[gentoo-user] Is there a way to increase the number of external (all imap) accounts in evolution?
Evolution looks like it can handle only 5 external imap accounts plus local. It attempts to use the extra account (I need 6), but tries to disable one account (sometimes only partially succeeds) - often the one I just added, but sometimes another. Is there a way to increase the number of external (all imap) accounts? The server end where the bulk of the accounts sit is courier-imap on gentoo, the other is wu-imap on solaris (I think). The client (two of) are both on gentoo, remote to the imap servers. BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Get rid of PAM?
I have been using Linux for a couple years but am a newbie to Gentoo. I am very concerned about the security of an OS. It is one of the reasons I switched to Linux. On another gentoo newsgroup I made a comment about deleting pam because I believed it was causing a problem with logins to KDE. I was severely reprimanded for such a careless attitude towards security. I am a home user and may have anywhere from 1-3 computers on my home network. I do not run any servers open to the net. I have read a couple comments in this newsgroup about how pam is not needed for a user such as myself and in fact can cause problems. 1. Could someone explain why pam would not be needed? Is relying on permissions, passwords, and firewall adequate? Which problems may result for using pam? 2. I already have pam installed. What is the cleanest way to remove it without having any residual hiccoughs. Thanks for taking the time to answer some basic newbie questions.

If you look at 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 the NVidia AGP support clearly says Nforce/Nforce2. My suspicion is that the AGP chipset support for this chipset (NForce4) isn't in the kernel yet and that we need to find a patch, or possibly look at a kernel.org kernel for like 2.6.13/14/15, etc. and find one that does.

RE: [gentoo-user] Get rid of PAM?
On another gentoo newsgroup I made a comment about deleting pam because I believed it was causing a problem with logins to KDE. I was severely reprimanded for such a careless attitude towards security. I am a home user and may have anywhere from 1-3 computers on my home network. I do not run any servers open to the net. I have read a couple comments in this newsgroup about how pam is not needed for a user such as myself and in fact can cause problems. Jerry, I've got a situation similar to yours. I'm using pam with kde and not having any issues at all, even across boxen. Rather than looking at your world as how do I remove pam?, why not look at it as if it's not broke don't fix it.

For the rest, you'll have a lot of compilation time due to an relative slow processor, but your RAM will make it with the CD install and if you have a link you don't even need a networkless install.

I was severely PAM has been known to cause pain and suffering at unexpected times. 1. Could someone explain why pam would not be needed? Is relying on permissions, passwords, and firewall adequate? Which problems may result for using pam? PAM is pluggable authentication module. It deals with passwords and permissions. It is useful because it provides a unified framework for dealing with such things, i.e., programs can do authentications/permissions without worrying about the implementation. With PAM, you can do cool tricks like implementing biometrics for an entire system without having to resort to adding support for biometrics for every single service. With that said, if you are only running home computers with no servers open to the outside world, you should only have a minimal number of programs that use authentication: login, or perhaps an ssh daemon that only opens to the intranet. You don't necessarily need PAM. The biggest problem I've heard is PAM creating a permissions hell in /dev. But usually that's due to bad configuration between PAM and udev. If done right, PAM shouldn't cause problems. But, for me, I decided to remove PAM after the following happened: One day, I ran emerge --update world. That included a PAM update. Two nights later, a power failure in my dorm power cycled the computer. The morning the day after, I cannot login on the Console. For no good reason whatsoever, console login always tells me it failed. BUT... I can still ssh to my box and login correctly. After some digging around in the logs, it seems that some things moved around in the PAM world and one particular module was renamed (or removed?). But one of the modules that used it, the one that is called when I try to login on the console, was not updated. So everytime I try to login, the module executes to the point where the missing module is, craps out, and tells me I can't login. For months after that, I was extremely careful whenever I update ANYTHING that has to do with authentication, and ALWAYS checked the PAM directories to make sure the modules are sane. Eventually I just got rid of it altogether. 2. I already have pam installed. What is the cleanest way to remove it without having any residual hiccoughs. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Remove_PAM Follow it exactly. If you miss a step, you might have to whip out a liveCD the next time your reboot to get into your systems.

