[gentoo-user] Setting up sftp and user permissions
Hi All, I have a desktop box which I am starting to use as a LAN server. I created a new user and noticed that: a) The new user is asked to login with passwd as opposed to pubkey. This is surprising as (I thought) that I had set up sshd_config to allow pubkey authentication only - need to check this again when I get home. Other than a misconfigured sshd_config could it be anything else that causes this? b) Once logged in via sftp the new user can read and access other users files. This is because the default permission setting for /home/%u/ is 0644 (rw-r--r--). Is there a clever way of tightening this down without messing up all home file and directory permissions indiscriminately? I understand that there are many ways to skin a cat - in this case to contain somewhat what a plain user can and cannot do when they log in via sftp. Some ideas that I have across are to use a limited shell like rssh, use an ssh chroot, modify the umask for user directories. I am interested to find out what you might have tried and what you would recommend. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] About the expat update and such
Hi there! The last expat update was an example of something that annoys me about gentoo. I usually do world updates every few days, mostly without trouble. I only tend to forget to restart services, but even for this there is an automatic solution now (see the recent Rolling upgrades thread). I have even compiled X.org or a new KDE while having KDE running. But then, there are things like the expat update. This happens seldomly, but if it does, it's rather annoying. Maybe I have become too comfortable with updating along the way, while working with the system, but usually it works fine. But in the case of expat, I got a message _after_ it was updated that I have to revdep-rebuild some stuff (and I know I should read these messages, but at first I just did not notice until the first problems hapened). In the meantime, much of the system just does not work any more. It took me two days on a not-so-fast PC until revdep-rebuild was done (skipping koffice) and I had kmail running again. It was no big problem, I had the time, and had downgraded expat before when I needed my whole system, but still. So, what I would like is some way of being informed that the next update of some software would cause major trouble and break many things, leaving the system possibly unusable for a while, and the choice of not doing so until I have the time to deal with it. Something like a --force option to emerge, without which things like expat would not be updated. I know, it's not that simple to decide which updates are that critical, but I think at least in the case of expat we agree that this was a problem, as e.g. whole KDE was affected. A soution might be to slot expat, and issue a revdep-rebuild --library=/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 afterwards. This makes all the not-yet-broken apps use the new version, which could be unmerged afterwards. In the meantime, all would be working fine. What do you think? Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The information that a certain new or upgraded package might break something and/or require special actions (like eg revdep-rebuild) can usually be known in advance (the warning messages are in the ebuild, after all), so imho a very simple yet effective solution could be to somehow mark or flag those packages before they are installed. One place to do this could be in the output of emerge -uDavnt world (before the user hits y!), another in the eix-sync summary that is usually displayed after the sync (this only for those who use eix-sync, of course).

Post-sync notification via eselect news. 2) pkg_pretend() in the ebuild which runs at pretend time and is able to notify the user if required. 3) Do proper slotting. 4) preserve_old_lib*() from eutils.eclass. Preserve the .so only and notify the user to run revdep-rebuild --library.. and remove the old lib. I for one am in favour of all of 1), 2) and 3). 1) has been agreed upon but noone skilled enough has found the motivation to make it work with portage. 2) might be agreed upon if the EAPI ever starts moving again.. 3) and 4) are claimed to have unfortunate side effects, but I'm not sure whether that has to be correct (depending on how it's done), and I'm not sure it's any worse than the current situation anyway. -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

If I run net-setup it fonds the card and configures it by simply asking if i use DHCP, but that info obviously is not enough. I very nood when it comes to DHCP, as my local network uses fixed IP and I had no problem connecting to it with the same machine.

However, I do not think portage knows which libraries a specific package needs, so it is necessary at the moment. It might not be impossible to implement, though. After the install step, emerge could run ldd for each binary to check for its libraries, run equery belongs to it and save the list of so found dependent packages somewhere. When such a library is later about to be removed during the cleaning phase, the dependent applications could be re-merged before (assuming the configure step will use the newest library available - not sure if this is entirely true). I guess the equery step would slow things down a lot, but once done, revdep-rebuild would not need to run ldd for every binary in the system over and over again, which does not seem to be that elegant indeed.

