[gentoo-user] Depclean question
In preparation for cleaning my world file, I ran emerge -p --depclean world. It listed these packages to be removed: app-crypt/gpgme app-crypt/opencdk app-text/rman dev-libs/libtasn1 dev-libs/lzo dev-python/pyxml gnome-base/gail net-libs/gnutls net-libs/libsoup perl-core/Storable perl-core/Test-Simple sys-devel/bc virtual/x11 x11-apps/sessreg x11-apps/ttmkfdir x11-apps/xcursorgen x11-apps/xdm x11-apps/xdriinfo x11-base/opengl-update x11-libs/libFS x11-libs/libXTrap x11-libs/libXevie x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil x11-libs/libXprintUtil x11-libs/libXvMC x11-libs/liboldX x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors x11-themes/gnome-themes x11-themes/gtk-engines x11-themes/xcursor-themes Obviously many, if not most of them are needed. Remove virtual/x11?? I noticed that many of them are dependencies of virtual/x11 so I added that to my world file, re-ran the --depclean and this time got only about half the recommendations. Was adding virtual/x11 to my world file the proper thing to do? Wonder why it wasn't there in the first place?

Prior to modular-X, any package that depended on anything X related would depend on virtual/x11, which originally could be provided by xfree86 or x.org, but now just x.org. As part of porting to modular-X, all (well, almost all) packages that previously depended on virtual/x11 were updated to depend on _either_ virtual/x11, or the specific modular-X package[s] that they really needed. So the above depclean output means that none of those packages are in your world file, and nothing in your world file depends directly or indirectly on them, based on your current USE flags. Specifically, nothing really depends on virtual/x11, because the dependancies are satified by the various modular-X packages you have installed. So the proper thing to do here is probably add the specific apps that you actually care about and use to world. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you run chkproc on a server that runs lots of short time processes it could report some false positives. chkproc compares the ps output with the /proc contents. If processes are created/killed during this operation chkproc could point out these PIDs as suspicious. That fits in with the fact that chkrootkit rkhunter now report clean ( also fits in with someone tinkering from the inside !) The problem I see here is that you can't expect chkrootkit to find something when scanning from a clean base (Live-CD) when the only hint you had was an alert from chkproc. You probably would have gotten the alert from chkrootkit in the first place. chkproc inspects the currently running system (and the /proc for the currently running kernel). I.e. if it has no signature for the rootkit itself, it can't find it again from that clean kernel. Do you have the possibility to monitor internet connections on an intermediary gateway? I think monitoring it for a few days would give you a better hint if there might be something active. And there are other things to think about. Do you have a webserver running? Nope CGI scripts? Nope PHP applications? Nope Do you have other network reachable services? Nope none outside of my LAN Were you running a firewall? Yep - a netgear router firewall, NAT state aware The past kernel bugs had very early exploit scripts. It is really a no-brainer to insert a rootkit if something lets you, say, write a script to /tmp and call it by exploitable buffer overflows, badly written CGI... And remember that there's (nearly) no possibility for a positive proof of the non-existence of a root kit.

Re: [gentoo-user] Filtering spam for a business address
Does anyone use a spam-filtering solution they think is accurate enough to use with a business email address? I'm getting tons of spam and I'd really like to try and filter it out, but I need to make sure I don't miss any legitimate email. I'm using postfix and courier-imap. - Grant Greylisting because it doesn't filter anything it merely delays email with a temp 450 error. Real emails retry after an interval and spam does not so it eliminates about 90-95%. Couple with reasonable Postfix checks like making sure the sender domain exists, etc and a mail client with internal filtering. With the above in place I see maybe 1-2 actual spams in my inbox a week and averaging about eight a day in my spam folder. Postgrey is in portage and it'll take you about almost two full minutes to get setup and working. I suggest making the the greylist time 30 seconds and the whitelist time 32 days. kashani That sounds really nice. Would you say sending back a 450 error is 100% reliable?

