Just to expand on this a bit, the /etc/make.conf file probably needs to
define the rsync proxy too, although you can use websync. For all my
proxy work I use Squid. To this end I use the following lines in the
named files:

/etc/make.conf
http_proxy="http://localhost:8080";
ftp_proxy="http://localhost:8080";
RSYNC_PROXY="localhost:8080"

/etc/wget/wgetrc
http_proxy = http://localhost:8080/
ftp_proxy = http://localhost:8080/
no_proxy = .local

/etc/squid/squid.conf
acl SSL_ports port 443 563 873  # 873 for rsync
acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync

Note that the above are just extracts from the configuration files, not
the complete things. Note also that I allow my Gentoo boxes to query
each other's /usr/portage/distfiles before downloading from a mirror,
and my internal top-level domain name is .local; as a result, wget is
told to bypass the proxy on such connections.

Moreover, the above were taken from the machine that runs Squid, which
is why all the proxy connections use localhost. On other machines, the
domain name of the proxy server is memphis.local.

MAC addresses can be spoofed, and, i've been convinced, sniffed out
very easily.  MAC address filterning isn't safe, but does make sure
anyone abusing your net the way we're talking about here uses your mac
addresses and not their own.

on the other hand, you could make them digitally agree to a user
agreement and I bet that would go a long way in court.  

I've been wondering about this too.  I'm trying to think of a way to
integrate a webpage with server routing and such.

It all depends in what country you live in. In Canada you can
download/upload all the music you want legally,( we've paid for it ten
times over via a levy against all recording media) as for illegal
material, if its not on your computer, its not in your possession.

Dunno. I suppose I'd show some logs from the DHCPd server or HostAPd or
something that showed the MAC addresses used at that particular time of the
infraction?

How do Coffee shops handle that? They have open WiFi -- many of them (here
in Seattle at least), you can just jump on from anywhere. Hell there are
about 12 WAP right here in my building that I can see and several are not
WEP or WPA. When our network goes down, sometimes I just jump on them. :)

Besides, most sites that actually LET you download these days require some
sort of login anyways. So that hypothetical person in your scenario would
have that on their computer, whereas I would not. ;-p

I don't really think about it too much.

I've thought about setting up a "hotel page" type system, but it's just one
more thing I don't have time to futz with. If push came to shove, I'd just
start blacklisting ALL MAC's (or I should say whitelisting *my* MACs
actually).

I'd really like to be part of a mesh, but where I live I'm in the middle of
suburbia.

[gentoo-user] Problems after long-due emerge -uDN world

[Henk Boom]

Hi, I did an update last week-end after not doing one since the spring
(I know, naughty me >_>). Aside from the really horrible libexpat
update which took me most of the weekend to fix, I'm having some
behaviour issues now, with which I would greatly appreciate help in
fixing.

First, my alt key seems not to work properly. It works fine in regular
programs (e.g. alt-f in firefox pulls down the file menu properly),
but not for wm or X-related things. For example, I can no longer use
ctrl-alt-fx to change to a VT from with X. Control-alt-backspace
_does_ work, and I can switch to a VT if I do it quick before before
it finishes restarting, at which point the shortcut works fine until I
get back into the X display. With my wm (xfwm), the keyboard shortcut
settings program will detect the alt key fine when I'm setting
shortcuts, but any shortcut involving alt will not work when I
actually try to use it. The normal alt-drag to move windows and such
doesn't work either.

The second problem is that all of my fonts in X are suddenly a couple
sizes too big. If I run "xrandr --dpi 75" the font sizes go back to
normal in programs I start afterward.

I followed the dpi guide on gentoo-wiki, but no DisplaySize setting in
my xorg.conf seems to make a difference. I see the following in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log when I try setting DisplaySize to 346 260:

...
(**) intel(0): Display dimensions: (346, 260) mm
(**) intel(0): DPI set to (75, 100)
...
(II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 203
...

This suggests to me that my settings are getting overruled somehow. I
am using x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-2.1.0 with x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2.

Any advice would be appreciated.

As I understand it, your future compiles will faster, safer, more stable and

If you follow the relevant upgrade guide to the letter, it *shouldn't* be as 
dramatic as this.  Nevertheless, your mileage may vary and all the caveat 
emptors that go with it means that you better leave this upgrade for a rainy 
day, rather than when you want to use the machine for production purposes.

I guess you could get away with it for quite some time.  Someone more 
knowledgeable on system development ought to advise better here.

Strange. Can you edit /usr/lib/urxvt/urxvt.pm and add the line

warn $INC{'Scalar/Util.pm'};

just before line 1191? Then run urxvt from a terminal, and see what it 
says.

What about /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/Scalar/Util.pm ?

