I also set ipkungfu to drop all offensive packets (not sure if that's the default or not.) Whenever I see someone trying the break in in the logsentry reports, I add their IP to the deny_hosts.conf file and restart ipkungfu so that the changes will take effect. I'm wondering why if these offending IPs in deny_hosts.conf are being stopped at the firewall I'm still seeing them fail to authenticate to my FTP and ssh servers? If you think you've setup your firewall to block these IPs and yet they are still able to access your machines, then it sounds like your firewall is misconfigured and isn't blocking the IPs. Also, I've always heard that you shouldn't have any ports open on your machine unless you have some server bound to that port because hackers can get in through unbound open ports. Is this true? I've never heard of this. All ports that you don't want accessible from the internet should be completely blocked by your firewall if you have it correctly configured. If so, how does it work? What do they connect to if nothing's running on the port they're trying? I know the concept of a backdoor in a running program, but if no program is running on said port for them to connect to, how do they get in???

You should be specifying '-march=athlon64'. '-athlon64' is not a valid CFLAG, also -sse/2 and -3dnow are all implied by -march=athlon64 and I'm quite sure that -mfpmath=sse is also the default on amd64. It may be useful to specify '-msse3' in the CFLAGS though if your cpu supports SSE3 as no -march setting implies it yet. Although it's unlikely that gcc utilises sse3 properly. I recommend the following CFLAGS: CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe Adding -msse3 if appropriate for your cpu.

I have to run Gentoo in this particular case because I need an asterisk box and asterisk runs better on Linux than FreeBSD. That being said, I must say that I am very impressed with Gentoo. It's far superior to RedHat, which was the last Linux experience I had. What I'm looking for is freebsd equivalent features in Gentoo. There are three that I'm really looking for: 1) periodic(8) -- run periodic system functions. runs daily, weekly, monthly and security scripts. These scripts do everything from check rejected emails to backing up the passwd file. It's also got a local facility where I can put my own scripts in. It's run out of cron and emails the output of the periodic output nice and clean. I understand that I can manually manufacture the equivalent scripts, but I was hoping there was something similar out there. I don't see how this is any different to just using cron? 2) pkg_version -- summarize installed versions of packages. Outputs what newer ports are available to what versions are actually installed. I've looked through the emerge and ebuild docs, but I can't find anything that operates the same way. emerge -pve world will list all installed packages. emerge -avuDN will show all new packages to be installed after a sync. Just use various combinations of emerge flags to do what you want. 3) portaudit(1) -- system to check installed packages for known vulnerabilities. I believe gentoolkit has a glsa-check script which would be equivalent to this.

Re: [gentoo-user] march athlon-xp to athlon64
On Wednesday, 31 May 2006 16:51, Ralph Slooten wrote:
Hiya list,
I bought myself a new AMD Athlon64 in December, and initially installed
it as a 64-bit Gentoo. In January this year I decided to reinstall it as
a 32-bit OS due to constant issues with flash plugins, win32 codecs etc.
netscape-flash works with mozilla-firefox-bin and any other 32-bit browser,
it's also possible to make it work with 64-bit konqueror. You might also be
interested in looking at net-www/gnash, still alpha quality but will
hopefully become a fully fledged flash player with amd64 support.
mplayer-bin will play all codecs that you normally need win32codecs for. Also
if you're like many users and WMV3 videos are all you use win32codecs for,
you might be interested to know that a VC-1 (WMV3) codec is a google summer
of code project, so will hopefully be in a future version of ffmpeg soon.
Seems I made one muck-up ... I used (for the 32-bit OS):
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -msse2 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
instead of (according to
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags#Opteron.2FAthlon64_.28AMD.29):
CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
CFLAGS=-march=athlon64 -msse2 -O2 -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
-march=athlon64 implies -msse2, all amd64 cpus have sse2 support.
Also -ftracer is not in the safe cflags list, personally I would not use it
but if you believe it benefits you then go ahead.
Notice the athlon-xp = athlon64...
Does anyone with an good understanding of these flags know the
consequences/results of
a) Keeping the old flags (athlon-xp)?
b) Changing to the new flags without a total reinstall?
AFAIK '-march=athlon-xp -msse2' is equivalent to '-march=athlon64'
While I understand that I quite possibly have to reinstall several
packages if I change the flags, which are the ones to pay particular
note to, or is such a change drastic to the OS requiring a total rebuild
of everything?
Please advise.
I would not bother with a full system rebuild, everything should be fine.
Greetings,
Ralph

Re: [gentoo-user] march athlon-xp to athlon64
Yes they are for different architectures, the main architectural difference being the addition of sse2 in athlon64 cpus. There may possibly be other differences in how gcc optimizes based on that -march setting, however i'm not 100% certain if this is the case, I suspect not.
