[gentoo-user] hal .fdi rules for usb stick
Hi, I'm trying to get my USB stick mounted at some other place than /media/VOLUME-LABEL. For the beginning it would be enough to mount it to /media/usbstick. I've created my own fdi rule: #cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-usb-mount.fdi ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=volume.fsusage string=filesystem match key=volume.uuid string=9487-F0B5 merge key=volume.policy.should_mount type=booltrue/merge merge key=volume.policy.desired_mount_point type=string/media/merge append key=volume.policy.desired_mount_point type=copy_propertyusbstick/append /match /match /device but it didn't work Also is there a way how to mount usb stick to some completely different location, like: /home/user/usbstick ? Thanks, Raul

[gentoo-user] password rules
Hi all, I would like to set some rules for user passwords like minimum length, password must contain a digit, special character, upper and lower letters, etc. but have not found a way yet how to do it. Do I need some special addon or is this configurable in base system? Thanks, Raul
[gentoo-user] strange net interfaces
Hi all, I've found that when I run ip link show on my box it gives me: 1: lo: LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 100 link/ether 00:0d:60:91:03:1f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.11/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::20d:60ff:fe91:31f/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: bond0: BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: dummy0: BROADCAST,NOARP mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN link/ether 8a:3c:77:a9:b5:c0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: ifb0: BROADCAST,NOARP mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 32 link/ether 8e:cf:e3:61:30:ea brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: ifb1: BROADCAST,NOARP mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 32 link/ether 8e:ba:b0:96:8e:d7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 7: teql0: NOARP mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 100 link/void 8: tunl0: NOARP mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 9: gre0: NOARP mtu 1476 qdisc noop state DOWN link/gre 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 10: sit0: NOARP mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 but I expected only lo and eth0 as I did not configured the others. How could I get rid of the rest of interfaces? Thanks a lot. R.
