Re: [gentoo-user] Qmail and Spamassassin won't integrate

Hi Tim,
I run spamassassin with exim, so can't offer all that much help, but
as for attempt 1 you may try running:
spamc -R {some file containing full source of a sample email}
to make sure spamassassin is running correctly. It should spit back a
score and a possibly a list of tests failed, depending on how
spamassassin is configured. if you don't get this, or get a score
like 0/0, something is wrong with your spamassassin setup.
Thanks for this. 'spamc -R testmail' was failing (hanging forever)
while 'spamassassin testmail' was working fine. This led me to run the
spamc command within strace, which showed the command blocked during
a 'connect' call to 127.0.0.7. Would you believe it was a firewall issue? I
forgot to allow conections to localhost in my iptables script.
Also, you don't want the -P option anymore, it is deprecated and is
the default behaviour of spamassassin now. And you definitely don't
want it with spamc, since it is an invalid option. And yes, you do
want to use spamc over spamassassin for performance reasons.
Thanks for the explanation.
After confirming spamc now works I played around some more. It seems my
~/.qmail file was overriding the system-wide spam check in 'defaultdelivery'.
I changed ~/.qmail from:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
to:
|spamc |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
...and everything seems to be cherry now. All incoming mail now has X-Spam
headers added.
qmail-scanner (mail-filter/qmail-scanner) can take care of that too, as
well as running the email through clamav (assuming you have that
installed).

Re: [gentoo-user] Server Network Configuration
I've done this sort of thing before, but never with one interface
running dhcp. You definitely want to emerge iproute2 (which gives you
the ip command), and add your interfaces to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables, for
example (though in this case, 10 eth0 won't actually get used):
10 eth0
11 eth1
12 eth2
Then in /etc/conf.d/net, put:
modules_eth0=(iproute2)
modules_eth1=(iproute2)
modules_eth2=(iproute2)
config_eth0=(dhcp)
config_eth1=(10.0.0.{1-10} netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255)
rules_eth1=(from 10.0.0.0/24 src table eth1)
routes_eth1=(10.0.0.0/24 src 10.0.0.1 table eth1
10.0.0.0/24 src 10.0.0.2 table eth1
*** and so on ***)
Then do the same kind of thing for eth1. Now, I also seem to remember
that I had another system that I just did everything with the ip
commands in rc.local. And since you're also using dhcp, I don't know if
that will muck with the routing tables everytime the IP renews itself.
Hope that helps. (Also, I seem to remember finding a decent amount of
information about multihoming with iproute2 on the gentoo forums)

Ok, first - I wasn't sure which list this should go to, so if this is
the wrong list please just let me know.
I am in the process of upgrading my server from a P90 running Slackware
to a newer system running Gentoo 2007.0. Everything is pretty okay
until I got to doing the network config. My basic config is as follows:
Public DHCP'd Interface - eth0 (default gw)
Private Lan Interface #1 - eth1
Private Lan Interface #2 - eth2
I also have a number of IP Aliases on the eth1 eth2. I managed this
under Slack through a series of custom rc scripts, which autodetected
the IP address of eth0 for use in the routing. However, I am having
trouble figuring out how to do the same thing in Gentoo's conf.d/net
file system.
Thus far, in /etc/conf.d/net, I have the following:
config_eth0(dhcp)
config_eth1(list of static IP addresses)
config_eth2(static ip address)
I also had a route line for eth1 and eth2, but it specified the IP of
eth1, not eth0 - which is unknown.
I've tried the following:
route_eth1(default via ${COMMAND_STRING_TO_EXTRACT_IP_OF_ETH1})
which kinda works (it does get the IP address, but fails with at adding
the route - I'm not at the system right now, so I'll have to post the
specific SIG name later); however, I am very much doubting that that is
the right way to do what I want under Gentoo.
So, my primary question is:
What is the proper way to do this under Gentoo?
I know I could just go and manually write versions of
/etc/init.d/net.eth1/eth2, but I'd rather do it the right way if there
is one, and only do that as a last resort. (And even then, wouldn't I
be risking the Gentoo Configuration system replace them with symlinks?)
Any how...any advice on the proper way to do this would be greatly
appreciated. I really like Gentoo and really do want to keep - I use to
keep Slack up-to-date manually, and just don't have the time for it
anymore, which is why I'm trying Gentoo.
Thanks,
Ben

