What else can I check? I believe that the MAILTO variable mails output only when there are errors, so try putting 'ls /idontexist' as a command and see if you get anything. You may have to mail normal output by hand. Cheers, -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

By what I understand, kdesdk already includes kompare, that is why it is blocking it. If you don't have kompare already, there may be some bug in an eclass or ebuild relating to one of these packages. I'm not a kde user, but a quick look at the ebuild for kompare showed that the src is the same as kdesdk. As for where the blocks come from, I think it's directly from the dependencies specified in the ebuilds. Well, hope that helps. Cheers, Guilherme -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[1] http://www.openssh.com/windows.html [2] http://www.jfitz.com/tips/ssh_for_windows.html#Should_I_use_SSH_or_a_VPN Hi, Have you ever tried WinSCP? I think that if you just need to copy files, it is quite nice. For SSH there is PuTTY. I don't know if these are exactly what you want though. They are both listed on your [1] reference. WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/download.php PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Hope that helps. Cheers, Guilherme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: A specific Flash audio issue
Hi, I tested your link and I get the same errors you report, but at some point it even becomes ininteligible. I wonder if that's a bug in flash or in the website, since I never had this problem before anywhere else. Cheers, Guilherme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It might be that since he's windows based he updated the recording software and it requires something not yet available on Linux? I don't know. I presume you are not using rt-sources, correct? I am running gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8 on an Intel Core Duo, so maybe its not even because of AMD64... Well, flash has other issues as well on linux, like staying over contents of websites or below it sometimes (the tranparency feature). I hope adobe fixes these issues.

This directory is only meant to be accessible/readable by these two users. I created directory TEST, under /var/www/html. This contains subdirectories TEST1, TEST2, TEST3. Each subdirectory contains other files. I set the permissions recursively to apache:ftp. Both users are members of group ftp. I chmod -R g+w. When I create a new subdirectory and save a file in it I noticed that it is mick:wheel instead of mick:ftp. How do I set it up so that newly created directories/files inherit the parent group ownership? -- You are probably looking for something like newgrp/gpasswd. $ touch foo $ newgrp wheel $ touch bar $ ls -l foo bar -rw-r--r-- 1 amadio wheel 0 2007-10-15 20:39 bar -rw-r--r-- 1 amadio amadio 0 2007-10-15 20:39 foo $ I hope this info was useful.