Since you mention Google, I remember reading about a NASA style AP 
authentication which may be of interest to the OP:

Essentially you run a web server with SSL authentication so that only users 
who authenticate with user name/passwd that you have provided, are issued 
with an IP address by your dhcp server.  In this way you can control who's 
using your bandwidth; what they use it for; e.g. only mail; or mail & http; 
etc.  If you are interested in providing this as a service then you issue 
usernames/passwds to applicants via email.  Additionally, you can run QoS and 
throttle http, or bitorrent (ab)users, a proxy caching server, and what not.

PS. Where I live I have to pay for bandwidth (although where I currently work 
I don't).  So your concept of offering bandwidth for free seems somewhat 
strange to me.  Furthermore, I would be concerned what different people may 
be using the Internet for and what trouble I could get into, for being the 
registered owner of the particular public IP address.  That said, I would 
looove being your neighbor!  :)

Yeah, PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save_summary echo" is now the default when 
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM is unset in /etc/make.conf.

Re: [gentoo-laptop] Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)

Hi Beso,
  sorry i misunderstood your suggestion. I did what you suggest and
this is the result of the trip_points:

critical (S5):  100C

which i suppose is the reason why at that temperature the laptop switch off.
So, nothing except for the critical state. Should i have to add there something?

An additional problem is this:
doing a
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature
it gives only a:

temperature: 0C

My question is:
even if i change the polling frequency, how the fan can start if the
temperature gives 0??
Do you know if it's possible to link the fan start with the core
temperature instead of the ACPI thermal zone?

I was thinking the same.  I remember when I first started using Gentoo
(2004?) when doing updates, I always wished it would spit out the notices at
the end instead of every emerge.  Imagine my surprise when I saw they had
implemented that.  Good show, Gentoo devs!

This indicates that the dmix module (NOT kernel, but alsa-lib!) might
be missing.

I ran into some similar problems, I think they modified the way
alsa-lib is configured and made it more fine-grained. Missing an
ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS setting in my /etc/make.conf, I had no plugins at all.

So I suggest to check your /etc/make.conf, and if not present and you
want minimum hassle, append that line to /etc/make.conf:
---snip
ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw copy dshare dsnoop extplug file hooks ladspa 
lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null rate route share shm"
---snip
(works for me)
then re-emerge alsa-lib.

then thats what fucked your whole cyrus databases.
first shut down cyrus, then move /var/imap/db* (backup1, backup2, whatnot..)

thats not where the mails are stored, so youll lose no data. the db folders

Portage uses wget by default, and wget respects $http_proxy. According
to /etc/make.conf.example

# Fetching files

# If you need to set a proxy for wget or lukemftp, add the appropriate "export

[gentoo-user] Xorg won't use my TFT monitor as screen 0

[David Sveningsson]

Hi, I recently bought a new TFT monitor. I used to have 2 CRT monitors
with an nvidia graphics card. I configured Xorg to use two separate
screens and *not* twin-view.

When I replaced the monitor that used to be screen 0 with the new TFT
monitor Xorg cannot use it as screen 0 any more. And the placement of
the screen seems weird. All applications starts about 200x200px to the
left and above the desktops. When maximizing an application it fits into
a (estimated) 1024x768 window.

No matter how I configure X it just doesn't seem to work. Attaching my
xorg.conf

Also, I recently had some issues with java+firefox. Anytime a java
applet is starting I get the following error:

Java process caught exception: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

The callstack printed reveals that the error comes from
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.getDefaultScreenDevice(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:218)

So I figured something must be really wrong with my configuration. Any
ideas?

Re: [gentoo-user] Introduction (new member) and first ask-for-help... :-)

[Ricardo Saffi Marques]

@Iain: I tried that but it didn't really work. But thanks to THAT suggestion
I found the solution to the problem. Read below.
@ Volker: I may try to do that, though I must say I've installed many
systems using the -Os instead of -O2 without a single problem. It turned out
to be something really simple, though still weird. Read below.

When I tried to turn off bash_completion by not invoking it when a shell
opens (and it didn't work) I had an insight. :-)
My $HOME/.bash_profile makes theese two calls:

> [[ -f $HOME/.bashrc ]] && . $HOME/.bashrc
> [[ -f /etc/bash_completion ]] && source /etc/bash_completion


My $HOME/.bashrc, among other things (regular ones), calls a script I have
with many (many many) aliases and mods for my shells. So this is my .bashrc:

> [[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] && source $HOME/.loginscript


When I decided to comment the above call to $HOME/.loginscript, everything
worked ok. No more memory leak problems, no more weird shell command
interpretation. Everything started to work Super (as Al Pacino would say in
Scent of a Woman). :-)
What do I have inside .loginscript? Here it is:

Again: I already do this with other computers I work with and never had a
problem with such thing. Two funny things: the very same sequence os scripts
runs when I login with my local user (rsaffi). No problem, just with root.
Another funny thing: after commenting the "[[ -f $HOME/.loginscript ]] &&
source $HOME/.loginscript" from the .bashrc file, the problem was gone.
Then, after I log in, I ran: "source ~/.loginscript" and had no problem.
That's weird.

