, everything is OK, but If I add the weather monitor, the XFCE Panel disappears after close the session again. Some now how ti fix it? For your reference I' m using: Firefox 2. , Opera 9.x , OOo 2.1 , Netscape Mail 7.2 fro this account, Kmail for my job, Claws-mail for Gmail account, Kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 Also I use KDE 3.5.5 and is weather applet works fine, but KDE is to heavy for my old box, everything take a long time to work. XFCE is more fast and light, so I would like to fix this problem. Thaks in advance Sigfrido Hi, Did you try xfrun4 ( Alt + F2), then xfce4-panel ? -- Jacques I did. But XFCE4 panel attemp to appear just a few second and GOODBY. I have configured the task bar to show all aplication and task from all windows desk to see all that I lose after XFCE4-Panel desappear. I'm sure that it just happen if I add the Weather Update, I'm using the default setting and it dead just if I include Weather Update Applet, so nothing happen if I add Netload, and another applications. Any way to fix it?

Yes, but then I have to manually, one at a time search eix and compare to the output of 'emerge world'. I use eix. That's actually why I suspect that the feature could be implemented fairly easily. Portage has all the info it needs. You do know that eix is not related to portage in any way? Not to argue semantics, but I'm guessing, and I could be wrong, but 'esearch' or whatever other database (used generically) that portage uses has at least what versions there are of each package and if they're ~x86 or not. That's all that's required for this request. Anyway, can you explain to me how this feature would help you at all. I really don't understand the use case for it. Only because you asked... And the short answer is mostly for stability and book-keeping. I run a mixed environment of stable and testing -- as do most people.

I really don't give a rat's ass about them and don't want to spend days compiling things just for one tiny little bug fix, or an ebuild fix or whatever else causes a version bump. Therefore, if I could easily look and see a flag saying, Hey! This package is now stable and is equal to or newer than the testing version you've got installed. I would be more inclined to upgrade to it, and simultaneously remove the /etc/portage/package.mask entry so I can therefore continue to be stable until the next must have feature in some package. That's it. It's quite simple really. I could go on in more depth here, but I feel like I'm just wasting everyone's time.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can someone please explain to me why these bugs are duplicates?
This makes (at least) two of us (me and the OP) who don't understand the relation between the request for indication if portage wants to install a stable or testing package and the bug where in some cases portage misses that some dependencies are already provided. The feature the OP requests would be helpful in a situation like this: The user wants a stable system. The user wants a package with features available only in the testing/masked ...newer version. In order to get those features the user un-keywords the package in question. After some time portage wants to upgrade that package. Now. The user doesn't want to upgrade the testing version with another testing version but prefers to revert back to a stable version providing the features (s)he needs. Here would come the use of this feature which would indicate what kind of package (stable or not) portage wants to install as an upgrade. As already mentioned in this thread the workaround is to un-keyword a concrete version, not the whole package. Btw the bug is reopened by another developer who also thinks it is not a duplicate. Lets see if such a feature would appear after some time. ;-) -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Open Office 2.0.4 and fonts
Adrian wrote: Greetings; I just upgraded Open Office from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 (yes, I'm behind). Now, I can't use any of the fonts other than the ones which come with Open Office. All my existing fonts which I added were being substituted with other fonts. Have you tried deleting ~/ooo-2.0/user/psprint/pspfontcache and then restarting OOO? It's been a while since I fooled around with OOO fonts, so my memory is fuzzy. I seem to have convinced OOO to pick up 2745 fonts, judging from the length of pspfontcache. (More than ~3000 fonts and the startup times become unbearably long.) I converted all my OpenType fonts to TrueType with the following script: #! /bin/env fontforge # Quick and dirty hack: converts a font to truetype (.ttf), works only # with one font. # Use in a bash loop like this: #for font in *.otf ; do # fontforge -script otf2ttf $font #done # Print(Opening +$1); Open($1); Print(Saving +$1:r+.ttf); Generate($1:r+.ttf); Quit(0); I believe that this script works with Type 1 (PostScript) fonts as well, despite what the comments say.
