Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
But everything looks quite normal, except for that packets aren't routed. So its up to somebody else to tell exactly what that policy module in iptables does -- and how. I don't have answers left here -- except for the case that a manual iptables setup is sufficient. Personally, I'm quite happy with $ iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE $ iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $ iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT for the forwarding. All that fancy-schmanzy stuff that shorewall does isn't in there, granted. Thanks, so i think that i have to get familiar with iptables itself, because i want to some more than routing. I will try this rules in the evening and tell you if it works. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] WiFi needs ESSID to connect?
Hi All, I am unable to connect to a wireless access point unless it is set to announce its ESSID.

Can you please tell me how to associate with access points that do not transmit their ESSID but have WEP enabled? I tried using the MAC address of the ESSID but it did not work. -- Regards, Mick pgp4a9lYEzjvJ.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Problem installing mod_proxy
Hello, This is my first week with Gentoo. I'm running Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 on a x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. I have Apache 2.0.58 installed. I would like to install mod_proxy. I need it. When I do a emerge --search mod_proxy, all I get is : * www-apache/mod_proxy_html [ Masked ] Latest version available: 2.5.1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 8 kB Homepage: http://apache.webthing.com/mod_proxy_html/ Description: An Apache2 DSO to rewrite links in html pages behind a reverse proxy License: GPL-2 So it looks like I cannot install mod_proxy through emerge. Do I need to recompile Apache? Or is there another way? If I need to recompile Apache, how can I know which options where used for the original installation of Apache? I would like to keep the exact same config + mod_proxy. Any help would be much-much-much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Thomas.

However unless you've hacked up your Apache install in a serious way mod_proxy is a core part of Apache2 and should be installed. The dir you did the listing on appears to be a third party modules directory only or it's a statically compiled Apache. I'd try doing a find on your filesystem for mod_proxy, mod_dir, or mod_mime which should be part of a default Apache2 build or just use portage to install Apache and be done with it. For the record mod_proxy_html rewrites links to work cleanly with mod_proxy and is based off the work in mod_accessibility and does not actually do any proxying. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[snip...] FWIW, if there are no beacons in the air, how should your WiFi client tell what frequency to tune? How should it be aware of the network? That will only work if you set both channel and ESSID on the client (and WEP key, of course). Well, it should and does pick up the broadcasted MAC address of the access point (AP). I have verified that the wireless (USB) adaptor on my laptop receives the AP's MAC by running 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' and 'iwconfig wlan0'. However, the WEP authentication fails thereafter, because the authentication seems to need an ESSID_name. Not sure if this is an adaptor driver issue (rt2500usb), or something to so with the way the init.d scripts work. M$Windows laptops don't seem to have a problem connecting to this AP whether it publishes its ESSID, or not. This happens despite me changing the key entry from key_ESSID-name=12345678 to key=12345678. Revert that. Also set ---snip--- essid_wlan0=MyESSID channel_wlan0=channel number associate_order=forcepreferredonly ---snip--- I have found that as long as the AP publishes its ESSID_name there's no need to specify a channel. Up until today, when the AP ESSID_name broadcast was switched off, I did not need to enter the channel number in my /etc/conf.d/net to be able to associate and authenticate. I also found in the past that setting a preferred AP and trying to force it on the wireless adaptor invariably ended in failure to associate. Whilst we're on the topic of wireless networking, I am quite confused as to how wireless works with its various encryption and authentication modes. Is it possible to set up Linux so that if an AP asks for a WEP key, I can get a message informing me accordingly? How is one meant to configure /etc/conf.d/net to be able to associate with different APs, some with no encryption, some with WEP, some with WAP. I don't mind using a gui if this is going to offer some interactivity, to enable me to achieve this. A recent post mentioning a Gnome application wouldn't do for me on this occasion, as I don't have Gnome on this laptop.

My suggestion would probably be very conservative: netfilter.org's own docs. http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html -hwh OK. I just had to reply to this one. FINALLY somebody explained how the heck iptables works and what it does in a way that makes sense to ME. The best part is that there is a INPUT chain and a OUTPUT chain then you connect them together with iptables. THAT I could understand. Why can't they put stuff like this in the man page so that nuts like me can understand it? Thanks much for that link. Dale :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/dalek1967
[gentoo-user] mythbackend crash - no responses from Bugzilla report yet
Hi, I wonder what the status of the development folks looking at new bugs is recently. I don't really know where to look to see what's getting worked on, how many devs are paying attention, where my report might be in the queue, etc. I had a fairly serious crash in mythbackend about 3 weeks ago. I filed a bug report in bugzilla but haven't heard a thing since. Tonight I had a similar crash which I've appended to the bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159294 Maybe it's just the time of year with the holidays, etc? I don't know. If anyone here has a moment to look at what I posted and either make some suggestions about how I might fix it or other info I should post for when someone does look at it I would appreciate it. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Licenses

I'm trying to find out what packages I have installed that cannot be considered free, and while it's easy to get a list of the licenses in use, that in itself is pretty useless without knowing anything about the licenses. Btw., shouldn't portage have some kind of flag to at least warn if a proprietary package is being pulled in through dependencies? I just discovered that I have realplayer installed, which was pulled in by mplayer. I don't know of a list which is available now but glep 23 [1] does address this issue with license groups. There are a number of discussions about this glep in the archives of the gentoo-dev mailing list and a number of bugs related to it. I suppose you could try to ask on one of those bugs, irc or gentoo-dev@ if anyone has a list of what will become the OSI-APPROVED or the FSF-APPROVED license group.

[gentoo-user] wpa-supplicant download?
Can somebody point me to a location where I can download a source tarball for stable wpa supplicant (0.5.4, IIRC)? I've been trying to emerge it for days, but the server from which emerge tries to download is unresponsive: http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-0.5.4.tar.gz I've tried downloading from multiple machines on various networks using several different applications, but it always fails. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Re: [gentoo-user] WiFi needs ESSID to connect?

I don't mind using a gui if this is going to offer some interactivity, to enable me to achieve this. A recent post mentioning a Gnome application wouldn't do for me on this occasion, as I don't have Gnome on this laptop. Kwifimanager does not seem very helpful, at least not with this USB adaptor and its driver. Thanks for your suggestions so far.

[gentoo-user] [OT] recommend clean monospaced condensed TTF
Please, recommend me clean free monospaced _condensed_ TTF. The thing is, I was using the font as, for example, is shown here: http://gaydenko.com/qloud/screenshots/shot01.png Few years ago I have condensed some font (don't remember which) with pedit (fonforge now). Recently I have switch from CRT to LCD monitor. As a result, bolded variant looks awful. Apparently, simple horizontal condensing of TTF isn't right way, instead font must be native. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