[gentoo-user] Server Network Configuration
Ok, first - I wasn't sure which list this should go to, so if this is
the wrong list please just let me know.
I am in the process of upgrading my server from a P90 running Slackware
to a newer system running Gentoo 2007.0. Everything is pretty okay
until I got to doing the network config. My basic config is as follows:
Public DHCP'd Interface - eth0 (default gw)
Private Lan Interface #1 - eth1
Private Lan Interface #2 - eth2
I also have a number of IP Aliases on the eth1 eth2. I managed this
under Slack through a series of custom rc scripts, which autodetected
the IP address of eth0 for use in the routing. However, I am having
trouble figuring out how to do the same thing in Gentoo's conf.d/net
file system.
Thus far, in /etc/conf.d/net, I have the following:
config_eth0(dhcp)
config_eth1(list of static IP addresses)
config_eth2(static ip address)
I also had a route line for eth1 and eth2, but it specified the IP of
eth1, not eth0 - which is unknown.
I've tried the following:
route_eth1(default via ${COMMAND_STRING_TO_EXTRACT_IP_OF_ETH1})
which kinda works (it does get the IP address, but fails with at adding
the route - I'm not at the system right now, so I'll have to post the
specific SIG name later); however, I am very much doubting that that is
the right way to do what I want under Gentoo.
So, my primary question is:
What is the proper way to do this under Gentoo?
I know I could just go and manually write versions of
/etc/init.d/net.eth1/eth2, but I'd rather do it the right way if there
is one, and only do that as a last resort. (And even then, wouldn't I
be risking the Gentoo Configuration system replace them with symlinks?)
Any how...any advice on the proper way to do this would be greatly
appreciated. I really like Gentoo and really do want to keep - I use to
keep Slack up-to-date manually, and just don't have the time for it
anymore, which is why I'm trying Gentoo.

default gateway (hence the name). What are the functions of the NICs on the

[gentoo-user] dependencies from eclass and from ebuild
hi, I'm working to get a stable portage overlay to keep ebuild and files I used to build my system. But even if I keep the ebuild and all the files needed, the command emerge --sync introduces some dependencies by modifying eclass. How can I know (localize) this kind of dependencies ? I found the first one using grep JAVA_PKG_PORTAGE_DEP==sys-apps/portage-2.1.2.7 in eclass/java-utils-2.eclass (change from version 1.91 to 1.92) thank you. -- David Bonnafous Institut de Mathématiques Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse - France -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Server Network Configuration
I've done this sort of thing before, but never with one interface
running dhcp. You definitely want to emerge iproute2 (which gives you
the ip command), and add your interfaces to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, for
example (though in this case, 10 eth0 won't actually get used):
10 eth0
11 eth1
12 eth2
Then in /etc/conf.d/net, put:
modules_eth0=(iproute2)
modules_eth1=(iproute2)
modules_eth2=(iproute2)
config_eth0=(dhcp)
config_eth1=(10.0.0.{1-10} netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255)
rules_eth1=(from 10.0.0.0/24 src table eth1)
routes_eth1=(10.0.0.0/24 src 10.0.0.1 table eth1
10.0.0.0/24 src 10.0.0.2 table eth1
*** and so on ***)
Then do the same kind of thing for eth1. Now, I also seem to remember
that I had another system that I just did everything with the ip
commands in rc.local. And since you're also using dhcp, I don't know if
that will muck with the routing tables everytime the IP renews itself.
Hope that helps. (Also, I seem to remember finding a decent amount of
information about multihoming with iproute2 on the gentoo forums)

