All requsts are sent to me regardless. Still, when I tell proftpd to bind to port 21, it keels over. I commented out the line on passive ports, no change.

Two, I want to be able to login via ftp.joseph-a-nagy-jr.us, yet there is no option to have proftpd to listen to that url (port not included, of course).

[gentoo-user] Questions and Problems
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 First the questions. Other then karamba-webcam, are there any programs in portage (emerge -s webcam came up with only karamba-webcam) to enable the viewing of video locally and through programs like Gnomemeeting? Do any of you folks recommend getting a Linux-based virus scanner? Since I'm doing some minor web hosting (mainly for Windows users) I've been thinking it might be a good idea but really am not sure if I should bother or not. Also, I know the command to change my desktop background, so I got to thinking it'd be nice if I could write a script that would be invoked every hour and change to a random background whose path is defined in a txt file (hand written) and was wondering how exactly would I make a shell script (I can write basic scripts, mainly for invoking commands with commonly used options) to pick one at random. Now the problems. XMMS 1.2.9 fails during compile. I've tried several different times but it fails each time, as does one of the dependencies for man2html. I've thought about filing a bug report but I'm not sure if it's a Gentoo bug or a bug with the program. I won't have the exact message again for a few days (XFree and GCC take a day and a half to compile) so I'll get back to you with the error messages if you folks want. Another problem I'm having is getting my mail to be filtered through my procmailrc file (will attach if wanted). Any thoughts on how to get Exim (my MTA of choice) to invoke procmail? I also have SpamAssassin installed, is that overkill or what is possibly causing these problems? - -- Joseph A.

This means that the daemon started and died. When you try to restart or stop
the daemon, the operation fails (because it is not running). Check any log
messages to find out why.
I've checked the logs, and other then a duplicate entry there was
nothing in there to indicate why it's failing to continue running after
I start it.

I've checked the logs and they don't make sense. The last entry (which
is no longer repeated but exim still dies on startup) refered to a line
that was commented out. Even so I removed the entry for that line, kept
an eye on the clock and waited two minutes, started exim, checked the
logs, no error, then tried to restart with the same error as above but
nothing recorded in the log file (I'm checking
/var/log/exim/exim_main.log and exim_panic.log) as to why it's still dieing.

[gentoo-user] gentoo installation problems
Hi, This is my first time installing gentoo, and I'm having problems with my eth0 settings. I set my computer up with a static IP address using net-setup, but the system seems to "forget" the settings I chose. This is causing me headaches because I am trying to install the system through an ssh tunnel, and I get timeouts when I leave my computer doing the emerge system command because the IP address changes. I believe the problem is that I have a DHCP server running on my network, and somehow the computer is letting itself get set by DHCP even though I set it up manually. Does this sound like it could be the problem? If so, how can I tell the computer not to accept DHCP settings? Also, how can I check that nothing got corrupted when the timeout occurred during the emerge system? Thanks for any help, Joe Cole -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I think you misunderstood me due to my poor english... ;-) I do not want to put the aliases to my sendmail.mc nor in the sendmail.cf.

I figured out the xdm/gdm problems. Forgot to un-comment the lines. Yeah, the old Compaq lappy is my test mule. I have a new Sony ultra-portable that serves as my main travel companion. WinXP is staying on that until the Centrino drivers are more mature. I will check those other things in regards to my slow build time. I just thought it was a 500MHz proc and 96MB RAM.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo up and running
After TWO WEEKS!!! of emerging and such, I can finally log into a graphical user interface (Genome) on my Gentoo laptop. I am typing this on my Main desktop running RH9. I am a sort of Newbie that converted a while back. RH is so easy to install (took 45 minutes) and use. Gentoo, on the other hand, has been compiling code for 14 days straight on a K6-2 500 laptop. I couldn't get KDE to emerge properly. Gnome took about 20 or so tries. It would fail on certain packages. I just retyped the command and prayed. Most of the time that worked. The error messages were always cryptic and google is an old friend. I couldn't get xscreensave to emerge. I said screw it and moved on. I just wanted to to see a login screen. Well, eventhough I set it up to run GDM as the login manager, xdm still runs. I just log in twice. I think I will wipe the system and start over again. I started from stage 1. Next time will be stage 3. I don't see putting Gentoo on my main system just yet. RH9 is so convenient with RPMs and now APT-GET. Maybe when I lose the n00b status, I will "upgrade" to Gentoo. -Joseph -- There is no place like 127.0.0.1 Digitally signed http://joseph.eaton.net/eaton.gpg -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS/ED/CC d s: a- C++ UL P+ L++ E W+++ N+++ o K- w O-- M- V PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP t- 5- X+ R- tv+ b+ DI+++ D++ G e+ h* r* z? --END GEEK CODE BLOCK-- signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

You can always check the ebuilds and see if crypt is used. Maybe someone else can chime in on that one..
