Re: [gentoo-user] What if the firewall doesn't start?
On Tuesday 27 February 2007, Grant wrote: Anyway, a closed port remains closed whether a firewall is running, or not. I thought the firewall specified which ports to open/close. Not quite, but we might be running into terminology here. The app that is listening a port opens the port. This has nothing to do with the firewall. The firewall is simply an extra level of checks applied before the packet is allowed thorugh the firewall to be received by the kernel, in the same way that a bouncer allows or disallows the public to enter a club. If the bouncer is off sick, the public gets to walk through the door up to reception, assuming the club is open for business. What Mick was referring to is that if a service is running, it's still going to listen on it's port whether iptables is running or not. So, in the absense of iptables (i.e. your bouncer is off sick), you hopefully have a decent password strategy in use by whatever is actually listening on the box. So as far as incoming connections are concerned, if there are no listening applications, there is no need for a firewall? Technically yes. In the real world, it depends. The theory will work if and only if you can absolutely guarantee that no listening service will ever be running behind that firewall, and that this will always be true from here on out till the end of time regardless of who has access to the machine. That's a tall order, and leaves human nature out of it. You might install a listening app and leave it running in error without realising the impact of not having a firewall. Someone else might do the same. Ubuntu takes the approach you just asked about and it mostly works well, especially for notebooks on a LAN behind a NATing gateway. If you are running a network with valuable private information on it, you might well prefer a belts and braces approach of having a mostly-closed firewall as well.

Sure, it will take some extra compile time, but it will also filter out the packages that you actually don't have to worry about. I'd recommend #2, which will hopefully leave us with a much smaller list of packages to investigate. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Re: [gentoo-user] What if the firewall doesn't start?
Anyway, a closed port remains closed whether a firewall is running, or not. I thought the firewall specified which ports to open/close. Not quite, but we might be running into terminology here. The app that is listening a port opens the port. This has nothing to do with the firewall. The firewall is simply an extra level of checks applied before the packet is allowed thorugh the firewall to be received by the kernel, in the same way that a bouncer allows or disallows the public to enter a club. If the bouncer is off sick, the public gets to walk through the door up to reception, assuming the club is open for business. What Mick was referring to is that if a service is running, it's still going to listen on it's port whether iptables is running or not. So, in the absense of iptables (i.e. your bouncer is off sick), you hopefully have a decent password strategy in use by whatever is actually listening on the box. So as far as incoming connections are concerned, if there are no listening applications, there is no need for a firewall? Technically yes. In the real world, it depends. The theory will work if and only if you can absolutely guarantee that no listening service will ever be running behind that firewall, and that this will always be true from here on out till the end of time regardless of who has access to the machine. That's a tall order, and leaves human nature out of it. You might install a listening app and leave it running in error without realising the impact of not having a firewall. Someone else might do the same. Ubuntu takes the approach you just asked about and it mostly works well, especially for notebooks on a LAN behind a NATing gateway.

I should have said --depclean wants to remove things that the OP would prefer to remain. There are at least three reasons why you cannot rely on `equery depends` to tell you if a dependency which `emerge --depclean` is going to remove is required or not. 1) USE conditionals. This is adressed in latest ~arch gentoolkit (0.2.3) which prints the conditional. You still have to check the conditional yourself. 2) || ( bar baz ) blocks. `equery depends bar` and `equery depends baz` will print foo as depending on them. portage and hence `emerge --depclean` only requires one of them to satisfy the dep. 3) If the ebuild exists in the tree and has been modified since it was installed `emerge --depclean` will use the modified ebuild from the tree. `equery depend` will use the ebuild that was installed in /var/db/pkg. In most if not all cases when `emerge --depclean` and `equery depends` disagree the former is correct (as of portage-2.1.1 at least (or 2.1?)). If you want to verify it with the latter you need to investigate the ebuild to see if any of the mentioned three cases apply... -- Bo Andresen pgpoNdo5HEs70.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm hoping things will settle down then I can learn all this once. kwrite is an editor designed to edit smallish files, similar but slightly better than notepad.

