What's the best way to star troubleshooting this from a PAM perspective? I have a debug line set at the bottom of the ldap.conf file, but that doesn't seem to be giving me enough information. Also, I've set 'debug' at the end of every line in my /etc/pam.d/system-auth file, to no avail. Nothing is showing up in /var/log/debug -- PAM indicates that the 'debug' keyword sends messages to syslog for processing. adding the debug keyword to the pam module doesn't do anything but in ldap.conf: logdir directory Specifies the directory used for logging by the LDAP client library. This feature is not supported by all client libraries. debug level Specifies the debug level used for logging by the LDAP client library. This feature is not supported by all client libraries, and does not apply to the nss_ldap and pam_ldap modules themselves (debugging, if any, is configured separately and usually at compile time).

When this is done, backup is tarballed, and tarball is given as like, say, 440 permissions, where users are in some useful 'backup' group, then while tarball can be read to be passed across server, if tarball is extracted, user has no more privs then they have on the system anyway (I'm not saying chmod -R). Then local tarball can be removed or whatever. It's not a bad idea, but you need enough free space on the client to backup the entire system (which for me is not the case). Secondly, every backup you do is a full backup as rsnapshot needs to access a backup todo a incremental backup. You could mess around with something like sshfs but's it's not great either. A straight rsync between client and server could do it but it would suprise me if this doesn't already exist in some form. Regards, Ward

No, it says you should set that variable regardless of what driver you use. Ward

In my previous mail I sent the xorg.conf file. Do I have to change something? Your xorg.conf is fine. Take a look at make.conf. Somewhere you should define a variable VIDEO_CARDS than contains the string intel. If not, add it and remerge mesa. Take a look at the HOWTO Adam suggested, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA It's all explained over there. Ward

SSE, etc means the CPU support a certain set of instructions. When you enable the use flag for it, mplayer will make use of the instructions. And to do that, it will use assembly if necessary. If you want to know where and how, take a look at the mplayer source code. For example the file libavcodec/x86/h264_idct_sse2.asm does exactly what the name suggests. Ward

Or doesn't -march= support additional certain sets of instructions. What does it do, then? The difference is that with the USE flag, you enable the use of assembly code in the source of mplayer that makes use of the certain set of instructions. The -march option enables the use of the certain set of instructions when gcc is optimizing and so gcc will use the certain set of instructions when it converts the source code into assembly code.

I've another server that this difference is about 7 GiG and on that server root is 80% full. The type of partition is ext3. Next to the difference due journaling etc, there is one important difference between du en df: deleted files held open by a running process. du doesn't count these files, df does. You can find those files with lsof | grep deleted. Try closing the process with deleted files and suddenly your du en df will give the same free diskspace. Ofcourse, a reboot does also the trick.

My questions from my previous email was when i want to open Removable Media application there is a popup telling me that Volume Management is not supported and asked me to enable hald services.
