Erm.. this is usually used to prevent users from logging in - I mean, they can log in, but then /bin/true is called, and that allows no interactivity. The users wouldn't be able to call their C++ script. I think it would be better to set the users' shell to /path/to/the/c++/app/the/users/require. This would allow them to log in to the server ONLY use that. Incidentally, `grep -e true -e false /etc/passwd` suggests the Gentoo standard to be to set shell to `/bin/false` for users who should be denied shell access. I thought `/bin/true` was more correct.

Re: [gentoo-user] RE: Users with access to shell!
If sounds to me like he made it clear that they HAD to login to use a c++ script. Probably something he built himself to manage data or something. The quickest, easiest way is to just use chroot jails. They are fairly secure out of the box and chroot is a widely accepted method for securing untrusted clients/servers (such as postfix for example). Just put only what they need in the chroot enviornment and you should be ok. As for monitoring, there is always the bash_history file. You can also install a shell monitor that allows the root user to view a shell in realtime. You can also use the watch command to watch the who list. It's primitive but can be useful. You can also use syslog to do some extra logging similiar to that if bash_history. D. Wokan wrote: Is it possible for them to work with this DB using some client app running on another machine?

[gentoo-user] fallback dns servers
Hello all, I am setting up a way to have my laptop automatically get a correct ip address. When I am at my office, I have a fixed ip; at home (on a private network) I use dhcp. I know I can use quickswitch for that but I want something really automatic, so after some search I ended up with this in my /etc/conf.d/net: iface_eth0=dhcp ifconfig_eth0=( dhcp 194.199.136.151 ) dhcpcd_eth0=-t 30 ifconfig_fallback_eth0=( 194.199.136.151 netmask 255.255.255.0 ) ipaddr_fallback_eth0=( 194.199.136.151 gw 194.199.136.250 ) This works great, but as dhcp overwrites /etc/resolv.conf, when I go back to my fixed ip my dns servers are not the ones I need (still the ones I use at home). My dns names for office are set in /etc/resolv.conf.fac. Is there a way to have the machine know which dns servers to use?

[gentoo-user] How can I make udev play nicely with my palm pilot
I can sync my palm fine using jpilot by hitting sync on the palm, then sync on jpilot. udev creates the nodes (I have set them as /dev/tts/USB0 and /dev/tts/USB1) when the palm sync is run, and deletes them when finished. The problem is that most software (pilot-link, gnome-pilot, ...) seems to expect the nodes to be present all the time - and udev keeps deleting them! Even if I manually create the nodes udev will politely delete them after a sync - causing gnome-pilot to never sync again (until killed/restarted) Manually creating the nodes and commenting out the rule in 50-udev.rules didnt work either (the nodes stayed, just didnt work - no sync).

To sort of encapsulate the process forst make sure you're system is up to date and clean using a command suvch as emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world After that you could use emerge -Cp gnome to remove the top bit of Gnome but none of the underlying package. You can then run emerge -pv --depclean to find things that are no longer needed. Presumably this will include the next portions of gnome. you can remove them using --depclean but make sure that it's not trying to take too much out. If it is addd these other things into your world file. When you've done a bit of work then try revdep-rebuild -p to make sure that dependencies haven't been broken and emerge back in anything that's needed to fix up broken dependencies. when you're all done all three of these commands emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world emerge -pv --depclean revdep-rebuild -p should come out clean and tell you there's no more work to do.

I'd like to take gnome off of my system now but don't want to inadvertently remove needed X packages or libraries. Is there a way to do this? Tia. Hi Cheryl, I've just been going through this sort of thing cleaning up my world file. To sort of encapsulate the process forst make sure you're system is up to date and clean using a command suvch as emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world After that you could use emerge -Cp gnome to remove the top bit of Gnome but none of the underlying package. You can then run emerge -pv --depclean to find things that are no longer needed. Presumably this will include the next portions of gnome. you can remove them using --depclean but make sure that it's not trying to take too much out. If it is addd these other things into your world file. When you've done a bit of work then try revdep-rebuild -p to make sure that dependencies haven't been broken and emerge back in anything that's needed to fix up broken dependencies. when you're all done all three of these commands emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep world emerge -pv --depclean revdep-rebuild -p should come out clean and tell you there's no more work to do.

