[gentoo-user] Re: Looking for IMAP-IMAP spam filtering
On 2012-02-21, Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote: Okay, I may have misunderstood your needs the first time around (blame it to not having my first cuppa tea of the day). So, you want to do these steps: - Pull email from an IMAP account in box A - Filter it in box B - Push it to box C Skip the box B part. Pull an e-mail from IMAP mailbox A, filter it, then either discard it or append it to IMAP mailbox C (with A and C possibly on different servers). So, the third step is not an LDA. Right. Nothing's local except the filtering. There are some alternatives, none of them are simple, though. The 'easiest' I think would be: - have fetchmail (on box B) pull email from box A, and deliver to local maildir (on B) via procmail+SA - have Dovecot watch the local maildir - have *another* fetchmail instance pull email from the local Dovecot and push it to an SMTP MTA on box C If I'm going to use the SMTP server on box C, then I don't think there's a need for the intermediate maildir stop, since I can have procmail pipe the message to something like msmtp to deliver it to the SMTP server. There are a couple problem with using the SMTP server. The first is that you can't specify a mailbox. The big problem is that the SMTP server may rewrite headers. For example, if it's gmail's SMTP server, it will always muck up the From: header so the message appars to be from the account that was used to log in to the SMTP server (you loose the original From: header). Using the IMAP server allows you to store a message an any folder you want and the headers are unchanged. You can have multiple fetchmail daemons running at the same time by copying/symlinking the fetchmail initscript and creating a correspondent conf file. I've submitted a patch (that has been accepted into the tree) that allows multiple fetchmail daemons. I think it would be simpler to write an LDA that delivers a message to an IMAP mailbox and have procmail pipe messages to that for delivery. It should only take a couple dozen lines of Python...

I don't know first hand: I use systemd in my desktop and laptop machines, a media center, and a couple of servers. However, ProFUSION (http://profusion.mobi/) is a company specialized in embedded systems, and they are huge supporters (and contributors) of systemd. I hear the embedded guys in general like a lot the idea of systemd. How does systemd work with a system that uses SElinux? I don't use SELinux: however, the first distribution that shipped systemd by default (Fedora) uses SELinux also by default, so I would *think* it works. But again, I don't use it. How well does a group of (systemd) systems work with a wide deployment of a distributed file system, such as BTRFS? No idea. I personally use ext4, and I'm not looking forward to move my systems to btrfs. Just curious if you know about any of these areas related to systemd. Not really; I think my use cases are pretty simple and common. But if you are interested in systemd, I think you should try it first in simple setups, and certainly as provided by the Gentoo devs. My overlay is for people like me, who already use systemd (in quite common setups), and who would like to experiment a system without OpenRC just for the fun of trying something new, inestable, and potentially dangerous.

[gentoo-user] Overlays - mask everything except a specific package?
Hi, I'm looking for a ways to: 1) List all contents of a specific overlay including version numbers. 2) Mask everything in an overlay except exactly what I actually want installed. Anyone know how to do this? For instance, I use the init6 overlay to get handbrake but I don't want to use nvidia-drivers nvidia-settings from the init6 overlay even if their version numbers are higher. Clearly, I can play with masking specific package revisions, but that's a lot of work and doesn't clearly say where I get a package when the version numbers are identical. Thanks, Mark

Mark Knecht markknecht at gmail.com writes: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml Yes I tried this link and ended up with a system that would not boot. Something everyone but Neil is missing, is using the Ubuntu to setup the raid array to where the system will reboot. Then install Gentoo. That's why I cannot make any of the gentoo_ish install methods work. I've built dozens of gentoo systems, over the years, without many issues. I've spent way too much time trying to get a working raid1 install. Grub2, fstab examples, fdisk, 4K sector issues, gpt. It's all too screwy on gentoo install media and poorly documented. For peak sake, the livedvd-12 does not even have gptfdisk on it. So I'm going to install raid1 via ubuntu and then install gentoo over it. That way, the dual raid1 disks should be setup and the install will mostly mirror the handbook. Maybe that will work Maybe not, but, I'm done with Gentoo's lack of current (or poor) documentation on raid et all. That's the reason that grub2 is still masked: no current documentation. The handbook still says to use fdisk to prepare 4K sector hard drives, there is no GPT formatting tools; and too much out of date information. The doc folks just ignore the obvious; been down that path too. Hell, I've even to pay folks to just bring any of the numerous (onerous) raid install docs up to date; to no avail. thanks for the input. James