Grant wrote: Greylisting because it doesn't filter anything it merely delays email with a temp 450 error. Real emails retry after an interval and spam does not so it eliminates about 90-95%. Couple with reasonable Postfix checks like making sure the sender domain exists, etc and a mail client with internal filtering. With the above in place I see maybe 1-2 actual spams in my inbox a week and averaging about eight a day in my spam folder. Postgrey is in portage and it'll take you about almost two full minutes to get setup and working. I suggest making the the greylist time 30 seconds and the whitelist time 32 days. kashani That sounds really nice. Would you say sending back a 450 error is 100% reliable? Which config option makes postfix check to see if the sender domain exists. I can't find it in /etc/postfix/main.cf. Nothing is 100% reliable and greylisting is no different. Somewhere someone is running a mail server that retries every 4 hours instead of the usual 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes that most servers do. Mail that shows up in 4-8 hours may be no different that if you have dropped the mail in the first place. Additionally some things like Amazon newsletters do not retry at all so you'd have to white-list them. And I've seen two instances where email originates from a different server each time it retires... which makes no sense at any level and seems incredibly in efficient. I'd keep an eye on things the first month you run it, but generally I have had very few issues over the past two years. You want to look at smptd_recipient_restrictions.

[gentoo-user] System maintainance, emerge --depclean, revdep-rebuild
I have some serious issues trying to maintain three gentoo systems. I fear it's time to ask for advice. I have avoided emerge --depclean since I installed all three of my systems last november. I do update two of the machines frequently. Many issues and compilation failures are popping up, and ordinarily I muddle through a few attempts at emerge -uDv world until the problems go away. I have not faithfully either done revdep-rebuild. Now I have been trying again to follow up on maintainance. It's not working. I have avoided emerge --depclean in spite of the recommendations of several list members both to me and as a matter of course in day to day messages. However, I am reluctant because of none other than the initial messages when trying to do so: *** WARNING *** --depclean is known to be broken. It is highly recommended *** WARNING *** that `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` be ran before *** WARNING *** commencing. However, using --depclean may still break link *** WARNING *** level consistency within your system. `revdep-rebuild` *** WARNING *** from app-portage/gentoolkit can help to detect breakage. *** WARNING *** etc. Here are the stats at the end of remerge --depglean I just tried today: | Packages installed: 1477 | Packages in world:320 | Packages in system: 65 | Unique package names: 906 | Required packages:933 | Number to remove: 569 When running revdep-rebuild, when I try to do every once in a while, invariably, the first package that is attempted to recompile fails, and the process then fails. I have installed a large number of packages, to do a large number of things. There are many programs I could do without. The problem with this approach is the enormous amount of time involved in simple updates. My laptop, with only a 50GB HDD, requires to download 700GB to emerge -uDv world. I am on a dialup at home, at school where I work, the network is inconsistent, and even with several visits to a wireless cafe, I am unable to complete this process. It's time to thin down. I have installed kde and gnome, and a bunch of other display/window managers. I now use enlightenment 17 exclusively, so I could do away with a lot of cruft. But emerge --depclean is removing quite a few programs that are useful to me. I am still being bitten by libexpat.so.0 quite frequently. One of two of the programs involved are serious problems, since the offenders are other libraries or dependencies. Usually I can just re-emerge the affected package, and the problem is temporarily solved. Some programs that I have done that for, are now, after a couple of months, doing it again. Should I go ahead and emerge --depclean? How about revdep-rebuild? I am spending my entire summer trying to deal with these systems. I loathe to do this process package by package. Thanks for any ideas. By the way, one of my systems broke down, so I'll be installing from scratch. One will be much more conservative about installing packages---at least gnome, kde, and other window managers.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: amd64 installation: which file system?
PREFACE: I don't know what I'm talking about, but Seriously, I can't even tread water with these guys, but I installed GNU/Linux on a gateway laptop with a recover partition. I believe I did a defrag, but it's been a long time, but for sure, I was left with the impression at one point that there were some files in the NTFS, nearer to the end of the partition than I'd have liked. I tried qtparted/gparted from several different live cds, knoppix and ubuntu, I believe. I think my first install was Ubuntu, but I had to use knoppix to repartition. This has been an issue a couple of times. Various *parteds gave different results. I was able to shrink the NTFS partition far more than I thought would be possible, and I bit the bullet and just did it, thinking it would fail, but who cares, I'm only keeping NTFS/XP because the school district gave me the machine, and they might require me to run a gradebook. Again, I've shrunk the NTFS a couple more times, since I don't use it much, and no problems in any of the FEW times I've run Windoze. If you are thinking of hosing your partitions, I'd suggest trying other, more up to date, maybe, LiveCDs, and one of them might work. Just don't quote me on this.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to create my own linux distribution
David Corbin wrote: I've considered the idea of a custom distribution to do this. There is no doubt in my mind, that any such distribtuion would be based on an existing one, with tweaks that deal with where updates come from, and what packages are availble, etc. Gentoo or Debian are the two likely candidates. I'm not *sure* a customized distribution is appropriate. There's an excellent reason why Gentoo is seriously leaning towards calling itself a metadistribution. Look into tools such as catalyst. You can build LiveCDs for installing into a known-good environment, Stage 4 archives that require minimal configuration after installation, or even (since, as you mentioned, the targets fall into a few distinct categories) full disc images on (a) local staging box(es) and simply image everything across to the targets. If you're uncomfortable with having a production system loaded with gcc, portage, and such, you can build your own releases locally, and simply batch update the targets when convenient. The images built by catalyst are *not* required to contain portage or the portage tree. Portage and catalyst are *very* powerful tools if you look into their depths. Rsync and friends used in conjunction with a local staging system can IMO make maintaining such a system incredibly easy. Yes, I'm available for consulting. :P -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yes I know the 10.6 gig of XP will fit, what I was looking for
is an opinion on blowing away the orginal XP on the 85 gig partition,
reformatting with several new partitions for Gentoo and XP and using
the XP restore from the 9 gig partition as the end of the drive, where
the HP-XP restore software is located. The machine runs find on
experimental amd64 liveCD, so I know it will be fine with Gentoo.
It's always nice to keep winbloze around, but, I'm getting real
tire of wasting my time.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach?