I am trying to get LTSP working here.
All appear on the right track with one apparent problem, tftp'ing the file.
When I boot a client it appears to pull in the network information but
when it starts to tftp the file, I receive a message that the file is
not found on the client display.
I have been following the instructions here,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ltsp.xml
and of course alter to what I need for my system.
Am I missing something obvious or something less so?
Thanks,
Sean

Re: [gentoo-user] tftp config problem (ltsp)
Looked over the directory structure in the tftp directory compared to what was setup in the ltsp directory. Found some differences. Copied over a directory called 2.6.17.80ltsp-1 which contained all the needed files in proper placement to tftp under the same original name. Adjusted some conf files to point where needed and my test laptop started to boot. First problem I ran into here was due to the touch mouse hardware. It caused the boot to hang or panic. I deactivated the touch mouse and the boot restarted and progressed further till another problem. During the boot process was getting error notices about not being able to connect to the nfs server. Did some research and found this sometimes occurs when the speed of the server nic is so much faster then the client nic. Apparently this showed up with the 2.6 kernel. Anyway, some more tweeks and had a successful boot and was greeted by the KDE login screen. Logged in and was greeted by my usual desktop. Setting are still default so will play with them for such things as sound. Decided to order a diskless workstation from http://www.disklessworkstation.com/ They appear to be a supporter of the ltsp project. Also ordered an etherboot model, since that is an open standard. Now when that shows up get to beat on it for a while. Thanks all for the help, Sean -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

At this link http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ltsp.xml near the bottom in the FAQ there is a question posted about using the soundcard of a workstation.

I'll second it, why complicate simple design; going from text file configuration to xml :-( I agree, right now it is a step backward. A nasty one. But if there were some sort of repository that you could just download a config, or it automatically fetches, then that would be an improvement. If the repository was setup for example like the Gentoo-Portage.com site interface, it might make things real easy. Just think, you search for a device like a Kensington Mouse or keyboard. A list is presented of what features a config which has been created will do for that device, you pick and download it into the proper directory, done! Of course also set things up so people could upload a config they have made or tweaked with some details of what it does.

I've already emerged them, but I'd like to have them available as separate sessions when I log in, and possibly migrate to one of them as default (or only) session available. I've only used KDE and Gnome in the past, and they are very polished, at least in the aspect that they automatically are added as alternative sessions. I know we have some alternative window manager users around, so I figured this would be the best place to ask how to set these alternative window managers up in Gentoo. I have a couple of boxen, one that uses gdm and one that uses kdm. It would be nice if the instructions were portable between both of these X login managers, but I'm fairly confident that I can use instructions for either one to set up the other.

If its 32bit, you would need some of the emul-linux-x86 packages, perhaps app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs to get the 32bit libqt-mt.. yoyo Unfortunately the package wants the arts use flag in place, and I do not want arts installed.

[gentoo-user] Xine and Mplayer Sound problems
Recently whenever I try to play a CD, or a file such as an .avi, Xine instead generates a xine-out.wav and no sound. The video portion looks perfect. If I play the xine-out.wav, it is the audio track from the file I tried to play. Trying to play that same .avi with Mplayer yields a pop-up window. It reports an error, DVB card number must be between 1 and 4. Like Xine, the video portion displays without problems. Anyone have any ideas on possible causes? Trying something like Ekiga, which has sound and video, works without problems. Thanks Sean
[gentoo-user] i386 vs amd64
I have a dual opteron here and I am thinking of putting Gentoo on it. I am trying to decide to go with either the amd64 or i386 version. From looking over the online portage database it does appear that at least openoffice-bin 1.1.5 lists as available and 2.0 in testing for amd64, one of my main apps I use often, beside firefox and thunderbird. I have several Loki game titles around, are they able to run on amd64 gentoo? So I am asking some Gentoo amd64 users, are you happy with the version or would you have gained more with i386? Do most applications work on amd64 or are there some important ones missing? I know above is a little broad, but I am just trying to get an idea of the state of amd64. I have been looking over the list for several days now, but not much traffic. I also posted this to the amd64 list directly. Thanks Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] partition sizes and home directories
I know this can be a tough call on how to partition a drive, but I am looking for some input. My system will be used as for my own personal use, no server for outside, though I may run a web server for private in home use, some games, whatever I wish to play and experiment. Users, mainly just me, and perhaps a family member or three. Here is what I quickly setup. $ df -h FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 471M 271M 176M 61% / udev 1004M 208K 1004M 1% /dev /dev/hda1 38M 2.6M 34M 8% /boot /dev/hda5 4.6G 185M 4.2G 5% /var /dev/hda6 31G 2.3G 27G 8% /usr shm 1004M 0 1004M 0% /dev/shm What caught me off guard was that fact that /home is located under / and that is where my user profiles are being set, instead of /usr/home like it is on my freebsd system. When I copied over my personal files, it quickly filled up the / partition, which I have since deleted. Now I noticed that there is a /usr/home, what exactly is that used for, since users are not there by default? I would figure /boot does not really change much in size, leave as is, maybe shrink a few mb. /var, up and down, perhaps bring it down a gig, gig and a half. /usr, would grow depending on software installs, much as possible. I have not installed much currently. If /home was on its own, I am guessing that the current / allocation would be fine? Anyone confirm? Now I just have to figure what I want /home to be, or perhaps could the default setup for users be located in /usr/home? Would this cause problems? Is it non standard?

