Re: [gentoo-user] loopback mount hard-drive image created with dd?

How about using your disk image as HD in a VM, and then inspect it from VM, hmm... Or look out for some tools which allow you to play with hard disk images, e.g. mtools .

I'd qualify it as | bug, but YMMV, and again, I don't know much about it. Let me elaborate it a bit: pdnsd is a DNS server capable of listening on TCP/UDP ports (depending on options in configuration file and commandline). Options set on commandline override what is set is configuration file. And, in init script of this port, the option to listen on TCP ports, i.e. '-t' switch, has been explicitly passed. So, there is no way, one can disable listening on TCP from pdnsd.conf. So one, has to edit '/etc/conf.d/pdnsd' and add --notcp option. In my view, from the point-of least privileges, one has to explicitly turn on listening of daemon on port. So its a problem on Gentoo porting side, not with the pdnsd team.

Hi While trying to prevent 'net-dns/pdnsd' to listen on TCP and on to avoid TCP queries, I changed 'tcp_server' parameter to 'off' and 'query_method' parameter to 'udp_only' in /etc/pdnsd/pdnsd.conf .

I'm a new Gentoo user, so I'm not sure if qualifies as some bug.