Yes but that's not amd64 nor a free download. If I have to purchase

has a XP-pro license. NO f___ing wonder everybody hates microsoft.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound and video card variables
Richard Fish wrote: Is there some document somewhere that led you to these settings? If so, we need to get that fixed... No, haven't seen it mentioned in the docs. I have been following some of the threads and something similar was mentioned a while back. If those stanzas are mentioned, in which doc is it? For the video (notice the S in CARDS): VIDEO_CARDS=nv nvidia vesa (leave out the nvidia if you don't want to mess with proprietary drivers) I want to try some games, so I am using your suggestion, including the proprietary drivers. For sound, SOUND_CARD is not a valid option. You can set ALSA_CARDS to have alsa-drivers only build specific drivers, but that is optional, and only applies to the alsa-drivers package. If you use the sound drivers from the kernel, this has no effect. The correct setting for ALSA_CARDS would probably be: ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 Thanks!. BTW, I am trying to build myself a gaming/audio recording box (which will be slightly more powerful than this one, which I have named tinwhistle). This is my current workstation/playstation/recording station box, running Fedora Core 4, DuMuDi, Gentoo and Windows XP pro multiboot box. So far, so good. Is anyone on this list using Ardour on Gentoo yet? I am compiling that now. I had to partition my drives 5 times before I got the sizes I needed to compile America's army and I think I finally got it right. I may give this box to a friend of mine after I get my new box (uilleann) built. I dread installing Windows XP Pro yet again. -- Phil Sexton My Home Page: http://fancypiper.info/ Free tunes: ftp://fancypiper.info/ Naomi's Fancy: http://www.naomisfancy.net/ Our 2nd CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/naomisfancy/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
