[gentoo-user] shorewall: which kernel options/modules
Hi, does someone exactly know which options/modules are required for shorewall? I'm about to do a three-interface configuration, one of the interfaces being a bridge. I couldn't find any documentation for recent kernels and don't like the idea of enabling featuures that aren't required. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.

[gentoo-user] How to automate an sshfs (fusermount) mounted share
I'm sshfs mounting an solaris zfs file system in the interactive fashion. sshfs $USR@HOST:/file/system MOUNTPOINT passwd? enter passwd RETURN Once mounted I run an rsnapshot backup onto the mounted FS. Any ideas on how to go about doing this mount automatically (scripted) will be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on how to go about doing this mount automatically (scripted) will be greatly appreciated. 1) Set up your ssh to use keys. Key itself should not be protected by password (or manual intervention will be needed on each mount). 2) Add sshfs command to your .bash_profile (or whatever login shell you're using) with check that filesystem is not mounted already, something like: grep -q $MOUNTPOINT || sshfs $USR@HOST:/file/system MOUNTPOINT Alternatively you may add this to your DE/WM autostart scripts, if you are using GUI logins only.

I compiled it from source and found out that it cannot display PDFs so well and gives error messages about not being able to find fonts. Pdfpc isn't a good alternative. For advanced actions (e.g. pdf notes editing, pdf fields editing, work with pdf indexes and so on) I use evince. When I need something simple (e.g. to read pdf books) I use mupdf. Another bonus of mupdf is unlimited scale of pdf pages (limited only by available memory). This is really handy when handling huge pdf pages (e.g. some schemes, graphs) with very small fonts, so large zoom is required to made them readable; evince can't handle such issues.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to automate an sshfs (fusermount) mounted share
Iirc you may need to initiate a single regular ssh connection so you can accept the servers key and have it added to the clients known hosts file, first.

I got to the point where it claimed that matching support isn't enabled, though it was. There seem to be different implementations of the firewall stuff, and I had to enable it at another place. These billions of network options seem like quite a mess ... Now I probably have enabled a lot of things I don't need. At least it's working :) -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
