It's definately not a permission issue as far as I can tell. since you're on the XP box and you're copying to the XP Box. Samba permissions should not have anything to do with it. What about permissions on the XP directory? Are you using the netbios name or the IP address?

I can congure my router for all the proper port forwarding for my server, but hostnames is giving me some confusion. To run a lot of things properly, such as Apache and Postfix, i need a qualified hostname configured for the server. But, i don't intend to run all the server daemons on one box for long. I can't give the same name to multiple servers, and i want to be able to address the different boxes by unique names from within the network (got a nifty naming scheme and everything), so how can i go about the best set up here? Just name them as you see fit. The names are only applicable to your private network. Externally, all public names will point to your one public IP address and your router will take care of forwarding the requests for each service to the correct box. For example, www.mydomain.org, ftp.mydomain.org and mail.mydomain.org will all resolve to your public IP address, but you may have something like this /etc/hosts setup for your lan 192.168.0.1 box1 www.lan 192.168.0.2 box2 ftp.lan 192.168.0.3 box3 mail.lan As long as your router forwards ports 80, 21 and (25|110) to 192.168.0.1,2,3 respectively, it should all work, with no one on the outside knowing anything about your local network. -- Neil Bothwick Keyboard: (n.) a device used by programmers to write software for a mouse or joystick and by operators for playing games such as 'word processing.' pgp8bCev63FgY.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Postfix problem w/o network
I have a feeling I'm missing something very obvious here, but I'm still at a loss: I have my laptop's ethernet set to use DHCP. Obviously, on the road this will fail. But then the net service that postfix (and a bunch of other stuff like sshd) depends on is not there. Of course I could edit the init.d file, but there must be a cleaner solution, right? After all, everybody on dialup-only systems has to have this problem. I also haven't figured out *how* the net dependency is provided. The postfix iniscript explicitely contains provide mta, but very few scripts use this provide keyword, especially not net.* On my previous SuSE system, if I went someplace networked with the machine running already, I used to say ifup-dhcp eth0, and I could mail and ssh into the laptop without any further ado. I suppose I could do the same with Gentoo's runlevels which I haven't explored yet, but it still doesn't solve the problem that I can't have postfix running and queueing messages I send while offline so they can be delivered once I plug in somewhere. regards Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

I encountered this today, the way I fixed it is as follows (this may or may not be the same problem you are seeing) After gtk+ is compiled the program gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders is run to write out /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders. This file tells gtk where to find the different image decode libs. The problem is this step was failing, although emerge didn't report an error, so you end up with gtk being unable to load png files. gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders was looking for libbz2.so.1.0 to run but I didn't have that symlink. After creating it with cd /usr/lib; ln -s libbz2.so.1.0.3 libbz2.so.1.0 , gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders would run. After fixing that I manually created the conf files: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders gtk-query-immodules-2.0 /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules although it would probably be easier to just emerge gtk+ again after creating the libbz2 symlink.

[gentoo-user] Setting up a route through a point-to-point interface
Scenario: using vtun to build a Lan-to-Lan VPN. One end FreeBSD, one end Linux. On the BSD box I can set up a route directly through the tun0 device without having to assign it an IP address, like this: ifconfig tun0 up mtu 1450 -arp route add 192.168.10.0/24 -interface tun0 and it works just fine. On Linux (I've tried Gentoo and Redhat) it would seem that the following should work: ifconfig tun0 up mtu 1450 pointopoint route add -net 192.168.10.0/24 dev tun0 However I get a: SIOCADDRT: No such device which suggests that the tun device doesn't support the right ioctl variants.

[gentoo-user] DHCPd start / stop problem
Hello, I have chrooted dhcpd setup. If I invoke it without start-stop-daemon from the command line, it starts up normally. If I do run /etc/init.d/dhcp restart, here's what I get (I turned off --quiet in the start script): [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d # ./dhcp stop * ERROR: dhcp has not yet been started.