No, I wouldn't say that's radical. I would say that is common sense. A core piece of KDE didn't work for you, and you need that core piece to work right. You probably need and want to work in a consistent DE also. So, the thing to do is to move to something that does work. Being that you need a complete DE, you tried out the first available option - Gnome. And you found that worked for you. I'm a classic Gnome-hater myself, but I can't find the error in that logic Actually I loved kde2 and hated gnome1, but my affections started shifting when kde3 and gnome2 stabilized. A month or two ago I thought gnome3 had stabilized enough that I updated my everyday gnome2 work machine to ~x86, which includes a mostly-gnome3 environment. Last week I decided to regress to x86/gnome2 because there are just a few things that almost-but-not-quite work in gnome3, and I just can't/won't function without them. Something as trivial as double-clicking on a date in the gnome calendar applet no longer opens the calendar function of evolution. What a dumb fscking stupid regression for a major DE to tolerate when it would be so simple to make it work like it already does in gnome2. I really think I could probably hack together a patch by myself, the code is so simple, but I can't see any good reason to waste my time on it. Likewise for debugging the kdepim mess when it was already working well in the old kde. What ARE they thinking? Reminds me of our US Congress, all advertising and no product.

Both of us asking the same thing on the same day. In my case it wasn't poplar. I use the init6 overlay to get handbrake but I started noticing that there are a number of other things my system was pulling in from init6, like nvidia-settings, which I didn't want it to pull in. I want to get everything I need and can get from the standard repository from the standard repository.

I can use kpart to start konsole on a particular desktop so that's easy. What I can't seem to get working is the $SHELL --login + emerge --sync part. If I run konsole --noclose -e emerge --sync then I get the output I want but I don't get a prompt. If I run konsole -e $SHELL --login then I get the prompt but, obviously, no emerge output. How can I combine these two? I would like konsole to run emerge --sync and then leave a prompt open. Just like what would happen if I did it all manually. Any ideas? Cheers, Hilco

The linking phase will need a lot of memory. Although I don't understand why ld would terminate with signal 9 then. When there's not enough memory available, signal 9 is actually how the system recovers from that, by killing the offending process. dmesg should have given a clue about what happened in that case. I compiled FF 10.0.1 on amd64 without any problems : it needed 3,61 GB disk space for the link stage most/all of my 2 GB memory. Thanks guys, I did add half a gig of swap just in case to the 250M already available. It may be that this old box is now s old that I can no longer emerge FF on it. I will try adding some more swap (which of course will take away available disk space for /var/portage) and see what I run out of. PS. I was expecting some message on screen saying no space left on device, but have not checked dmesg for running out memory errors. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] Proxytunnel through nginx

Hi All,
I am trying to set up a reverse-proxy at my home to be able to by-pass
restrictive firewalls that only allow http/https traffic.
So I configured nginx as a reverse-proxy to send connections to the sshd at
the home server. However, I fail to establish a connection. The
connection attempt errors out with:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.5
SSL enabled
Connected to XXX.XX.XXX.XX:443 (local proxy)
Tunneling to 192.168.1.5:22 (destination)
Communication with local proxy:
- CONNECT 192.168.1.5:22 HTTP/1.0
- Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
analyze_HTTP: readline failed: Connection closed by remote host
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
where XXX is the public IP address of my server.
the proxy tunnel command is as follows:
/usr/bin/proxytunnel -v -e -p XXX.XX.XXX.XX:443 -R user:'secretpasswd' -d
192.168.1.5:22
The relevant nginx entries are as follows:
upstream tunnel {
server 127.0.0.1:22;
}
server {
listen 443;
server_name localhost;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate certs/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key certs/cert.key;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
keepalive_timeout 70;
location / {
auth_basic Restricted;
auth_basic_user_file.htpasswd_slug;
# proxy_pass http://tunnel;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_redirect off;
}
}
The nginx error logs don't show anything, so I'm thinking there's something
that the sshd does not like, but even when I increase the debug level in
the sshd_config nothing shows up. This means that the remote client never
reaches as far as the sshd server (nginx and sshd are both running on the
same host).
Any idea what causes this problem?
Could it be that the ssd does not like http/1.0 connections?
Tunneling to 192.168.1.5:22 (destination)
Communication with local proxy:
- CONNECT 192.168.1.5:22 HTTP/1.0
Is it possible to configure a proxy connection from nginx without the http
headers?
