Is the filter definition correct?

filter sshd { program("ssdhd"); };

Yes, the "ntpd -g -q" work better; the time is adjusted correctly.

with /htpdate 1.ro.pool.ntp.org I always got the same Offset number, doesn't 
matter how many time I run it.

The hardware clock syncs to the software clock. If, when you run the 
date command, it prints the correct time (accounting for timezones) then 
as far as I know, that is the time your hardware clock uses. Besides, 38 
seconds is not bad. Unless you are doing something between computers

Dovecot is an IMP server, it doesn't have a GUI. What you are thinking of

It all depends on what you want. I've not used Roundcube, although I 
hear it's good. I've used SquirrelMail, Horde, and SOGo. I personally 
prefer SOGo, but it's complicated to setup. SquirrelMail is easy, but 
lacks a lot of features that SOGo had. Horde is kind of in the middle. 
The only thing I'd watch out for is that if you use SOGo, the gentoo 
packages are WAY out of date. The most recent SOGo package in portage is 
4.3.2, but you can get the sources for 5.1.0 from the SOGO.NU website.

If you're accessing it locally only, the default settings should be fine.
The only thing you may want to change is the location of the mail
storage. Look for the mail_location setting at the top of
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf. Then fire up Seamonkey, create a new
IMAP account and tell it to use localhost for the server.

I been trying to find a up to date guide on this.  I'm not having much

a space ship going to Mars or something.  Does anyone have a link to a
simple guide I can follow?  The ones I found talk about options that

I'm afraid that didn't work either.  I did as you said, and changed

That's my best guess as to why your build is using so much more RAM.
Every library with a static-libs USE flag will have a bunch of other
libraries "copy & pasted" into it, and all of those copies take up
their own separate chunk of RAM.

Personally, I would disable static-libs. Within Gentoo the flag is
mostly there because GNU autotools makes it easy to do -- not because
it's a well-thought-out and reliable feature. But if it solves a more-
annoying problem for you, then maybe it's worth it =) In that case
lowering the -j flag for specific packages when you get an allocation
failure is a reasonable workaround.

[gentoo-user] Can't install a new system

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I'm trying to reinstall this system, but being blocked. I'm following the 
handbook installation instructions.

Untarring the latest stage-3 onto /mnt/gentoo, /mnt/gentoo/var and /mnt/
gentoo/usr/local gets me started. Then I chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash, and 
that works too. Then I leave the profile at the default vanilla amd64 and 
emerge-webrsync. So far so good. Then when I try emerge -uaDvN @world I get 
a circular dependency involving elt-patches and xz-utils. No amount of 
unsetting of USE flags makes any difference. Nor does --excluding one of them, 
because portage just refuses to do that.

The same happens with ~amd64 in make.conf, and with plasma profile. No 
systemd here.

Is there really a problem with the stage-3?

More worrying is that my backup USB drive has just failed an fsck. Even more 
worrying still is the same happening to my backup backup! What are the 
chances? Murphy surely does rule...
