[gentoo-user] OT: how do I kick a MAC address off my hostapd WiFi network?
I have my WiFi network on a hostapd controlled 10.10.10.* range and my wired LAN on a 192.168.1.* range. I try to be a nice guy and leave the WiFi 'open' (no WEP) as it's segregated and I use some proper shorewall rules to route things nicely for my various privileged devices. Also, some WiFi devices I have just don't support WEP, and it's a real hassle to get others working with WEP. I don't mind the occasional person jumping on to check movie times or traffic or get email or whatever. I think bandwidth should be free for everyone and it is sure a life saver when you need to quickly get online for something. Anyways, sometimes I have stupid neighbors who don't quite get it and will just blindly let their computers connect to my WAP. UGH! They sit on it for hours and days and generally piss me off. How can I boot someone off my network?

Hi Volker, i'm attaching my kernel .config. As you can see all the ACPI related points are enabled. posting your config? make menuconfig and reading the help-text to all the acpi-options? Thanks, i've found fancontrol, but since the laptop lacks some chipset to control the fan itself, the /etc/fancontrol is not created. I've realized that the temperature given in the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature is more or less random at a given machine startup and it does not change while the machine is on. When it start at a temperature above 60C, the fan starts (and never switch off) but the cores temperature remains low (~35C). If it's 0C or 50C or something below this threshold, the fan does not switch on and the core temp increases up to 100C. It would be nice to be able to link the fan control directly with the coretemp and not with the ACPI thermal zone m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It turned out to be something really simple, though still weird. Read below.

So this is my .bashrc: [[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] source $HOME/.loginscript When I decided to comment the above call to $HOME/.loginscript, everything worked ok.

[gentoo-user] Xorg won't use my TFT monitor as screen 0
Hi, I recently bought a new TFT monitor. I used to have 2 CRT monitors with an nvidia graphics card. I configured Xorg to use two separate screens and *not* twin-view. When I replaced the monitor that used to be screen 0 with the new TFT monitor Xorg cannot use it as screen 0 any more. And the placement of the screen seems weird. All applications starts about 200x200px to the left and above the desktops. When maximizing an application it fits into a (estimated) 1024x768 window. No matter how I configure X it just doesn't seem to work. Attaching my xorg.conf Also, I recently had some issues with java+firefox.

[gentoo-user] Portage through a proxy

Re: [gentoo-laptop] Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)
Hi Beso, sorry i misunderstood your suggestion. I did what you suggest and this is the result of the trip_points: critical (S5): 100C which i suppose is the reason why at that temperature the laptop switch off. So, nothing except for the critical state. Should i have to add there something? An additional problem is this: doing a $ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature it gives only a: temperature: 0C My question is: even if i change the polling frequency, how the fan can start if the temperature gives 0?? Do you know if it's possible to link the fan start with the core temperature instead of the ACPI thermal zone? Regards, m thats why i told you to do this commanda: echo 2 seconds /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/polling:frequency this enables the polling of your thermal every 2 seconds. this should be enough. do you have the other file that i mentioned: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/trip_points ?! this sets the trip points for your processor. whitout it you governor cannot understand what to do even if it polls right. as for the kernel thigs, set these options: select processor type: intel core2 instead of normal x86 CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO=y instead of m CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y instead of m CONFIG_MICROCODE=y instead of m (for what i know cpu micocode is needed on intels) CONFIG_K8_NUMA=n instead of y (this should be the amdk8 numa, that you should not need. if it's not then let him be) CONFIG_X86_MCE_AMD=n instead of y (you don't need amd mce features since they are not included into intel cpus) CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32 -- this leaves me a little dazzled: do you really have 32 cpus in your core?! for what i know this sets the real number of cpus inside the kernel, but i might be wrong. so if this is really what i think it is, ie the real nr of cpus (not virtual ones) set this to 2 or 4 based on your cpu cores. CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n instead of y (i don't really think that you'll unplug your cpu from your laptop when the laptop is still running considering that you don't use multi cpus but a single multicore cpu. the same goes for memory hotplug: i don't think that your laptop supports it, so just disable it.) for what i have seen the acpi problems may be due to a failure in loading the intel speedstep module. if you look into the modules loaded (lsmod) you should not see it. so it's better to insert it directly in the kernel, since it is one of the first modules called (if you use it as a module you should be loading it with initramdisk before loading acpi to have a full acpi configuration). try setting these options and recompile and install the new kernel and modules and reboot (kexec is not working on my amd turion with 64bit enabled and so may also be for your core2duo). 2007/10/10, Marco Calviani [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry i missed the attachment. regards, m -- dott. ing. beso -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Since you mention Google, I remember reading about a NASA style AP authentication which may be of interest to the OP: Essentially you run a web server with SSL authentication so that only users who authenticate with user name/passwd that you have provided, are issued with an IP address by your dhcp server. In this way you can control who's using your bandwidth; what they use it for; e.g. only mail; or mail http; etc. If you are interested in providing this as a service then you issue usernames/passwds to applicants via email. Additionally, you can run QoS and throttle http, or bitorrent (ab)users, a proxy caching server, and what not. PS. Where I live I have to pay for bandwidth (although where I currently work I don't). So your concept of offering bandwidth for free seems somewhat strange to me. Furthermore, I would be concerned what different people may be using the Internet for and what trouble I could get into, for being the registered owner of the particular public IP address.