Try running the emerge again, but there's a fair likelihood that you will hit a further mask, like package.mask. If so, you should again consider if you *really* want to unmerge this package; if it's masked up the wazoo, are you sure that you have the time and energy to deal with the problems it apparently has, and help solve them? If not, find an alternative (like openoffice-bin, which is marked as unstable for amd64). If so, then add the package to /etc/portage/package.unmask =app-office/openoffice-2.0.0 and see how far you get. Be warned, it's quite possible that the package will not compile, or will have problems compiling-- openoffice is quite hard to compile under the best of circumstances, and these are not them. There have been a lot of changes, both in the program itself (hence the 2.0 version) and in the supporting infrastructure (gtk libraries, freedesktop.org specs, X itself not to mention the deeper backend libraries), and how these things are going to interact on a 'sensitive' system architecture is anybody's guess. But of course, somebody has to take the plunge and report back for the issue to progress any further, so if you want to do that, good luck.

[gentoo-user] no prompt for password
Just built a system and all was going great, first time I have tried Linux in a very long time. After finishing up the build all worked fine till I was trying to get sound in place, followed the instructions for alsa in the handbook. Anyway, finished up, restarted the system, and now the system will show a login, I enter the user or root, but it never prompts to enter a password. Then just times out and eventually shows the login again. No X configured, just the console, like I said, a brand new setup. Using the Live CD booted up and tried to change the password, hopefully thought that would just kick things back in place, no luck, neither root or the one user I currently have added is being prompted to enter a password. Also looked at the modules that are to be loaded, it looks fine. Before configuring for sound the only module was s2io, obviously have more now.

Well, http://wiki.kraszewscy.net/Cross_DistCC shows how to do it (in Polish,
sorry).
In short:
---8X---[ setup for COMPILER machine (AMD64) ]---
1. make directory /opt/cross32/bin
2. make there a file i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper containing
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g${0:$[-2]} -m32 $@
3. make it executable
4. make soft links in that directory
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper gcc
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper g++
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper c++
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper cc
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++
ln -s i686-pc-linux-gnu-wrapper i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc
5. copy /etc/init.d/distccd to /etc/init.d/distccd32
6. fix /etc/init.d/distccd32 to have
TMPDIR=${TMPDIR} \
PATH=/opt/cross32/bin \
/sbin/start-stop-daemon –start –quiet –startas ${DISTCCD_EXEC} \
7. copy /etc/conf.d/distccd to /etc/conf.d/distccd32
8. fix /etc/conf.d/distccd to have
DISTCCD_OPTS=${DISTCCD_OPTS} --port 3664
---8X---[ end of setup for COMPILER machine (AMD64) ]---
Now you have two distccd daemons:
* one at port 3632 for 32-bit distcompiling
* one at port 3664 for 64-bit distcompiling
At this point your Opterons will handle remote 32-bit compiling - you don't
need to make any changes on P4 machine other than activating regular distcc.
Thanks Pawel,
Your steps are obviously a bit different then those listed here.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml
So you are stating just emerge crossdev, the run crossdev -t
and from the point where the web page states Here is what you want to
do: (1.2) follow the instructions you listed here, rather then the web
page?
