[gentoo-user] preserved-rebuild acting strangely
Hi. I am using gentoo unstable and after this last update when I tried to do emerge @preserved-rebuild I get the following: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies done! emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy net-libs/xulrunner:1.9. (dependency required by @preserved-rebuild [argument]) I have xulrunner 2.0 installed, although it looks like nothing depends on that package, so I am not sure what is going on. I looked at /var/lib/portage/preserved-rebuild-registrybut can't find xulrunner anywhere in that file. How can I proceed? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.

From the little bit of research, I found that this is achieved using a system with IPSec kernel modules enabled, along with cryptography modules. On the application level, I saw ipsec tool, OpenSWAN, and OpenVPN. What I was wondering is which should be used for traffic intensive connections in a deployment environment. Without starting any OpenVPN vs OpenSwan debate, we would really like to keep the application level to a minimum. Meaning if we could achieve the tunnel using the required kernel modules, ipsec-tools and iptables, we see that as keeping it simple and effective. Your insight, suggested how-to pages are greatly appreciated. To my knowledge, OpenVPN does not use IPSec. Instead, it encapsulates either IP/IPv6 (tun mode) or layer 2 (tap mode) over TLS. If your service provider requires IPSec and IKE, best forget about OpenVPN. http://www.ipsec-howto.org/x304.html Look under Automatic keyed connections using racoon If your ISP is using IKEv1 Racoon *should* do what you want, but you may need to set up the routes manually. The up/down scripts in /etc/racoon/scripts do not work in my case and I have to set them up with ifconfig and ip. Apparently they work if you use xauth, according to this thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6977674.html Instead, I opted for using StrongSwan, which is *much* better documented, supports additional ciphers, RADIUS, etc. and allocation of IKEv1 pools using a database back end. More importantly it also works with IKEv2 and MOBIKE. With racoon you will have to try racoon2 if you need IKEv2, which was in development back in 2010. You can read a comparison between the *Swans here, but things have moved on since; e.g. StrongSwan supports IKEv1 in Aggressive Mode, OpenSwan supports part of IKEv2, etc: https://lists.strongswan.org/pipermail/users/2010-September/005293.html Ask if you need particular details in setting up your implementation. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] Settings for Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen video card
Problem is that CPU does not have any onboard graphics. For the Xeon you need one ending in 5 (1205/1225/1245) in order to get the onboard gpu.

Re: [gentoo-user] Settings for Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen video card
If you don't have the cpu yet, my suggestion is to go with the 1245 v2 as it offers the best bang for the buck. It also includes the HD4000 GPU (same as the i5/i7 Ivy Bridge and with same settings).

What have you got in world for gcc?
What's in make.conf?
gcc's build system does cause gcc tro be built three times[1], but
that's internal to gcc and has nothing to do with portage. There should
still only be one emerge for a SLOT. If it's doing the same package
twice, then the files in /var/tmp/portage are liable to get continually
clobbered and who knows what will happen.
[1] The logic goes something like this: it's a compiler, so the code it
produces must be consistently identical for identical inputs. So, the
current compiler builds gcc, giving version Y built by version X. That
instance of gcc in turn builds a gcc, giving version Y built by version Y.
Now you should have two copies of the same version of gcc, and they
should be identical, plus the output code must also be identical. The
gcc builds system checks for this by actually doing compiles and
comparing the results. I've gotten a bit hazy on what specific bits
actually do what, but that's the general concept. But all this
rebuilding is internal and you only see it if you examine the console
output scrolling by, it will never show up in any portage tools.

After copying the files over we like to run make and make modules_install on the new machine. Since the new machine will probably have a newer kernel, I suggest 1) copy /usr/src/linux/.config from the working machine to the new machine 2) run make oldconfig 3) then run male and make modules_install make oldconfig will give you a chance to set values for options in the newer kernel that don't exist in the older kernel. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org I don't run desktop environments; I run useful applications

Haven't you left out the third compile?
Let me rephrase the 3 builds.
1) gcc-X builds gcc-Y giving gcc-Y1
2) gcc-Y1 builds gcc-Y giving gcc-Y2
3) gcc-Y2 builds gcc-Y giving gcc-Y3
gcc-Y1 and gcc-Y2 are likely to be different (since they were build by
gcc-X and gcc-Y which are likely to have optimizations).
gcc-Y2 and gcc-Y3 should be identical (since both were built by gcc-Y)
Now you should have two copies of the same version of gcc, and they

Re: [gentoo-user] Traffic Intensive IPSec Tunnel
You can read a comparison between the *Swans here, but things have moved on since; e.g. StrongSwan supports IKEv1 in Aggressive Mode, Aggressive mode with pre-shared keys is vulnerable to offline dictionary attack so you might as well use main mode. If for some reason you have to use aggressive mode use a long randomly generated PSK.

If for some reason you have to use aggressive mode use a long randomly generated PSK. Indeed it is vulnerable, because the hash of the PSK is sent out in the initial handshake. This can be captured by eavesdropping and cracked by brute force off line. As suggested long keys help, especially if they are changed often. It is best, however, to not use a PSK at all and instead set up SSL certificates for VPN gateway and client machines authentication and RSA encryption. This makes it easy to revoke a single SSL certificate if a client is compromised, instead of having to change PSKs for any number of machines that are using the VPN network. -- Regards, Mick smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
