Yet the funny thing is, when cron runs jobs as normal user, it still actually sends the mail to root (see /etc/crontab).You seem to be contradicting yourself here; first you say user cron jobsdon't send mail, then you say they send mail to root. Which is it? Well I'm not contradicting myself intentionally... I should have been more clear. I'll do a better job this time:Cron is trying to send out an email for jobs run as user root to and succeeding. Cron is also trying to send out an email for jobs run as a normal user but it seems to fail at this. Both cron jobs (whether run as user root or normal user) are both trying to send the email to the root user. Either way, the solution may be to set MAILTO in your user's crontab. I could try this, although I as I said it seems like both jobs run as root and normal user are both being sent to user root (according to the MAILTO) Hmm, it turns out that setting MAILTO=root in my own user's crontab makes it send mail. MAILTO=root is already in /etc/cron/crontab by the way so this is all very strange.-- David Grant http://www.davidgrant.ca

I decided ssmtp might be the problem, so I isolated it and tried this:1. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp to external [EMAIL PROTECTED]2. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to root root3. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to david david4. echo test |mail -s testing ssmtp mail to sarah sarah 1. The first one worked. So ssmtp can send to external addresses fine. 2. The second one worked. So ssmtp can look at the root= command (which tells it where to send mail to user ids 1000) properly and send to whatever root= is set to.3. The third one didn't work. So for some reason I can't send mail to a normal user. But maybe something is weird with that user. I used to run a mail server on this machine with that user (postfix/procmail/blah/blah/blah) so maybe some leftover thing was screwing things up. 4. Sending mail to this user didn't work either. The users in 3. and 4. are both in /etc/ssmtp/revaliases. User 3 is in the 'mail' group (does that even matter) and I tried user 4. with and without that user in the revaliases file. It looks like maybe ssmtp isn't seeing my revaliases file?

[gentoo-user] Deleted /var/lib/portage/config
I accidentally deleted /var/lib (I meant to delete /var/lib/mysql). The only damage seems to be the deletion of /var/lib/portage/config and /var/lib/portage/mysql I'm not worried about world, I can easiliy fix that over time by running emerge -p --depclean and adding world entries. There are probably only about 10 packages anyways because this is a mythtv box. But what is config all about?

[gentoo-user] Re: glibc completed screwed my system
A very small step in the right direction...I unzipped the quickpkg I made into the /mnt/gentoo and now I am able to chroot in there. If I try to re-emerge glibc-2.3.6 though it complains that downgrading is a sure way to destruction. I'm pretty sure it would be safe for me to downgrade because I didn't really do much of anything after installing 2.4 so I'm not sure what the problem would be. The problem is that it still think 2.4 is installed. Ah, here we go. emerge -C =glibc-2.4* worked fully this time (it didn't work fully before, which I forgot to mention). Now it will let me re-emerge =glibc-2.3* overtop of the quickpkg that I unpacked. I am also not compiling with nptlonly (which came in to my profile through 2006.1), so it is now emerging with the exact same use flags that it was before (and the same as what the quickpkg is made from). So hopefully everything will be cool and I will be able to reboot into this machine (I couldn't even boot into it after this b0rking happend). Dave On 9/1/06, David Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's what I did: I have sticking with gcc-3.x for now... I wanted to upgraded glibc to 2.4.

Now my whole system is b0rked. I can't even chroot in because it can't run /bin/sh or /bin/bash on the new system. Basically all binaries are screwed on the new system.

On 9/1/06, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David Grant davidgrant at gmail.com writes: If anyone can help me I'm desperate to save this system and not have to reinstall. Well, I have lost xwindows/kde on (2) systems because of an upgrade of make.profile to point to 2006.1. I'm sure glibc was part of the problem. A third syxtem, an amd64, sits just slobering and drooling about; it will not even allow ls or cat to run. so I'm not so sure this one can be saved without a re-installation. It'd sure been nice if there was a little bit more detail on this, problem and recovery options. I've googled for links that help, but found nothing. So how is the new 2006.1 liveCD working these days? I'm soon to find out, on at least one system, maybe (3), Any ideas on recovery mechanisms, for this make.profile/glibc problem are most welcome.. I think I'll just drink (quite a lot) and read this list to see how the smarter half of this list dance around these pending upgrades. I'm quite sure it's my fault, I just do not have the fortitude to fight through another twisted hack-fest of a weekend. Well all I can say is that without my quickpkg I would probably have been screwed. Although there is still one other thing I could have done. I could have grabbed a quickpkg of glibc from another box (although that box has the newest glibc so actually that wouldn't have worked). It would probably be possible to find someone on the mailing list with similar hardware and the correct version of glibc that you want and they could send you the glibc quickpkg'd up for you. Here is pretty much the bug as I experienced it: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125868 You can see detail there on how I solved it.