I'm looking at the Asus User Guide, p xi, in the box, Chipset: NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb the kernel yet and that we need to find a patch, or possibly look at a kernel.org kernel for like 2.6.13/14/15, etc. and find one that does. Assuming that there isn't a patch then we get in line with the kernel developers and work to get one done. I had this problem with my laptop when I first got it and couldn't get DMA for the ATI cipset. It took between 30 and 60 days as I remember. This is all new territory for me.

Re: [gentoo-user] sudo
You also need to install vim because you have to edit the /etc/sudoers
file in order to add a user name. If you display the sudoers file ('cat
sudoers') it will tell you that the file *must* be edited by the visudo
command as root.
exaggeration... that is certainly the safe way to do it, but unless I'm
mistaken, only really dangerous if you have lots of people logging
in/you can't tell the other people not to do so while you are editing
it. vipw stopped working for some strange reason and I have never looked
back :-).
Certainly BETTER to do it that way, no denying that!

[gentoo-user] attempt at using new nvidia drivers

I've had pretty good luck with ATI before. Anyway, I'm going right down the same path you're having trouble with so we're still in this together. It would be thread hijacking to start another conversation about why NVidia is considered 'more open source'. It seems to me that when I emerge nvidia-kernel it doesn't build the driver from source so what's the difference? I do agree from the one NVidia card I got last week (AGP 4X for about $40) that NVidia installed easily and works well, but since I got the ATI fglrx driver working on my laptop I'm getting about 2X the glxgears results (meaningly) vs. what I'm getting from the NVidia. Anyway, I'm not worried about that as my use is audio recording and 3D gaming is but a 30 minute break time occurance here. Here's my guess. If you look at 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 the NVidia AGP support clearly says Nforce/Nforce2. My suspicion is that the AGP chipset support for this chipset (NForce4) isn't in Whoa! NForce4?! What about 2, 3? I'm looking at the Asus User Guide, p xi, in the box, Chipset: NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb You're right. Sorry. This is all new territory for me. for us... ;-) UPDATE: did a sync and was able to emerge the new ati-drivers. This time fglrx.ko *was* generated and is loaded at boot. But now I get $startx (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found # faq says ignore OK, since the device probably has two outputs for dual screens the system found them both. Look at lspci and you'll probably see devices at PCI:1:0:0 PCI:1:0:1 If the xorgconfig program put a line in somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf telling the system that a screen or device was BusID 1:0:0 then (I guess...) that it's complaining because there isn't some similar version for the second device. Try commenting out the one that is there and then I think the system will accept the definition for both devices.

Have you loaded both of the modules? (modprobe agpgart and [[POSSIBLY - I'M GUESSING]] agp-amd64) (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP Again because it's still not happy about the way the kernel part of the AGP stuff is built or installed apparently.

Re: [gentoo-user] sub-net 0.0.0.0
[snip] Not sure what hardware you have around, but if you don't have a crossover cable do you at least have a hub or switch? If you do, just disable DHCP temporarilly on your PC and manually set the IP address to 192.168.0.2, set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 and netmask to 255.255.255.0 and plug the PC and router device into the same hub/switch. This method has worked for me in the past when I have a router with a preset address that needed to be changed. You are right, setting the gateway to anything that 192.168.0.1 solved the problem like 192.168.0.2. I can not have the gateway set to 192.168.0.1 as the device I'm trying to access is hard coded to this IP.

* Have up to five thumbnails in one row
* Use Gallery as title for the index pages
* Be quiet. Don't produce any output on SDTOUT

* Thumbnails are scalled to 100 pixels
* Images are scaled to 800 pixels
* Short descriptions in the index page
* The default template will be used
I believe my troubles are arising from the fact that a required
package (Gimp::Module) is not present on my system. It appears to be
the tool that creates the templates.
So far I've been unsuccessfull installing it via cpan as reported in
previous post.
emerge gimp-perl
On the templates, I think the missing default template is an
installation error.
I looked thru the perl script and did not see any special handling for
default.
The $P{template} is just initialized to 'default'. On
http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/templates.html, only two templates are
mentioned, monochrome and oldstyle. Then some instruction on how to modify
the templates. My guess is the author intends for you to link
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default to your preferred template. Example:
ln -s /usr/lib/bbgallery/template/default
/usr/lib/bbgallery/template/monochrome
In summary the ebuild is probably missing the gimp-perl dependency
and performing the default template link.