[gentoo-user] Problems after long-due emerge -uDN world
Hi, I did an update last week-end after not doing one since the spring (I know, naughty me _). Aside from the really horrible libexpat update which took me most of the weekend to fix, I'm having some behaviour issues now, with which I would greatly appreciate help in fixing. First, my alt key seems not to work properly. It works fine in regular programs (e.g. alt-f in firefox pulls down the file menu properly), but not for wm or X-related things. For example, I can no longer use ctrl-alt-fx to change to a VT from with X. Control-alt-backspace _does_ work, and I can switch to a VT if I do it quick before before it finishes restarting, at which point the shortcut works fine until I get back into the X display. With my wm (xfwm), the keyboard shortcut settings program will detect the alt key fine when I'm setting shortcuts, but any shortcut involving alt will not work when I actually try to use it. The normal alt-drag to move windows and such doesn't work either. The second problem is that all of my fonts in X are suddenly a couple sizes too big. If I run xrandr --dpi 75 the font sizes go back to normal in programs I start afterward. I followed the dpi guide on gentoo-wiki, but no DisplaySize setting in my xorg.conf seems to make a difference. I see the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log when I try setting DisplaySize to 346 260: ... (**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (346, 260) mm (**) intel(0): DPI set to (75, 100) ... (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 203 ... This suggests to me that my settings are getting overruled somehow. I am using x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.0 with x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2. Any advice would be appreciated. Henk Boom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] OT: how do I kick a MAC address off my hostapd WiFi network?
-Original Message- I was wondering what would happen if someone downloaded some music illegally or some child porn? How would you prove it was them and not you? Being a good neighbor is nice but you need to be careful for sure. Dunno. I suppose I'd show some logs from the DHCPd server or HostAPd or something that showed the MAC addresses used at that particular time of the infraction? How do Coffee shops handle that? They have open WiFi -- many of them (here in Seattle at least), you can just jump on from anywhere. Hell there are about 12 WAP right here in my building that I can see and several are not WEP or WPA. When our network goes down, sometimes I just jump on them. :) Besides, most sites that actually LET you download these days require some sort of login anyways. So that hypothetical person in your scenario would have that on their computer, whereas I would not. ;-p I don't really think about it too much. I've thought about setting up a hotel page type system, but it's just one more thing I don't have time to futz with. If push came to shove, I'd just start blacklisting ALL MAC's (or I should say whitelisting *my* MACs actually). I'd really like to be part of a mesh, but where I live I'm in the middle of suburbia.

Furthermore, I would be concerned what different people may be using the Internet for and what trouble I could get into, for being the registered owner of the particular public IP address. That said, I would looove being your neighbor! :) I was wondering what would happen if someone downloaded some music illegally or some child porn? How would you prove it was them and not you? Being a good neighbor is nice but you need to be careful for sure. Just a thought. Dale :-) :-) :-) It all depends in what country you live in. In Canada you can download/upload all the music you want legally,( we've paid for it ten times over via a levy against all recording media) as for illegal material, if its not on your computer, its not in your possession.

Re: [gentoo-user] Portage through a proxy

I use my laptop both at home and at work, I have a script that sets the $http_proxy env variable depending on where I am, and I would like to have emerge use that value. I have tried setting http_proxy in make.conf to $http_proxy but that did not work. Portage uses wget by default, and wget respects $http_proxy. According to /etc/make.conf.example # Fetching files # == # # If you need to set a proxy for wget or lukemftp, add the appropriate # export ftp_proxy=proxy and export http_proxy=proxy lines to # /etc/profile if all users on your system should use them. Just to expand on this a bit, the /etc/make.conf file probably needs to define the rsync proxy too, although you can use websync. For all my proxy work I use Squid. To this end I use the following lines in the named files: /etc/make.conf http_proxy=http://localhost:8080; ftp_proxy=http://localhost:8080; RSYNC_PROXY=localhost:8080 /etc/wget/wgetrc http_proxy = http://localhost:8080/ ftp_proxy = http://localhost:8080/ no_proxy = .local /etc/squid/squid.conf acl SSL_ports port 443 563 873 # 873 for rsync acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync Note that the above are just extracts from the configuration files, not the complete things. Note also that I allow my Gentoo boxes to query each other's /usr/portage/distfiles before downloading from a mirror, and my internal top-level domain name is .local; as a result, wget is told to bypass the proxy on such connections. Moreover, the above were taken from the machine that runs Squid, which is why all the proxy connections use localhost. On other machines, the domain name of the proxy server is memphis.local. -- Regards Dave [RLU#314465] == [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David W Noon) == -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

MAC addresses can be spoofed, and, i've been convinced, sniffed out very easily. MAC address filterning isn't safe, but does make sure anyone abusing your net the way we're talking about here uses your mac addresses and not their own. on the other hand, you could make them digitally agree to a user agreement and I bet that would go a long way in court. I've been wondering about this too. I'm trying to think of a way to integrate a webpage with server routing and such. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
