 Dear gentoo friends,

 i want to network 12 pcs. so can any body advice me for a good
 technology(wireless or wired??).price is not a problem, so what
 will be the best technology among wireless  wired?

For me, wired is better all the way, ist safer (wardriving) and faster
(GBit). Therefore it is not as flexible as wireless...

 I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I

AFAIR the IPP-Adress has to be: ipp://[Host]/[PrinterName]
in your case this would mean: ipp://hostname2.STUDY/Compaq-HP


 Would you know why it can't resolve hostname2.STUDY? Am I meant to
 add the printer name on the ipp://192.168.0.3/ipp?

So... yes... :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Simple SMTP queue for a laptop

 Hey guys,

 I know there must be a bunch of these out there, but there's always
 a problem with signal-to-noise for this kind of question.

 I have a laptop, from which I would like to be able to send mail
 whenever I feel like it. This laptop is only occasionally
 connected to the internet, and has very low resources (so memory
 resident daemons are less favourable).

 So what I'm looking for is a program that acts like 'sendmail' (so
 that I can send email from mutt), and when it gets mail to send it
 stores it in a queue.

 When I'm connected to a network, I can then manually dump the queue
 onto the smtp server *of my choice*, since the server would very
 depending on where I'm plugged into.

 Some kind of command like:

 $ sudo dump_all_mail_to smtp.wherever.i.am.net

 Does such a program exist? Really I'm just looking for something
 like ssmtp, but with a queue.

 Any ideas?

 Thanks!

 Tom

Just found... look at mail-mta/esmtp

http://esmtp.sourceforge.net/

It will do deliver on user based configuration,queueing for
dial-up-connections and local delivery via MDA.

[gentoo-user] SIL0680 Rev E - Raid 1 - Problems

2005-09-18 Thread Oliver Friedrich
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

in my Server is a SIL0680 Rev E Raid-Controller working with two
HDDs mounted.
My kernel needet
 * Silicon Image chipset support
to akzept this one and find the mounted HDDs properly.

The problem is the RAID-1 Mode, the controller gives back, that the
Raid ist working, but my gentoo finds the two HDDs, but not the device
for the Raid.

But if I activate the following in the Kernel:
 [*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) * RAID support
   Linear (append) mode   RAID-0 (striping) mode * RAID-1
 (mirroring) mode   RAID-4/RAID-5 mode   RAID-6 mode *
 Multipath I/O support   Faulty test module for MD   Device
 mapper support

ls /dev gives me an /dev/md0 back.

With /dev/md0 however I can't do anything, e.g:

 svr linux # mkfs.xfs /dev/md0 Error getting MD array info from
 /dev/md0

It seems, that /dev/md0 is a Node for a Software Raid, but i didn't
configure one. So why is ist created by udev, when no software-raid is
defined?
If /dev/md0 is a node for the hardware-raid of the controller, then
why can't I use it?

Anyone got this controller to work properly?

thx ahead...

 Hi all, I having some strange problem on my VPN :(

 I had configured openvpn as tunnel server-client; had a tun
 interface .

 I started the open vpn using 10.8.0.0 network and has my private
 net at 192.168.0.0 and the open vpn is running at 192.168.0.230

 I started one client; the client sync receive an IP 10.8.0.5 and
 the route to 192.168.0.0 network;

 Until now everything looks ok, but here is the strange sinc, I can
 ping 10.8.0.1 and I can ping 192.168.0.230 but when I try to ping
 192.168.0.1 it got connection time out 


There is the Problem, the 10.8.0.0 Network is only for the connection,
your client is on 192.168.0.0 and your server is on 192.168.0.0 too...
so as long as the tunnel exists, your server has two 192.168.0.230,
one localy and one on the other side of the tunnel...

client and server must not be in same subnet, since then the tunnel
can cause IP conflicts.

Sorry for my bad english

Pinnacles Support is nuts, haven't answered mails vor 3/4 of a year by

 Is this daemon running? Try (as root)

 (or, change the settings and reboot)

HI,

You'll have to emerge sys-power/acpid to get the daemon.
