I am not really paranoïd, but I work now in a quite important environnement and want any data I get out to be secured... I recommend dm-crypt (a.k.a. cryptsetup-luks). It encrypts the block device under the actual file system. Gentoo wiki has some tutorials on it (although you don't need much of it): [1] [2] If you only want to encrypt your home partition, you only need to follow these steps: 1. Create an encrypted partition (see `man cryptsetup`) 2. Move /home/* over to it (don't forget backup) 3. Configure /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt 4. Add /etc/init.d/dmcrypt to boot runlevel Then the init script will ask you for the password at boot. dm-crypt allows multiple passwords per partition so that different users can have different passwords. The alternative to the dmcrypt init script is to use sys-auth/pam_mount. It allows you to use the login password to automatically decrypt a partition and mount it as /home/$user. [2] has a section about it. However, this breaks easily and is pretty hard to administrate if you have no experience with dm-crypt and pam. I recommend the first solution. [1] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUK S [2] http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/DM-Crypt Regards, Florian Philipp Is this solution (the first one) easily integrated into some environnement (kde) ? I don't want to have numerous password (one for decrypt, one other to open the desktop session as usual...), plus my wife would argue with some reason I am always hacking the computer whereas we are just using it to look movies...

So, the question now becomes: what's the drawback/benefit of NFS-sharing vs HTTP-sharing? The scenario is back-end LAN at the office, thus, a trusted network by definition. HTTP is not really 'sharing'. It is just 'copying'. Clients download the distfiles from the home server to minimise load on the gentoo mirrors. Following the download a client machine will have a local copy of said distfile in the client://usr/distfile. With NFS there is only one copy of the file, on the server, shared by other clients in the LAN. In my case the server is not always on, so NFS would not be appropriate. With NFS, there is only one distfiles repo. So, when someone emerge an unknown program, the distfiles become available to your whole network (if shared of course). I share /mnt/portage (the portage tree on a reiserfs) and /mnt/distfiles (on a ext4 fs). The tree is synced only once also ! It reduce server load (bandwitch on gentoo master server) and your global diskspace used (because repo are mutualized). -- Stéphane Guedon page web : http://www.22decembre.eu/ carte de visite : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.vcf clé publique gpg : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I always was under the impression that NFS is more fault-tolerant on the network because of its usage of stateless UDP connections whereas CIFS usually freezes when the connection is lost. In the end, both issue an IO error, usually crashing an unprepared application. So, in which regard performs CIFS better with interrupted connections? That being said, I always use NFS over TCP because of performance issues with UDP and wireless LAN. Regards, Florian Philipp No, its ok in a fixed network but you get wierd issues like clients hanging on shutdown because the NFS server goes away first, and its an administrative pita when it stops working - could be firewall, something missed in a new kernel etc. Ive been using it for mythtv and diskless systems (NFS over TCP) for quite awhile and its a fight every few months to find out why host x syuddenly doesnt want to play.

[gentoo-user] install two releases of library in parallel

I have jpeg-8b, so I can't be sure about 6b. I just turned on the static-libs USE flag and re-installed jpeg. The only difference is that the 'static' lib /usr/lib/libjpeg.a wasn't there before and it is now, that's all. Is your system trying to upgrade jpeg to a newer version? I notice that 6b doesn't use any USE flags, and the newer versions do use the static-libs flag. (Just re-installing 6b shouldn't complain about USE flags because the package doesn't look for them.) Any program that uses the dynamic libjpeg.so would need to be re-compiled if the version of jpeg changes. If the static library is used instead, the program no longer needs libjpeg.so because the static library is linked into the binary executable at compile-time. The price you pay is a larger binary executable, but you never need to worry about future jpeg version changes. I don't know how portage chooses between static and dynamic libs while building a package. Anyone else know? In fact, static-libs is for jpeg-8b , but Imade a mistake when write the mail...

I call bullsh*t. I've been compiling kernels for 17 years and for the most part have done it as root without any problems. What the author is saying is that, to an extent, in theory no one should compile anything as root, or really do anything non-system-adminly as root. You should only do as root what is critically necessary (e.g. make install) as root. In a perfect, tidy world we'd all do that. This world, however does not exist. Even portage, by default does configure and make as root (albeit in a sandbox so it is safe(r). What the author means is theoretically the config/compile phase could unintentionally cause some kind of harm to your system. In practice I have never seen this or heard of it. The kernel devs are bright enough to ensure that the compilation does nothing outside the source tree itself. It's a good guideline but, like the government's dietary guidelines, not ones I intend to follow religiously. Is sudo (or kdesudo ?) a good replacement to that ? sudo runs things as root, so effectively you've done nothing but add a password prompt to the mix. Gentoo actually makes this a bit more difficult, because usually one uses portage to install the kernel sources, and they get installed as root-owned, and only root has write access to the kernel tree. Some people, such as myself, use kernel sources outside of portage (I follow a git repo) and do so as a non-root user. In this case the kernel tree is not owned by root and the config/compile is easily done as a non-root user. If you are super-paranoid. You can make a non-root copy of /usr/src/linux and compile it as a non-root user. But there really isn't any point in using sudo. It's effectively doing the same thing that you are trying to avoid. I am not paranoid anymore, just asking to knowing persons...

Interesting, but it seems more complex that a simple stanza

used by one application adds unnecessary complication, IMO. If only X
will use the information, I'd prefer to put in in the X configuration
directory.
I agree with you, but I like to make things in order with the rules (without

How? I know how to use udev for device recognition, but how do you tell
it to use a particular keyboard layout?

I think logs are not correctly configured. But according to /etc/mysql/my.cnf, there's only mysqld.err.

Do you have MAKEOPTS set to a high number in make.conf? I ask because in my 'knowing very little mind' I think it is trying to make a link to a file that kdelibs is supposed to be making. It may be trying to link to something that isn't there yet so it failed. If you have that set to 2 or higher, try setting it to 1 and see if that helps. Hope that works. At least it didn't fail at 99%. lol Dale Thanks Dale, I tried with -j1 and it fails with the same libkio.so error. I found a bug about it (324061) and I'm now trying again without ccache. That would be the next thing to try. Most packages can compile with higher than -j1 and with ccache but some can not do so well. I hope it compiles when you disable that. Dale :-) :-) Did you think about changing the python set used ?
