when you press reboot the shell process dies, so it doesn't save the
history. if you want to save history you have to exit the shell and then
login and enter reboot, or press ctrl+alt+del.
check out also the history command in bash ('help history'). it has some
commands to write or append the current history to a file (I never used
it, just looked at the man page).
if it works you can have alias to 'history -a $HISTFILE

I don't require ingress or IMQ support, just standard egress. If you're using shorewall for iptables, you can configure tc through it.

They contain the basic system in a few different configurations called stages. Current practice I believe is to use stage-3 even though others may be there. You are expected to have a working basic install first then you can get the portage tree (all the goodies you are asking about) installed and updated fairly effortlessly. Installation is well covered on gentoo.org under a documentation link with Installation in the title (don't remember off hand exact name) Browse thru that a bit and you'll have an idea how to do it. Its not the same as binary distributions like Fedora, mandrake etc. There are no ready made packages to just stick in other than the base install (stage-3). Every thing is compiled on gentoo.

1) I emerged rosegarden (and dependancies) successfully. But there
was no sound and no documentation. No man rosegarden and when I hit

running Blackbox, and no, I don't want to build KDE in all its bloated
glory, thank you.

2) I unmerged rosegarden (and dependancies), and tried lilypond. It
dies when doing the emerge on lilypond itself. I ran
emerge lilypond logfile 21 and got the following output in logfile...
If you just want to edit a stinking midi file, then lilypond has no

I tried this: --snip-- iptables -A SSH_Brute_Force -p tcp -j TARPIT After I type the last command typed I got this error message: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name What am I doing wrong? Hi Erik The standard Gentoo-sources kernel does not include the TARPIT target. You need to pick up an updated kernel iptables source from netfilter.org, and install it as follows: I assume you have a subversion client already installed on your machine. cd /usr/src Pick up patch-o-matic-ng: svn co https://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/trunk/patch-o-matic-ng Pick up iptables source code: svn co https://svn.netfilter.org/netfilter/trunk/iptables Install kernel patches to iptables extra code cd patch-o-matic-ng ./runme extra Here you can select the targets/filters (e.g TARPIT) you want patching into the kernel iptables modules. After installing patches you must regenerate your kernel and modules to activate the patches, and then re-emerge iptables to pick up the kernel patches. make menuconfig make make modules_install make install Make sure that you have USE=extensions in your /etc/make.conf before you emerge iptables, or it will ignore the new non-standard extensions. emerge iptables This worked for me.

[gentoo-user] modest mail server for home network

I have become very confused by the various howtos. Even the gentoo ones, which on other subjects are usually very good, in this case assume an awful lot of arcane knowledge and also say preposterous things, such as that xyz server is easy to set up when it quite plainly isn't. I have spent way to much time trying to get courier running only to find that (a) it doesn't work and (b) it doesn't seem to be able to fetch mail from an external server. I then installed fetchmail, but can't find any howtos on installing it as a service, or any clear explanation of how it plays alongside courier or any other imap server. The absolute #1 consideration is that the system must be easy to set up and easy to move to another machine when the time comes. smtp is not important at the moment because the isp smtp service usually works.

I then installed fetchmail, but can't find any howtos on installing it as a service, or any clear explanation of how it plays alongside courier or any other imap server. From man fetchmail: The --daemon interval or -d interval option runs fetchmail in daemon mode. You must specify a numeric argument which is a polling interval in seconds. Two things that may help searching for that sort of thing in the future: 1) services as you know them on Windows are referred to as daemons on Linux/UNIX and 2) if you are in man or less, / (forward slash) begins a search, and then n repeats the search (after typing it and hitting enter). The absolute #1 consideration is that the system must be easy to set up and easy to move to another machine when the time comes. smtp is not important at the moment because the isp smtp service usually works. Unfortunately, what you describe is not a simple or common setup, so easy to set up may be a difficult goal to accomplish. Also, fetchmail expects an SMTP service to which it can deliver the mail it receives. It seems to me that the minimum you need are: an SMTP server, a POP3 server, and fetchmail. You could probably get by the simplest by creating system actual users on the Gentoo mailserver box for each of the people in your scenario and setting up fetchmailconfs in each user's home directory. Then use the most basic SMTP and POP3 servers you can find (ssmtp may even work). Ironically, I've never set up such a simple configuration, so I can't guide you much further than that.
