[gentoo-dev] net-analyzer/traceroute merge strangeness
I just emerge'd traceroute, dropped back to my normal user, and it didn't run. So, I checked the emerge messages and saw this: snip! * SetUID: [chmod go-r] /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/traceroute-1.4_p12-r5/image//usr/sbin/traceroute ... [ ok ] --- /usr/ --- /usr/sbin/ /usr/sbin/traceroute snip! I can understand traceroute being setuid, but why put it in /usr/sbin so only root sees it? If we only want root to run it, it doesn't need to be setuid. It just doesn't make sense for a setuid application to only be directly available to root. -- Jeff Walter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Traceroute is heavily used by many people and therefore I don't think its reasonable to place it somewhere in the file system that a typical user does not have within their $PATH Bug time? -Rob Bug #174278 submitted.

Daniel Drake wrote: To see this bug, you need to have _some_ highmem in the system (this means = 1GB total physical RAM), be running on x86 (other arches dont have HIGHMEM option), and have the 64GB high memory support option enabled. (4gb is fine, as is lowmem) I currently have 1GB of RAM with the 4GB HIMEM on 2.6.12-gentoo-r9. I can play with it. I've had this bug reproduced by a few different people, but none of them with enough time to help me diagnose this. I only have 512mb myself so I can't help. Sounds like it's time to upgrade ;-) If anyone has the appropriate hardware and some time to spare slowly reverting out the Gentoo patches to help diagnose the problem, please take a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101359 I can definitely do that on one of my days off work (Mondays and Tuesdays). Shouldn't be terribly difficult with the newer, smaller patchset. -- Jeff Walter Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://gentoo.org/~jeffw/ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

This will make packages dependant on the build system, which will create inconsistencies in binary gentoo packages. Yuri. This is true, and there's no good way around the issue. I had written a small script to actually search for the flag (grep'ing for sse will go true for sse2 as well), we I noticed this. Will valgrind 3.0.0 ever work on systems without sse? If not, the USE flag might be your best bet. -- Jeff Walter -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-dev] unmounting a filesystem mounted by /init (initramfs)
Rafael, I have no clue if this will work, but maybe try the -n option. The man says that it won't write to /etc/mtab, but I'm hoping it will ignore it as well and just go for the mount. Also, you'll be remounting / as read-only effectively, so you won't be able to write /etc/mtab anyways. -- Jeff Walter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rafael Espíndola wrote: I am trying to build a system that uses a unionfs as root. The init script is based on the one used by gentoo and uses initramfs. The problem is how to remount the unionfs constituents read only during halt. cat /proc/mounts displays /dev/hda1 (ext2) mounted rw in /memory. The problem is that /memory is no longer visible after the init script did a chroot and a mount -o remount,ro /dev/hda1 says that /dev/hda1 is not mounted! does any anyone has an idea?