[gentoo-user] mini pci wireless recomendations
Hi all, I'm needing a mini pci wireless (802.11g) card for my HP/Compaq nx9005 (Athlon 2400+ 512MB RAM). That has a min-PCI slot and a integrated antenna. I know that the prism54 is well supported in Linux, but I couldn't find one mini-PCI with a chipset supported by that driver to buy. So, I found a Intel PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card in Dell's website: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecssku=430-0913spagenum=category_id=brandid=176k=c=usl=encs=19mnf=prst=prEnd=mnfsku=orderby=searchtype=pageb4search=page=productlisting.aspxinstock=refurbished= (hope the link works) It has a very good price, and uses a chipset that I think is supported by Linux (by iwp2200 module, IIRC). But i think it has something to do with the Centrino processor, is it right? Should it work on my notebook? If not, can anyone recommend where to buy a supported mini-PCI 802.11g card that should work on my notebook? Thanks in advance, Mauro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Regarding the error message, it is clear, that the solution would be pointing to my (already installed) mta, which is nbsmtp. But I did not find any hint in internet how I can realise that using emerge. As emerge is the way to install software under Gentoo, I was wondering how other users change options using emerge (if there is a way to do that). The programm needs to be compiled with the following option: ./configure --with-mta=/usr/bin/nbsmtp Is there a way to do that under Gentoo? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Nelly Hi Nelly, It all depends on what you wanna do. Generally speaking there are two main choices for sending a mail. *First* install your own mail-server (sendmail,qmail,postfix) or *second* install some minimal server which will forward the mail to a relayhost/mailhub (your ISP) - ssmtp,nbsmtp etc. Second choice is lot easier as a start. Just read the official gentoo-docs about mail, quite all needed info is there (incl. ssmtp,nbsmtp install, usage). nbsmtp is in portage so you only have to run: emerge nbsmtp -pv then grop the p. You're not *required* to install sendmail to have a working mail setup. Just sharing my experience here (i'm using qmail). HTH. Rumen smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Re: [gentoo-user] The NPTL difference
How do you tell an app to use linuxthreads instead? What is the point of +nptlonly? A more compact installation? A trick to make an app use linuxthreads is set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 in the env your app will run in. Why don't apps set that on their own if they require it? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, Cheryl-- Usually the solution to this is to go to /etc/init.d and remove the script for the offending unmerged program. I'm sure there's some reason that such scripts are not removed by the unmerge, but I don't know what it is. YMMV, but hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What I wonder is: 1) do you have Thunderbird and Firefox set as the default email client/browser in your desktop environment (if GNOME or KDE)? 2) what does mozilla-launcher itself say (what is the unknown browser it's looking for)?

Actually ser2net comes close to what I was thinking about, but they recommend telnet as client. But for my needs I would need a device file at the client computer. Is there any way to get a device file which represents the remote serial port? I have a solution, but it's alpha, and I'm building hardware to solve the problem. I'm using buffered circuits to sniff the serial RS232 connection, and put both half-duplex streams into a microprocessor with 3 serial ports, one for each end of the half-duplex connection (recall 2 half-duplex connections make one normal RS232 full duplex circuit). Then the third serial port will stream the data to another serial port on a pc. At that point you have both streams so you can do as you wish with them. The circuits work, but it requires +12 Vdc and +/- 5Vdc. I'm waiting on the power supply chips to arrive to finish the prototype. Phase 2 is to add an ethernet(realtek 8019) chips to the micro so you don't need a free serial port on a pc to use. It's about 2 months away form being ready for field testing, but, anyone interested could drop me a line or 2 as I'll be looking for beta testers I designed it to reverse engineer (proprietary over RS232) protocols used in industrial environments (vendors in this space are unbelievable pains in the a_ _), but, I'm sure it's gonna have many, many uses. particularly for those with 'inquiring minds'. and RS232 challenges.

[gentoo-user] Moxa and kernel 2.6.11
Hi, I'm trying to make work a moxa smartio c168H/pci card with a kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r8. It comes with a different driver version than previous 2.4 kernel series, which I've been using for a long time without problems so I'm sure it's ok. I could compile and load mxser module, /dev nodes were created and minicom seems to send ATs commands to the modems but they does not answer anything to the terminal. Even though TR led lights when modems receives DTR signal from computer. It's like when software and device DTE speed mismatch and the terminal doesn't works, but I could check it with msmon utility (provided by original moxa driver package), and they are sets with the right DTE speed. Despite I proved all DTE speed options and always get nothing. The mxser original driver from moxa website behave the same way than patched version that comes with linux kernel. I couldn't find any similar problem on Internet and I can't do anything with source code (no matter I know C language), because I have no idea about linux kernel programming. I'm wondering if my kernel configuration gets in conflict in some way the normal mxser functionality. Maybe, due to it's udev only or some pci setup or driver. I need an idea. greetings Jose A. R.