Anyway, I appreciate your help, guys. Thanks for all the patience and tips.

Regards,

Saffi

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)

[Marco Calviani]

Hi Volker,
  i'm attaching my kernel .config. As you can see all the ACPI related
points are enabled.

> posting your config? make menuconfig and reading the help-text to all the

Thanks, i've found fancontrol, but since the laptop lacks some chipset
to control the fan itself, the /etc/fancontrol is not created.

I've realized that the temperature given in the
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ01/temperature is more or less random at a
given machine startup and it does not change while the machine is on.
When it start at a temperature above 60C, the fan starts (and never
switch off) but the cores temperature remains low (~35C). If it's 0C
or 50C or something below this threshold, the fan does not switch on
and the core temp increases up to 100C.
It would be nice to be able to link the fan control directly with the
coretemp and not with the ACPI thermal zone

DBERROR db4: Open database handle: /var/imap/tls_sessions.db


This is my imapd.conf:

Notice I'm using postfix certs, cause I used:

#tls_key_file:  /etc/ssl/cyrus/newkey.pem
#tls_ca_file: /etc/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd-ca.pem


and now /etc/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd-ca.pem does not exist, but I'm not
sure if this is really important, we're talking about self-generated
self-signed certs... I can generate new ones, but old were fine...

And those are cyrus use:


[ebuild   R   ] net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.2.13-r1  USE="ssl tcpd -afs
-drac -idled -kerberos -pam -snmp -unsupported_8bit"

posting your config? make menuconfig and reading the help-text to all the 
acpi-options?

a nice tool, included into lm_sensors. pwmconfig to configure 
it /etc/init.d/fancontrol start, to start it. If everything works, it will 
spin the fans up/down when the temperature rises/goes down.

I have it running on my desktop and it is great - 1000rpm instead of 3000 at 
the moment.

/etc/env.d - /etc/env.d/05gcc* in this case.

This does not suffice here.
e.g. in /etc/profile.env  the environment variable PATH begins with
export PATH='/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1:
  this doesn't exist anymore =^ 
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2
this hides version 4.2.1 ==^
 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.2.1:

Is that really necessary within the gcc-4.x family ?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: how do I kick a MAC address off my hostapd WiFi network?

[dexter]

Your iptables rule is almost ok, if I were you i'd do something like this:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m mac --mac-source 00:19:7E:C5:02:AB -j DROP

and
iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:19:7E:C5:02:AB -j DROP

That should do the job

Daevid Vincent pisze:

I have my WiFi network on a hostapd controlled 10.10.10.* range and my
wired LAN on a 192.168.1.* range. 


I try to be a "nice guy" and leave the WiFi 'open' (no WEP) as it's
segregated and I use some proper shorewall rules to route things nicely
for my various privileged devices. Also, some WiFi devices I have just
don't support WEP, and it's a real hassle to get others working with
WEP. 


I don't mind the occasional person jumping on to check movie times or
traffic or get email or whatever. I think bandwidth should be free for
everyone and it is sure a life saver when you need to quickly get online
for something.

Anyways, sometimes I have stupid neighbors who don't quite "get it" and
will just blindly let their computers connect to my WAP. UGH! They sit
on it for hours and days and generally piss me off.

How can I boot someone off my network? I usually add them to my
shorewall blacklist file, and then:

/etc/init.d/dhcp restart
/etc/init.d/shorewall restart

But I still see them on there it seems.
http://daevid.com/examples/dhcp
(essentially it's doing an 'arp -n' and then I parse that info and make
it pretty)

daevid dhcp # arp -n
Address  HWtype  HWaddress   Flags Mask
Iface
10.10.10.7   ether   00:06:25:12:4A:D8   C
wlan0
10.10.10.27  ether   00:19:7E:C5:02:AB   C
wlan0
67.168.160.1 ether   00:01:5C:23:D7:02   C
eth0
10.10.10.69  ether   00:02:6F:21:DF:5C   C
wlan0
192.168.1.18 ether   00:0C:F1:A8:F7:F3   C
eth1

I googled and found this little nugget that I thought would work:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/5752-dhcpd-iptables-deny-m
ac-addresses.html

# iptables -A FORWARD -m mac --mac-source 00:19:7E:C5:02:AB -j DROP

But I still see this squatter. And I can feel my network being sluggish
as they're probably downloading a lot of stuff.

Better yet.. redirect them to a (random) page that shows everything

You run dhcp? Just exclude that MAC address from getting a lease.

No IP address = no route = problem solved

For a second level of teach-them-a-lessonness, iptables has a 'mac' 
extension. Use that to match the MAC address and DROP all patches in 
your outgoing firewall FORWARD chain