RE: [gentoo-user] Emerge PHP+ Apache
I use the package system for a lot just not everything. I'm beginning to use it for more stuff. I use to work in Redhat a lot so the package system was not the first thing I noticed in gentoo. I really like gentoo a lot, I'm trying to get more familiar with the workstation end of it, and at the the same time clean up the systems, remove the manually compiled programs and use the package system to make them more proficient. -Original Message- From: A.

With Thanks, Charles Krinke Charles, When you did the emerge sync did you see any addiitonal messages about updating your profile or did that happen when you were forst doing the install? I suspect it happened then and therefore your profile should be fine. I'm not an expert in profiles so for me that guess wasa stretch. As for proceeding with the emerge world operation I don't think there's any particular order you need to go in. The order shown is the was portage would handle it if you let it do it as one big group. I often opt for doing 5-10 packages instead of kicking off the world operation. In that case I'd do it in the order shown before: emerge -pv --newuse grep net-tools kbd binutils-config binutils Since you're new to Gentoo I'd look very carefully at the USE options being chosen for each package, most especially the nptl/nptlonly flags. It's best to get that stuff set up right very early on so that you do not need to rebuild the packages in just a few days when you decide to change some flags. you haven't said what the purpose of the machine is so I don't know how to recommend any flags. I will share that this is what's on my laptop if that's of any

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache2 SSL help
Ok, it looks like the new apache2 httpd.conf has these: Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all /Directory Directory / Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None /Directory Is that sufficient considering I serve everything from: /var/www/localhost/htdocs and: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/admin or should I make some changes? I would think the Gentoo devs set these up to be pretty safe. I did add this to the end of the file: Options -Indexes This switches off Directory Indexes which is probabl not what you want... I don't need anyone browsing around in my image directory. I think that's the only thing +Indexes would mean for me. I thought that was a really common config though. A long time ago I read that this would be a good apache config to add: Directory / AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all /Directory so I had it in there until it combined with the new Gentoo apache2 layout to 403 https pages. I don't want to expose my system but removing that block is the only way to make https work.

But, i don't intend to run all the server daemons on one box for long. i want to be able to address the different boxes by unique names from within the network sounds simple enough. so just give them each their own name within your network (a, b, c); and put it in /etc/hosts of each machine. Then put in /etc/hosts (or leave it up to the DNS) your external host name (x.com) which points to the router. eg /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.1 a 192.168.1.2 b 192.168.1.3 c 216.239.32.10 x.com your router forwards to each machine from the outside based on port. Each box thinks it is only called a, or b, or c, (or a.x.com if you like) but then configure the service on the box to think it is your outside name (x.com). eg in your apache.conf on machine a, you can say the hostname is x.com, in your postfix conf on machine b, you say the hostname is x.com. Internally, any machine can connect to a service on the virtual x.com, which goes to your router and back in to the correct machine (so long as your router is smart enough to do this without sending the traffic to your isp and back). Or, internally, you can connect to the correct machine, by just using a, b, or c, because you set it up and you know which is which. externally, all anyone knows about is x.com, which is listening on multiple ports.

I'm looking at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=2#doc_chap3 and have a few simple questions. currently I have a dual boot system, with fedora core 3 and windows 2000. will gentoo show the different partitions and ask which ones to install on? will it show VFAT, NTFS and ext3? thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] installing to VFAT partition
Gentoo doesn't ask you what to install anything on. you install Gentoo on the partition of your choice. You can, in practice, install Gentoo on any partition type supported by the installation kernel and run it from any partition type supported by your custom kernel. Hope this helps, Mark On 5/12/05, THUFIR HAWAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=2#doc_chap3 and have a few simple questions. currently I have a dual boot system, with fedora core 3 and windows 2000. will gentoo show the different partitions and ask which ones to install on? will it show VFAT, NTFS and ext3? thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] hdparm HDIO_SET_DMA failed
Hello, I've been setting up hdparm on my systems and 3 out of 4 have returned this when trying to set DMA: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted but subsequent attempts have executed without error. 'hdparm -i /dev/hda' does show the * character beside a udma mode in each instance. Does anyone know what that error is about? This is pretty minor really. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

A minor correction to what Mark said: vfat is fully supported by Linux (read, write, edit, create, etc. are all supported and implemented). You can't install onto a vfat partition though because the vfat/FAT32 filesystem does not have the appropriate permissions capabilities. If you have no filesystem preference, a good suggestion is to use Ext3 or ReiserFS.

