[gentoo-user] OT? Samba/LDAP Hell
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This is slightly off topic for this list, but I thought I might get some response from the braintrust. ;-) A while back I started to configure samba to work with LDAP. I got as far as configuring slapd.conf and entering a tickler user. Now, I can't connect to any of my samba shares. Looking in the samba logs, when the daemon starts, it's still trying to connect to the ldap server to get the security.tbd. I've verified /etc/samba/smb.conf, /etc/conf.d/samba, and /etc/pam.d/samba and none contain any reference to ldap. But something is obviously still telling samba to use ldap. In an effort to get things working, I started with a *very* basic smb.conf, but still no joy. Here's the global section: [global] log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log workgroup = HOME debug level = 10 server string = gentoo Any advice as to where else to look to disable ldap would be appreciated.

You can use pmount with ivman since 0.6.5. In fact, I think it's the default. (but you can set mount as the default command also in the base settings).

Re: [gentoo-user] /System.map???
Michael W. Holdeman a écrit :

Yes.
With older baselayout [1], the System.map file wasn't required :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
depmod -a ${KV}
fi
[/code]
One day, the code evolved to :
[code]
if [ -f /usr/src/linux/System.map ]; then
depmod -a -F /usr/src/linux/System.map ${KV}
else
ewarn System.map not found - unable to check symbols
fi
[/code]
So, developpers decided to search the System.map file in different
paths, but if your /boot and /usr directories are mounted on partitions,
you must copy the file in /, because modules-update is ran before
mounting partitions.

[gentoo-user] grub passwords - how do I limit OS selection?
Hi, I would like to limit OS selection at boot time. The machine has Gentoo and Windows. Gentoo *must* be the booted OS unless a password is entered. I have tried the password feature in grub but it does not implement this feature. It implements changing boot time kernel options, but not OS choice as far as I can tell. I also tried adding the hiddenmenu option in grub but it seems that with hiddenmenu turned on grub never accepts a password. Is there a way to implement what I need? If you can provide an example that would be great. NOTE: I currently do this be editing the grub file itself but I'm looking for something more sophisticated since I'd like my wife to be able to boot Windows but not my son.

It can protect with passwords the menu entries, to prevent anyone from editing them (to boot with an alternate kernel, from another root, in any other runlevel or stuff like that). But it cant protect -as far as I can tell- the entries one by one. You want to be able to boot into linux at any given momment, and grub to ask you for a password if you hit enter when the Windows entry is selected. If that affirmation is correct, then grub cant do that for what I can tell. I use md5 pass in grub, but it just prevent someone from editing the grub stuff and using a different root or kernel line to boot from. You best bet is to use WinXp, 2k, or any other version of windows that can be hardened a bit. Just put a password in all the windows accounts, and do not give any password to your son. This way, you son will be able to see the Winxp login screen, but he will not be able to enter without a password. If your son is smart enough, anyway, the passwords are nothing (he can always boot from the linux partition, locate the keys, and decipher them with jack or something similar, nt passwords are not hard to beat, and a fast search in the net will reveal all that you need to know to do so).

Re: [gentoo-user] livecd and install cd improper ACPI?
Thanks Richard. Almost but not quite. I loaded the fan module, which did nothing, seeing the fan was already running. I then searched through /lib/modules/2.6.* for the fan module so I could find the others. Then loaded the others. Once I loaded the *thermal* module, the fan slowed down. It was stuck on one speed, which was apparently not fast enough for what I was doing. So, either a combination of the fan and thermal modules did something, or just the thermal module. Thanks again.

Re: [gentoo-user] depclean screw up

I would probably take a look at the output of emerge --debug --depclean --pretend world, and look for net-libs/libsoup or gnome-base/gail. Both of them should appear as dependancies of something. At the very least, they should appear under gtkhtml. You might save that output (it will be large!), to attach to the bug report if requested. Ha! Got it! Searching over that output, that I had never really thought about before, I found the answer. gimp depends on gtkhtml-2*, which at it's highest stable release (2.6.3) depends on gail if USE=accessibility. dvdrip depends on gtkhtml, which at it's highest stable release (3.10.2) unconditionally depends on gail. I had both gtkhtml (3.10.2) and gtkhtml-2* (2.6.3) installed. media-gfx/gimp-2.2.12 comes before media-video/dvdrip-0.97.10, gimps gtkhtml depstring became a candidate, so dvdrips dependency was being ignored! Removing both versions of gtkhtml, and merging gimp then dvdrip separately has apparently sorted it. depclean has removed gail, libsoup, and their dependencies, and my dynamic linking remains consistant.

[gentoo-user] Re: amd64 installation questions
I'm coming into this discussion late. Saw your post of 7/17 on the archives. Just in case no one has answwered your questions. I've been handed a new amd64 portable (HP-8000), which must keep XP on it. To perform an installation, I usually use Partition Magic, which has worked very well to down-size the windoze partition. This system (suposedly) has another hidden partition that XP uses to restore the OS, if the XP installation ever get's corrupted. NO XP installation CD was provided. I was wondering if any of the opensource repartitioning tools have matured to the point I could used one of them in lieu of Partition Magic? [ answer1 ] I have found ntfsresize to be quite reliable even as long as two years ago. It's tedious but reliable. With my new AMD64 PC, I cheated and installed the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS AMD64 distro first, since this distro has a very easy to use repartitioning tool (automatic tools wrapped around ntfsresize). In order to keep the XP installation: Does it matter if I setup Gentoo on the portable first, before going thru all of those windoze installation/initialization menus? [ answer ] In any dual boot setup, install Windows first. Windows always overwrites the mbr, and you would lose the ability to boot Linux (rescue cdrom needed). OTOH, if you have an actual Windows install CD, you could use a rescue CD to partition the disk the way you like it in advance. The Windows installer will ignore Linux and swap partitions. Any wiki examples (gotchas) on xorg.conf or make.conf (as this is my first amd64 installation) are welcome. [ answer ] The only gotcha I found was with the xorg modular installation. After completing the basic installation, I did an 'emerge xfce4' and let portage calculate all the dependancies including xorg. When all was said and done, I discovered that the automatic dependancy selection had not included the keyboard and mouse modules for xorg, so I had to emerge these manually. Also I didn't have much sucess using 'X -configure'. I had to copy over an existin xorg.conf and make modifications.