I am in the process of upgrading my server from a P90 running Slackware
to a newer system running Gentoo 2007.0. Everything is pretty okay
until I got to doing the network config. My basic config is as follows:
Public DHCP'd Interface - eth0 (default gw)
Private Lan Interface #1 - eth1
Private Lan Interface #2 - eth2
I also have a number of IP Aliases on the eth1 eth2. I managed this
under Slack through a series of custom rc scripts, which autodetected
the IP address of eth0 for use in the routing. However, I am having
trouble figuring out how to do the same thing in Gentoo's conf.d/net
file system.
Thus far, in /etc/conf.d/net, I have the following:
config_eth0(dhcp)
config_eth1(list of static IP addresses)
config_eth2(static ip address)
I also had a route line for eth1 and eth2, but it specified the IP of
eth1, not eth0 - which is unknown.
I've tried the following:
route_eth1(default via ${COMMAND_STRING_TO_EXTRACT_IP_OF_ETH1})
which kinda works (it does get the IP address, but fails with at adding
the route - I'm not at the system right now, so I'll have to post the
specific SIG name later); however, I am very much doubting that that is
the right way to do what I want under Gentoo.
So, my primary question is:
What is the proper way to do this under Gentoo?
I know I could just go and manually write versions of
/etc/init.d/net.eth1/eth2, but I'd rather do it the right way if there
is one, and only do that as a last resort. (And even then, wouldn't I
be risking the Gentoo Configuration system replace them with symlinks?)
Any how...any advice on the proper way to do this would be greatly
appreciated. I really like Gentoo and really do want to keep - I use to
keep Slack up-to-date manually, and just don't have the time for it
anymore, which is why I'm trying Gentoo.
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] possible MBR corruption?
Hi, After the reboot following my daily upgrade from yesterday - during which a revised kernel was installed - GRUB just wouldn't finish starting. It's attempt to start looked like this: GRUB _ with the underscore blinking. Ctrl-alt-del (reboot) worked. Now, to make it clear, I solved that: after finding out that I could make a bootable GRUB CD, I made one from within a live-CD (c't Knoppicillin 5.2). I was then able to boot into Gentoo with it and reinstalled GRUB into the MBR. Don't you just love GRUB ;-)? What I *do* want to know, however, is how the hell the MBR could have been wrecked in the first place. All I did was install the new kernel/initramfs via $ genkernel --lvm2 --symlink --install all [1] , edit grub.conf appropriately and reboot. It worked flawlessly until now. Is Genkernel known to cause anything like this? For the record: I have a Windows partition, but never use it[3]. So I can't imagine how that might be related. In the event that it helps, here's a list of the packages that were updated to yesterday: =net-misc/rsync-2.6.9-r3 =media-sound/madplay-0.15.2b-r1 =media-libs/libdvdcss-1.2.9-r1 =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 =app-misc/beagle-0.2.17 =app-arch/tar-1.18-r2 Also, just to understand the issue better, am I correct in assuming that GRUB *always* installs its stage1 into the MBR or a boot sector (unless you install it onto a floppy or CD)? I know it's a stupid question, but I want to be sure that it was in the MBR in the first place, in the event that there was a completely different cause. If it helps, this was originally a Sabayon 3.20 install. A lot has changed since the initial install, though ;-). Of course, it could just be random disk corruption, but I sure hope not. - SATA drive: Seagate ST3320620AS - Motherboard: Asus M2N-E This computer was assembled about 9 months ago.

The kernel just sends an information to the log, so in case if you recognize the IP and are in charge of the sender, you'll know that it has a very broken TCP stack. Essentially: Just ignore it, if the sender IP doesn't belong to one of your own networks. I found a line in my Treason-related output that pointed to an internal IP on a distcc port. Should I be worried about this computer? It's running a brand new gentoo install and is solely for the purpose of distcc. Hm. I don't think so, but I'm not that deep into TCP that I could easily tell some circumstances when such things can happen and if it indicates a bug by all means. There might be a slight possibility that the packet sender was forged. It depends on your uplink whether such packets can get through. Additionally, when inside a potentially hostile LAN, you can't trust any IP adresses. If it's just a single line, I'd ignore it, I think. But there's no good reason I could give for that proposal, except of some absent feeling that anything would be wrong. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