Re: [gentoo-user] hdparm HDIO_SET_DMA failed
Grant wrote: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted Does the kernel you built for those have support for the appropriate IDE controller chipset? You can get this information with `lspci | grep IDE'. (lspci is part of the sys-apps/pciutils package.) For example on my system I have a VIA 82CXXX IDE controller: :00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. \ VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) So I set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y in kernel configuration. For the 2.6 kernel series you should choose the appropriate option: Device Drivers - ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support - Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLLdisk/cdrom/tape/floppy support - PCI IDE chipset support - Generic PCI bus-master DMA support - * Your IDE Controller chipset Hope that helps! -- () The ASCII Ribbon Campaign - against HTML Email, /\ vCards, and proprietary formats. --- Peter A.

While I know that VFAT permissions are far fewer it hadn't occurred to me that you actually couldn't do an install to VFAT due to those differences. (Not that I'd ever try, but it's good to know.)

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a route through a point-to-point interface
On 12/05/05, Jim Hatfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
{cut}
ifconfig tun0 up mtu 1450 pointopoint
route add -net 192.168.10.0/24 dev tun0
However I get a:
SIOCADDRT: No such device
which suggests that the tun device doesn't support the right
ioctl variants.
Has anyone done this? It's easy enough to do it using throw-away
IP addresses for the two ends of the tunnel, but it's neater if
they can be avoided.
I'd try to use the iproute2 package for that:
# ip route show
10.1.1.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.2
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link
default via 10.1.1.1 dev br0
# ip route add 10.20.0.0/16 dev br0
# ip route show
10.1.1.0/24 dev br0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.1.2
10.20.0.0/16 dev br0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 via 127.0.0.1 dev lo scope link
default via 10.1.1.1 dev br0
I guess that it should work the same for the other devices.
Before adding routing you should bring the interface up:
# ip link set tun0 up

There were some distros that would install on vfat, but as you would suspect, they aren't highly recommended and some actually cost money. I notice pfat linux (was that it's name) has disappeared and didn't Linspire install on vfat?

I had a similar situation with once with simply ftp-ing data between two machines at home. Try putting all your home machines in /etc/hosts on all your home machines. That may be a problem if the laptop gets a dynamic IP via dhcp. No, it's something more nefarious than that 1) All machines have the same hosts file. None of the machines are using dhcp. 2) The FC2 client logs into both Gentoo and FC2 hosts fast 3) The Gentoo client logs into both Gentoo and FC2 hosts slow Seems (to me) like it's the Gentoo client. I don't know where to look for any special messages. I've looked in dmesg and /var/log/messages. I do not see any warnings or errors on either the client or the host. I have not yet tried re-emerging with different flags but I'm sort of at that point now. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] next step X

At this point, before I do emerge kde, I tried 'startx' to see what would happen. X fails to start and complains that it cannot find any screens. It complains about framebuffer and related items. So this sounds like you might not have run the xorgconfig program and properly configured your system yet. See the Gentoo install docs for info on doing that. What I did yesterday was 'genkernel' with all defaults. The motherboard I am using is an Intel with the integrated i810 graphics device (Cayman2). So, at this point, I started off a 'make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux with i810 support (experimental) and frame buffer support (experimental) along with including the ethernet driver in the kernel. I noticed SMP was enabled by default, and I disabled that. So, a 'make clean make bzimage make modules make modules_install make install' is currently going on. If you are using a 2.6 series kernel it's only make make modules_install Am I correct in hoping that will cause X to then start when I reboot tomorrow, or am I missing the boat somewhere along the lane. I think it's just the xorgconfig that you probably need to do. X will start (I hope) after you run that successfully. don't be surprised if X looks pretty bad when you do that but if you get a mouse cursor you're pretty much there. Good luck, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
