[gentoo-user] PAM problem
Hi all, and a happy nerw year! My problem with PAM has several manifestations: 1/ I cannot login as root (I know I should not do that btw): Login incorrect (but I know my root password!) 2/ Using sudo su as a user: 12:32 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/jean % sudo su Password: su : Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.

Yes, you guessed right again: it is a Dell latitude x1, and I followed the
howto of the gentoo-wiki, which says:
.
If you use GCC 3.4.3, there is no pentium-m arch, you need to use
pentium3. Using GCC 3.4.3 or later, you might want to try
-march=pentium-m. Those CFLAGS are known to be safe:
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium3 -pipe -mfpmath=sse
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
.
But I had forgotten to make the change when switching to gcc-3.4. Now I
did it...
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] Strange feature in eix
Hi all, Using eix for some time (at least a year now), I discovered today (eix-0.5.5) a very strange feature which and in less perfect world than gentoo's might perhaps qualify as a bug. If I type eix package and the package is unstable (or has unstable versions) and appears as such in the gentoo database, I expect to see it -for the unstable versions- in eix's output: the man page says so anyway; but this happens only if I have not marked the package with ~x86 in *my* /etc/portage/package.keywords file. If I mark the package (with ~x86) eix tells me : * app-editors/emacs-cvs Available versions: 22.0.50-r1 22.0.50-r2 [M]23.0.0 Installed: 22.0.50-r2 Homepage:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs Description: Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. and this is a *big lie* (works with any package apparently). Or is it intended? -- Jean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] wireless problem
Hello all,
Using a Dell latitude x1, dual-boot with w$ xp; on my campus they have a
wireless network which I can access with my mail login and password. It
works without a problem on w$.
On my gentoo I installed wpa_supplicant with the following item in
the conf file:
network={
ssid=Universite Paul Cezanne
identity=mylogin
password=mypassword
priority=5
}
Here mylogin and password are also (of course) what I enter to access the
network when on w$.
When I type iwconfig I obtain this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:Universite Paul Cezanne
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:12:DA:AE:5A:50
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=91/100 Signal level=-37 dBm Noise level=-80 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:5350 Missed beacon:0
Seems to indicate I am actually connected?
But then I can't access the network (firefox doesn't find anything).
Maybe it the identity/password which is not correct?
Thanks for any help,

Should I add a script in /etc/init.d for that, or is there something simpler? cheers, I don't think that you can get it done *BEFORE* net.eth0 is run. Gentoo needs to run net.eth0 to set up the network connection. Then it has to query ifconfig to find out what the situation is. I think what you need is to correct resolv.conf if you are at the office. The official Gentoo way to do this would be an init script. I recommend the following... 1) If local is not already in the default runlevel, execute... etc-update add local default 2) In /etc/conf.d/local.start add the following lines if ifconfig eth0 | grep 194\.199\.136\.151 /dev/null ; then cp /etc/resolv.conf.fac /etc/resolv.conf fi *IMPORTANT*. You must *COPY* /etc/resolv.conf.fac. If you symlink it to /etc/resolv.conf, then the next time dhcp overwrites /etc/resolv.conf it will be overwriting /etc/resolv.conf.fac Thanks a lot Walter; this is exactly what I needed. I made a test without any internet connection, and the eth0 address as well as the /etc/resolv.conf file had the right (office) values, coming back with my home dhcp connection eveything's OK.
