[gentoo-user] Evolution vCards
Hi everyone, I'm sure a few of you have come across a contact who always includes vCards in his or her emails. Does anyone know a way to get Evolution to suppress the display/inclusion of these things? Is there a fancy way to get rid of them with procmail, or some other method? Every single email I get from this person shows up with an attachment and a lot of screen real estate is taken up displaying the card. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Force SSH Key Authentication
Hi, I have an account on a server that lets users SSH in with password based authentication. That is OK, but for my account I would prefer to restrict SSH access to key based authentication. Is there an option I can put somewhere in ~/.ssh/ to enforce this? -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] install with no network
I will have network access AFTER I compile the madwifi driver for my wireless card. I want to complete a Gentoo install without the network. If you need madwifi drivers, an option that you have is to boot off a Knoppix disc, set up wifi on Knoppix (it includes the madwifi drivers I think), open up a terminal and proceed with the regular Gentoo installation process. At least that's how I would do it. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] suspend/resume

I think this is called suspend/resume. I see there is a kernel called suspend2-sources. Is there any way to do it with my hardened-sources kernel? - Grant The primary difference between suspend in the vanilla (and hardened) kernel and suspend in Suspend2 is that Suspend2 is much faster. I don't have any hard numbers, but I think the difference is something like twenty seconds versus a minute to fully suspend on my laptop. This isn't normally a big deal, and you don't need to migrate from the hardened kernel. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] graphical ssh-enabled file system browser?

They use a lot of spaces in their file names so I'd like something that had two window panes (local remote) that would allow them to drag files in either direction and do the hard stuff for them. If you are using Gnome, the best option is just to use Nautilus, which has this functionality built in. Just click Places | Connect to Server, and fill in your info. This will create a normal nautilus window that you can drag and drop from. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The disadvantage of doing this is that it doesn't save you a lot of time, and if you use the 'Connect to Server' option then the remote folder will show up under 'Places' in the future. On another note, you can use sshfs and use any file browser you can think of to access the files. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Module philosophy: Compile-in or Load
On 6/11/06, Anthony E. Caudel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was wondering what gentoo-users think and practice about kernel modules. Do most compile them in the kernel or load them at boot-up. I have heard a security argument made that it is safer to compile everything into the kernel, and disable support for modules entirely. The reason for this is that if someone can load malicious modules on your system they can basically circumvent any security systems you are using, including things like SELinux and grsec. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

HOw does one stay abreast of the newest profiles? It actually isn't that important to stay abreast of the newest profiles. If you actually look at the profile, you'll see three files. One of them is packages, which just specifies the minimum versions for a couple packages (in this case baselayout, binutils, gcc, and glibc). The other imporant one is make.defaults which just specifies the default USE flags, which are overriden by any changes you have in make.conf. Probably the only thing that will change if you move to a new profile is you *might* get some new default USE flags, but since you probably have quite a few of your in in make.conf this probably won't even change anything. Also, the settings in make.conf rarely change from version to version. -- Evan Klitzke -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc-4.1.1
AFAIK, the only thing that you need to compile twice is GCC. And you don't even really need to do that twice. The second pass will may pass on new optimizations that will make it more efficient, but the code it outputs will be exactly the same. -- Evan Klitzke On 6/7/06, Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6/7/06, Roy Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You might want to read: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=282474highlight= which basically recommends: emerge -s emerge -s emerge -e emerge -e Ugh, this is completely pointless.