What are the functions of the NICs on the private networks (eth1/eth2)? router geek hat on You can have as many default gateways or perhaps gateway of last resort or the least specific gateway are better names as your routing engine can support. There is nothing special about a default gateway. It's just a route like all other routes, just far less specific. By default Linux uses the first 0.0.0.0/0 route you set. However by turning on advanced routing in the kernel you can configure more than one. Unfortunately Linux will do per packet instead of the fancier per TCP stream that most routers do by default these days. Per packet round robins between your gateways and can cause packets to arrive out of order in some cases. Per stream, this isn't quite the right terminology but you get the idea, has the downside that one large connection like your db backing up to a remote server can swamp a single gateway. Going back to the original question I don't you're having a routing problem though I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're doing. Once a packet reaches any interface of your route/firewall the Linux should be aware of all local networks. Unless you're routing specific non connected networks to various interfaces you shouldn't need any additional routes. A netstat -rn should look roughly like this: Kernel IP routing table Destination GatewayGenmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 24.x.x.43 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 lo 10.x.11.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.x.12.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1:0 10.x.21.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 10.x.22.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2:0 0.0.0.024.x.x.10.0.0.0 UG0 0 0 eth0 However unless you have enabled ip_forward on your router, Linux is unlikely to route packets from one interface to another.

Ivman picked up the install cd and as root I issued this command: wine /media/sr0/autorun.exe then It ran to 99% completion, looking like it hung on fonts: wine: creating configuration directory '/root/.wine'... wine: '/root/.wine' created successfully. ixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x17793c, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x1148de, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x113900, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x1450bc, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x144750, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x17825a, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x171298, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x175eaa, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x1604cf, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x176c3a, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x14622e, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x143f70, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x183546, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x172000, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x173da2, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x174458, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x12ba1f, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x12aeb8, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x12c3d5, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x179195, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x1a4d4c, enabling work-around fixme:seh:check_no_exec No-exec fault triggered at 0x1a5260, enabling work-around I do remember some (google) noise about fonts (mostlikely missing MS fonts, so does anyone know where I van find these fonts, or or how to extract them from win98,2k,2000 or XP?

Re: [gentoo-user] possible MBR corruption?

Yes, I should have. I know it was there, though, since I mounted /boot/ in the live-CD to check if I had made a typo. However, I doubt that was the problem, since I copied the menu.lst for inclusion in the grub.iso and it worked. Hmm, in that case then the symlink may not have been the problem. Note that on my System menu.lst is a Symlink to grub.conf. If this isn't standard Gentoo, please let me know. Yes, this is the default gentoo: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 26 2006 menu.lst - grub.conf Also, does grub root (hd0,5) grub setup (hd0) touch anything other than the MBR and stages if you already have a boot partition installed? Of course, I didn't keep record of grubs output, so, yeah... there goes all potentially useful information. OK, the above commands install Grub boot code in the MBR of the first hard disk and the Grub fs in the /boot directory within /dev/hda6. I assume that your /boot directory is meant to be in /dev/hda6? However, could it be related to bug 189934? Reading through the linked bug 132135, I switched /lib and /lib64, so instead of /lib64 being a Symlink to /lib, /lib is now a Symlink to /lib64. From a cursory look, I don't think so. I doubt that the MBR was wrecked, because if it were wrecked you wouldn't see the Grub prompt and would just get a BIOS message. Heh, that's obvious *blushes*... However, I didn't really mean completely hosed. Could it have been a broken stage1 that only started in part, or the like? Could be I guess, but I'm not sure. I have no experience with Sabayon either, but Grub will install wherever you tell it to install. That can be in the Master Boot Record (e.g. system (hd0,0) oops! I meant to say: system (hd0) or in any partition's boot record (e.g. system (hd0,1). [snip] Yeah, I should have set noauto the instant I found out about it. Any other recommended mount options? Right now they are defaults,noauto,user_xattr 1 2 which is how it was installed (except for noauto, of course). These options look OK to me as long as you remember to manually mount /boot every time you are installing a new kernel. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: AutoCad2000 on wine
Heheheh. No, but you might try setting up an alias to a font you do have. If you fire up regedit, and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/ you should be able to create a FontSubstitues folder and define substitues. I've never actually done it, but seem to remember folks talking about it somewhere. Or even under Fonts, if you define the font name and then tell it to use a different .ttf file perhaps.
