Re: [gentoo-user] What MTA to use to receiving mail for local users?

However, I need to temporarily set up an SMTP server to accept incoming mail from the Internet for local users. It is not going to handle sending of email, and I need it _not_ to install something as /usr/bin/sendmail (that's already taken by msmtp). It doesn't need to handle queueing, relaying, or anything other than acting as an SMTP server and delivering mail locally to mbox or maildir destinations. What's the easiest/simplest MTA to set up for that? sendmail? (No... just no.) qmail? (Seems a bit overly complex for my use case). postfix? exim? It's been a long time since I've used either postfix or exim, but I don't remember either of them being too complex to configure. I'm guessing that Portgage is going to object to installing both msmtp and postfix/exim, so I'll probably have to build the rx-only MTA from sources and install it in a non-standard location? Maybe I should just write a simple SMTP server in Python. [That's actually a lot easier than it sounds. Python's standard library has an smtpd class that's pretty simple to use.] well, IMHO postfix is pretty easy to setup up. While sendmail is a complete nightmare. Agreed. Postfix is about as simple as defining MYDESTINATION and you are good to go Eximqmail - never touched those. isn't qmail abandonware? Either that or Dan considers is 100% bug free and not in need of maintenance.Plus it has that horrible license. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com -- Carlos Sura.- www.carlossura.com www.carlossura.com/blog

Re: [gentoo-user] SystemD + Gnome 3.8 I can log in as root but not as normal user
Update: I was desperate trying to rebuild everything or reinstalling or whatever idea I had. So, my logic said: if root works why others users wont?, then I decided to create another user, and guess what? it worked. So I removed my user and then created a new one and it worked. Yeah this is fine and great that worked, but I would like to know: Why? Thanks.

I suspect your choices are wl (which I don't think is in kernel) and the staging driver brcmsmac (because the mac80211 does not work with Broadcom's proprietary ieee80211 stack). You are right, my chipset uses unsopported LCN PHY. but, in my old kernel never happened this, that's why I'm more interested in know more about this issue. I'm on ~AMD64 this is my emerge --info : http://tinypaste.com/5ee0e0a4 Also, I forgot to mention, my old kernel was working fine, when I tried to use the old config, it was not working, so I have to deactive some things in the new kernel (related to the wireless card) I will send it in the next email.

Anyone know if they are as wonderful as they sound? If you are using ISP DNS and it is slow, or hijacking domains like search engines, and if you like your DNS to be a content filter, then sure. :) Google DNS is similar thing. Personally I just run unbound on my PC and don't want it to block any look-ups anyway. Or, in my case, all ISPs in my country are required to use a DNS server called Nawala that performs web censorship. And, as one would expect, that totally breaks DNSSEC. Not to mention making DNS resolves becoming very slow. So, I used Google DNS and the famous 4.2.2.[1-6] servers. Rgds, I am using OpenDNS in my Home Network, besides of going faster, I can block certains websites for my little brothers and in my work, we use it to prevent people to use IM and such things. I don't have problems with my ISP, nothing to complaint, but using OpenDNS seems to go a little bit faster. Anyway, you may want to take a look by yourself.

The reason is quite simple and most sane ISPs will do it that way. rDNS is NOT your A records in reverse, and you have no right of access to the zone. in-addr.arpa serves an entirely different purpose, it documents the layout of the ISPs address space. Your 5 IPs have not been delegated to you and you do not own them per whois, they still belong to your ISP and are merely recorded in the ISP record as assigned for your use. Therefore the ISP will use their own documentation standards to determine what is in the rDNS zone. Additionally, delegating out a /29 is a gigantic pain in the arse and leads to an unmaintainable mess in very short order (so says the poor sucker that's had to fix it...). At work we never sub-delegate out rDNS to customers; but we do do it for downstream re-sellers as they are ISPs in the in own right. So your ISP is quite correct in what they are saying. However, I would like to see a clarification of what your support contact means when he says do it manually - that doesn't make any sense -- Alan McKinnon Hello Alan McKinnon, Thank you for your answer, I get you now you explained everything I needed to know.

Maybe someone else can tell us. I can suggest a few things to check, though. I'd try moving or deleting your ~/.libreoffice directory to see if something in there is corrupted. If LO wants to import old settings from OO try saying no. I notice you're using iced-tea for java. Have you used java-config-2 to make sure it's all set up correctly? Note that the java settings in LO need to be edited by hand if you change java versions :(Dumb, but doesn't cause a segfault for me.) Are you running python-3 instead of python-2? Do you get the same segfault by running /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin directly? Good idea to create a new (ordinary) user account so you can try failing programs with a completely fresh environment -- not at all the same as running something as root, of course, and very safe if you use a strong password for the new user. Out of ideas for the moment. Hello Walt, thank you for your answer, after several days without libreoffice working, you told me the answer, I'd try deleting your ~/.libreoffice directory, after that, LibreOffice was working fine again.

When I try to run LibreOffice as normal user, I can see the splash (of libreoffice) but nothing more... Cannot use any libreoffice application, it just don't work, fas as I can see is the libreoffice splash. No errors (as normal user), after the libreoffice splash it closes. By the way, I've already checked Google, and none of those are my problem, it just happen with LibreOffice, after a world update. -- Carlos Sura.-

[gentoo-user] Doubt about Python.
Hello, I'm running a Gentoo Box ~amd64, so, upgrading my system I could notice that there was 3 python versions. I have: Python 2.6 Python 2.7 Python 3.1 It is safe if I use as main Python 2.7 and as active version of Python; Python 3.1??? Or should I stay in Python 2.6? Regards, -- Carlos Sura.-

If the system apps are still using 2.6 insteadof 2.7, there's probably a reason... They don't, they use python:2. This box still works correctly without python 2.6, nothing complains. It did require a quite lengthy python-updater run before removing 2.6. -- Neil Bothwick I am NOT a NUMBER! I am a DEMOGRAPHIC! So It is safe or not? I'm currently using python 2.7 with no problems right now or at least I think so... 2.6 and 2.7 are safe, right. Ok, thank you all, I'm going to stay with python 2.7 to see what happens next.
