[gentoo-user] Is /etc/localtime supposed to be a symlink or a copy?
Before I file a bugreport/feature-request, is it just my machine, or is it Gentoo? I remember when /etc/localtime used to be a symlink to a file somewhere in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. When that file was updated, so was your /etc/localtime (automatically). Now it seems that /etc/localtime is a separate file. Fortunately, I found out about this possibility in a discussion in the local linux mailing list, and updated my /etc/localtime before the switchover.

Re: [gentoo-user] Any Flash editor with gui?

[gentoo-user] OpenVPN and DHCP
Hello everybody! Maybe this is a bit Off-Topic here, but maybe some of you like to help me anyway. I am trying to build a VPN network where the clients get their IP adresses from a local DHCP server (because it should notify the nameserver of the clients). The VPN should have its own adress pool 10.8.0.* while the unsecured clients in the server's LAN should get an 192.168.1.* adress. I got the VPN working but the clients do appearently not get their IP from the DHCP server but some random IP from the OpenVPN server. (The DHCP server only assignes 10.8.0.100-200 adresses but the clients get .8 or .10 for example) Now my questions are: Do I need bridging for making the DHCP server work in the VPN? How should the configuration files look like? The current configuration files can be found here: http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/pholthaus/public/vpn client.openvpn.conf.txt and server.openvpn.conf.txt are the current configuration files. client.openvpn.conf.testing.txt and server.openvpn.conf.testing.txt are files where i tried to use tap devices. However if i use these configurations i get the following error in the server's log: Mar 15 12:50:04 kael openvpn[23401]: thrall/129.70.171.12:32830 MULTI: no dynamic or static remote --ifconfig address is available for thrall/129.70.171.12:32830 Any help is appreciated very much!

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Patrick Holthaus wrote: Now my questions are: Do I need bridging for making the DHCP server work in the VPN? How should the configuration files look like? I don't think you can do it, because the openvpn client needs an IP provided by the OpenVPN server software to obtain the tunnel. If you want OpenVPN to provide a certain subnet range for your openvpn clients, then check out: - --server network netmask A helper directive designed to simplify the configuration of OpenVPN's server mode. This directive will set up an OpenVPN server which will allocate addresses to clients out of the given network/netmask. The server itself will take the .1 address of the given network for use as the server-side endpoint of the local TUN/TAP interface. For example, --server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 expands as follows: mode server tls-server push topology [topology] if dev tun AND (topology == net30 OR topology == p2p): ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2 ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.4 10.8.0.251 route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 if client-to-client: push route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 else if topology == net30: push route 10.8.0.1 if dev tap OR (dev tun AND topology == subnet): ifconfig 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.254 255.255.255.0 push route-gateway 10.8.0.1 Don't use --server if you are ethernet bridging. Use --server-bridge instead. - --server-bridge gateway netmask pool-start-IP pool-end-IP A helper directive similar to --server which is designed to simplify the configuration of OpenVPN's server mode in ethernet bridging configurations. To configure ethernet bridging, you must first use your OS's bridging capability to bridge the TAP interface with the ethernet NIC interface. For example, on Linux this is done with the brctl tool, and with Windows XP it is done in the Network Connections Panel by selecting the ethernet and TAP adapters and right-clicking on Bridge Connections. Next you you must manually set the IP/netmask on the bridge interface. The gateway and netmask parameters to --server-bridge can be set to either the IP/netmask of the bridge interface, or the IP/netmask of the default gateway/router on the bridged subnet. Finally, set aside a IP range in the bridged subnet, denoted by pool-start-IP and pool-end-IP, for OpenVPN to allocate to connecting clients. For example, server-bridge 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.128 10.8.0.254 expands as follows: mode server tls-server ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.128 10.8.0.254 255.255.255.0 push route-gateway 10.8.0.4 [taken from: http://openvpn.net/man.html no Named Anchors there...] - -- Arturo Buanzo Busleiman - Consultor Independiente en Seguridad Informatica Enigform for Firefox: A secure browsing experience: http://enigform.mozdev.org Mail Hosting Seguro y Consultoria - http://www.buanzo.com.ar/pro/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF+9NiAlpOsGhXcE0RCrNbAJ924t72yJMexav/3YESNXHziZm4OACeJy6s tLlNylW4KHjPt4ngjest/jE= =gIhv -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Kmail and incorrect character encoding
My son recently started complaining that my replies to his emails caused his computer to prompt for the system disk and showed up blank. (He uses Windows and Outlook, unfortunately.) If I send him a new email, it works find. If I reply to his, it causes problems. I took a look at my replies to him and found this: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-6 I looked at his email, to which I was replying, and found: Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary==_NextPart_000__01C76655.354C13A0 There is no charset line in his email headers. Anyone have a clue as to why Kmail might be setting the reply to charset: iso-8859-6, which is Arabic? I can't find anything in his emails to cause this. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] POSTFIX mail hub configuration
Hi all! I have a central mailhub for my network and I want it to recieve mail for all hosts on the network. It is the only host capable of actually recieving mail and so I would like anything addressed to *.spore.ath.cx to go to spore.ath.cx instead. I'm at a bit of a loss here. I don't really know much about postfix and the documentation is a bit confusing for someone not used to mail service. Can anyone help me do this? I've attached main.cf.

I know this is my fault. I want to relay mail out from these hosts but the mail coming back to them should end up at the mail host. The users then read their mail directly from the hub with a mail client and IMAP. Furthermore, now that I have lots of deferred messages trying to be delivered to a host that doesn't accept them, what should I do?

With regards to these secrets, they already have their file format documented, it's just that you aren't allowed to use the documentation to make a flash player (they no doubt want to keep control over new developments in the file format). There are no technical reasons why an open source SWF maker shouldn't be available, in fact MTASC and haxe are two examples (though neither are GUI driven). However, the level of control Adobe keeps over flash does attract a lot of hate from free software advocates.

It seems that you have problems with mysql's privilege table.
