 Hello list,

 I thought this question would also make sense here.

 Thanks for any inputs.

  Hello list,
 
  I am looking for a health monitoring software for a gentoo cluster.

 Any

  inputs from personal experiences would be valuable.
 
  Lately I had an air conditioning failure over the weekend in my

 cluster

  room and the temperature went up to 95F for a couple of days; wonder

 what

  was the temperature inside the nodes... I have hddtemp installed and I

 was

  thinking about writing a python script to send me e-mails when the hdd
  temperature is over 100F. Before I do that, I wonder what is already
  available for monitoring the system's health.
 
  Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to set domainname

 As of baselayout-1.12.4, the domainname init script is no longer used
 and the Gentoo Handbook no longer tells how to set the domainname.
 domainname now returns (none)

 /etc/conf.d/net.example talks about setting up dns_domain but if this is
 used, it overwrites /etc/resolv.conf.

 So how is the domainname now set?

 Tony

in /etc/resolv.conf (man resolv.conf).

 Nope. resolv.conf doesn't have any influence on the hostname or

 If it would be as you say, what would be my domainname?

 The domain setting doesn't do what you say.

 See? It's for queries for names.

and from where does my machine get its domain name? It is only contained in

I have  the same problem in the same environment.  The emerge of 
openssh-4.2_p1 fails with the same error message and yes,libpam is installed. 
If I emerge with -pam the installation fails with some other library 
missing, which is installed too.

 The password field must be filled. The encryped password consists of 13 to

 Me too. I just started wondering what the difference was

This information seems to be outdated. My root passwort in /etc/shadow 
consists of more then 30 characters and also contains other characters then 
those in the 64 character set mentioned.

  No, portage will not remove any files that have been changed (actually,
  had their mtime altered) wherever on the filesystem they reside.

 Which is what I would expect. But it doesn't seem to the case for me.

 I installed synergy and then removed it but the conf file was still
 around.

 Maybe there's something I'm not doing??

  This is a feature.


from emerge --help config:

In addition to protecting overwritten files, Portage will not delete any files
from a protected directory when a package is unmerged.  While this may be a
little bit untidy, it does prevent potentially valuable config files from 
being deleted, which is of paramount importance.