Re: [gentoo-user] What if the firewall doesn't start?
On Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:11:33 -0800 Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyway, a closed port remains closed whether a firewall is running, or not. I thought the firewall specified which ports to open/close. Not quite, but we might be running into terminology here. The app that is listening a port opens the port. This has nothing to do with the firewall. The firewall is simply an extra level of checks applied before the packet is allowed thorugh the firewall to be received by the kernel, in the same way that a bouncer allows or disallows the public to enter a club. If the bouncer is off sick, the public gets to walk through the door up to reception, assuming the club is open for business. What Mick was referring to is that if a service is running, it's still going to listen on it's port whether iptables is running or not. So, in the absense of iptables (i.e. your bouncer is off sick), you hopefully have a decent password strategy in use by whatever is actually listening on the box. So as far as incoming connections are concerned, if there are no listening applications, there is no need for a firewall? Technically yes. In the real world, it depends. The theory will work if and only if you can absolutely guarantee that no listening service will ever be running behind that firewall, and that this will always be true from here on out till the end of time regardless of who has access to the machine. That's a tall order, and leaves human nature out of it. You might install a listening app and leave it running in error without realising the impact of not having a firewall. Someone else might do the same. Ubuntu takes the approach you just asked about and it mostly works well, especially for notebooks on a LAN behind a NATing gateway. If you are running a network with valuable private information on it, you might well prefer a belts and braces approach of having a mostly-closed firewall as well. As always, the best solution will vary according to what *you* need On more question, is default the right runlevel in which to run shorewall? It looks like it's one of the last services to start that way. - Grant You could probably run it sooner, but it might try to bring up your network interfaces before starting. But, as long as the interfaces' device nodes exist, whether or not the connection is up shouldn't matter. You could move it to the boot level, probably, if you were worried about security while the computer boots. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I know the x11 VIDEO_CARDS setting helps not only X, but other programs too, decide which hardware to support. The same may be true of ALSA_CARDS. I would think though, that this would be most important for people using the ALSA-supplied drivers, as in-kernel drivers are selected at kernel configuration time and alsa-provided drivers must use another way to specify which sound hardware to support. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

These two ebuilds now make use of the ALSA_CARDS variable to decide which firmwares to install and which tools to build. So it looks to me like it has nothing to do with the kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] firefox (mis)behavior
Here's a workaround that seems to help in a lot of cases... 1) Shut down all instances of Firefox 2) rename your profile directory. It usually looks something like ~/.mozilla/firefox/gobbledeygook 3) Start Firefox again. It'll create a new profile. Firefox has occasional problems when the profile from an older version won't work for the new version. You should be able to copy or import the bookmarks file from the old format. But you'll have to do your settings all over again. -- Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Portage problem with xfce4-panel
Exist a much easier way to avoid unmasking packages. Go to your /etc/make.conf. Change your architecture from x86 to ~x86. Now emerge xfce4-panel. If you don't want to be in the testing architecture. Go back and change ~x86 to x86. That's pretty easy... and no need to unamsk! Regards. 2007/2/27, Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just did an emerge --sync; emerge world and I'm having some trouble with: xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.4 (is blocking xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.4.0) I unmerged xfce4-panel but I still get the above blocking message. A pretend emerge of xfce4-panel confirms that it is not installed. How can I resolve this? This really is a great example of a question with too little information provided? What were you trying to emerge? What's in your package.keywords (only xfce entries are relevant here)? Removing all of this from package.keywords fixed it: xfce-extra/terminal =xfce-extra/exo-0.3.2 =xfce-base/xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.0 =xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.4.0 =xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.4.0 =xfce-base/xfce-mcs-manager-4.4.0 =xfce-base/libxfce4mcs-4.4.0 That is all required for the terminal package though. I guess I should wait until I upgrade to xfce-4.4 before I bring terminal back into the loop? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- BrunoProg64

[gentoo-user] Email clients - what can replace Evolution?
Hi all, I've got a machine that will no longer run Evolution. For whatever reason all versions of Evolution in Portage crash. I cannot as of yet get a backtrace to determine why. Even if I could a fast solution would depend on other folks seeing what's wrong and telling me how to fix it by recompiling some library or something. I cannot be sure if or even when that might happen so my user needs to move on. He's been without access to his email for about 10 days and is fed up waiting for me to fix it. The question is how to move forward. Is there any other Linux email client that can pick up where Evolution has failed him? I know nothing about how Evolution stores mail, contact lists, etc. so I don't know what he might be able to use. What is the KDE mail client? Can Thunderbird look at Evolution files? I spent some time going through the online Portage database but nothing seemed obvious so I hoped to hear about an app to try out here. In parallel I can try something like emerge -e world. Maybe I'll get lucky? ;-) Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hm... That never was a problem with mysql before. Not even with versions

Here are the relevant lines in make.conf:

CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
That should not cause the dash to be omitted. Anyway, I will give it a
try after copying CFLAGS over to CXXFLAGS verbatim.
Will let you know about the outcome.
Alright, that yielded the very same outcome.
Are you sure there isn't a second entry setting CXXFLAGS=O3? Or perhaps in
your env?
# grep CXXFLAGS /etc/make.conf
# env | grep CXXFLAGS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep CXX /etc/make.conf
CXXFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ env | grep CXX
CXXFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4
So where does the dash get lost? Weird.
