[gentoo-user] modifying timezone
Hello list, as one or two of you may already know, Argentina is going to implement daylight saving time from December 30th until march 16th. We're going from GMT-03 (now) to GMT-02 (dec-mar), and my question is: what do I need to do to correctly modify my timezone? Google doesn't help this time.

I found it learns very quickly what I consider spam and what not. I also tend to go through the spam folder whenever there's 10 or more messages there. That would mean I need to live my life in the spam folder. I'm sorry but the filter should be smarter or there should be no filter at all.

Quoting Nikos Chantziaras : Why? Does Gentoo forget how to do something? Why can't you just "set and forget" your Gentoo boxes? Gentoo is difficult to install. For who? And BTW, that doesn't answer the question. Also, if it's left un-updated for longer periods of time, it tends to break on the next update Maybe, but only if you go from abi-1 to abi-2. For example, you can't expect moving from gcc-2 to gcc-3 to gcc-4 being painless. . I guess that's the downside of being versionless. Debian on the other hand, due to it being versioned, doesn't have that problem. I can't move debian from tomato to lenny without problems. set PORTAGE_NICENESS=19 in /etc/make.conf I'll just hay "ah, ah, ah" at that one :P OK, I'll also say that it doesn't work.

[gentoo-user] resolving blocks from sets
Hello list,
well. I couldn't resist and I emerged kde4.2 with something like this:
sudo emerge @kdebase
Now I want to upgrade Qt to 4.5beta but (see below)
Is there any obvious way to solve this that can't see because it's 2AM
and need some sleep or are @sets _evil_ ?
And before you jump and tell me "hey, just remove the packages and
update Qt" see this:
$ sudo emerge -C kdm-4.1.96
Not unmerging package kde-base/kdm-4.1.96 as it is
still referenced by the following package sets:
kdebase
Do I _really_ need to do "emerge -C @kdebase!"?
sudo emerge @qt-all-4.5
Calculating dependencies... done!

What's so bad/hard about pam that everyone wants to remove it? Maybe if you ask for directions you'll end up learning pam. Hiding the problem under the carpet pretending you're doing the right thing is not the best you can do.

That was not your question. You redefined it, but I'll answer anyway: PAM helps you to have a stackable authentication system like: Kerberos LDAP Files If kerberos is available use it. If not, try ldap, and if that fails too, use files (passwd/shadow) Or you could combine the three methods!! (but you'll have to type up to three passwords) Or maybe you have a pendrive with a digital certificate you want to use to authenticate privileged users. What about biometrics (fingerprints, etc) combined with passwords and/or digital certificates? About security. I fail to see how removing PAM will magically make your system more secure.

When was the last time you've seen a SA about PAM? One of its plugins? I'm not saying PAM is absolutely secure, but removing it will not make your box more secure nor easier to configure. On the other hand, learning PAM has its benefits. Bye

The diference between "oldconfig" and just "make" is that oldconfig will present a prompt when a new option was added. You could as well run menuconfig, and you'll see new options labeled with NEW, or something like that. If you just run make (without doing oldconfig or menuconfig first), then the new options will take the default build option. It may vary between Y and N depending on the module, developer, God, a photon coming out of some distant star, and the mood of a butterfly sitting in some flower on Japan. Regards, Norberto

[gentoo-user] kdeprefix is broken?
Hello list, I emerged KDE-4.2 (RC first, final now) and Phonon wasn't getting any backend. No video, no sound. After recompiling KDE-4.2 with -kdeprefix, I see both Xine and Gstreamer listed as backends. So the question is: is kdeprefix a deprecated/not recommended/broken/unsupported feature? I never needed more than one KDE version at the same time, but I like to have it separate from the rest of the system. Thanks, Norberto

If I understand you correctly, then no. You can't. But you can -for example- use one link or the other based on source ip address. At work, we have one ISP for everyone, and one ISP for "emergency" (iso downloads, etc) So, if source IP is 192.168.10.11 (mine) I route the traffic via the "emergency" link and voila: I have 5Mbps for myself :) Or you can route based on destination IP, or let the router decide which link to use. > I found some Ubuntu docs here: > > http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-521386.html > Maybe you'll find this link interesting: http://lartc.org Regards, Norberto

Gentoo has -from my point of view- only one benefit: if you're a developer, you'll love Gentoo as every dev-dependency is already installed. Other than that, I see none. Now, if Gentoo devs could be as kind as -for example- Ubuntu devs, that would rock. But they aren,t and so -after 7 years- I'm looking for another distro to migrate to. Kubuntu is one of my favorites. I'm testing Fedora and openSuSE. Who will win? Gentoo just doesn't make sense anymore for me - unless you're a masochist :)

Re: [gentoo-user] no shorewall
Quoting Jorge Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: the problem is with "accounting", and in kernel 2.6.20 I had an entry with that name selected. But with 2.6.22 that entry is no longer selectable (it has --), so I assume its functionallity went somewhere else... "--" means you can't deselect (because its pulled by something else...) Have you recompiled iptables? Try selecting everything (netfilter I mean) as modules.

Re: [gentoo-user] no shorewall
Quoting Jorge Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Have you recompiled iptables? I recompiled iptables once after emerging 2.6.22. Should I do it every time I make some changes to the kernel configuration, or when I "make modules"? Usually it isn't needed but it won't hurt. Actually, I was out of ideas. I run shorewall, but it's a Debian box (kernel 2.6.18-something...) Try every netfilter option as module. If the problem continues, perhaps you'll like to ask on shorewall's mailing lists if there are know issues with 2.6.22. BTW: a quick Googling shows netfilter is somewhat buggy on 2.6.22: http://www.mail-archive.com/shorewall-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg02999.html http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8789 Perhaps you're just hitting a bug :-/ Regards, Norberto This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel vs kernel manual compilation
Quoting Arnau Bria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: My original question was: what a the differences between my manual compilation and genkernel's one? No differences if you use the same config. Perhaps there're two or three things in the initrd you wouldn't find if you do a manual mkinitrd, but the kernel itself (and modules) are not different.

That's normal. You're running chage from strace ;)
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/shadow", O_RDONLY) = 3
chage: can't open password file
open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY)= 3
Hm... Can you run strace without -eopen?
