How do I share a printer between several Linux Desktops and a Linux
Server without using samba?
My server already has the printer installed locally and working
correctly with CUPS.
I need to know
A) Text configuration to enable sharing to the 192.168.0.0 network
B) Text configuration for clie
I'm not trying to do anything complicated like protect a LAN or include
a DMZ or run an ftp server or anything like that. I'm just looking for
a quick and easy way to add another layer of protection to my desktop by
closing all unused ports.

From the looks of the script you aren't testing for a "regular file",
hence "-f" doesn't work.
I tested it on my machine
WORKS:
ACTION=add
DEVICE=/tmp/testfile
DOESN'T WORK:
ACTION=add
DEVICE=/dev/sda1
SCRIPT:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "${ACTION}" == "add" ] && [ -f "${DEVICE}" ]; then
I don't think LVM2 cares about partitions. AFAIK you only use fdisk
(marking partitions as 8e? for lvm2) to be polite to other OSes that
don't auto-detect like Linux does.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening to you, but try this:
vgchange -a y; vgchange -a n
vgchange -a y; vgchange -a n

You can use it all or into chunks of 20GB each as the how-to suggests;
I agree. I think the biggest reason to use the whole drive as one
logical partition would be if you had dual SATA and you were striping.
It's nice to have that extra space available as non-LVM2 just in case
you need it. A

No, but would you rather build everything as a module (in case you find
that you do need it at some point) or build research each module
individually to find out what it is that you need
are you accessing it as /dev/sda or /dev/uba?
Ever since the new "usb-block device" option has been in the kernel I've
noticed this as well. I don't believe it has anything to do with the
sync option, but I have been known to be wrong.
I can't remember off the top of my head, but if you check

I certainly do. What about ssh multiple-login attacks? I know that pam

iptables really isn't that difficult if you just want to do what the
average home user wants to do- accept certain services and block
everything else.
Provided that you have kernel support for iptables you can just
copy/paste some example code in a text file.

As regarding the partitioning, I would recommend using LVM2. Then no
matter how you might mess up your partitioning in the beginning you can
change it to suit your needs by resizing it on the fly - live - without
rebooting or even unmounting.
Check the official guide as well as gentoo-wiki.com
I know that Google Video is still in it's infancy, but hey, gentoo is
all about bleeding-edge, right?
I'm wondering if anyone has managed to get it working yet - and if so,
would you be kind enough to share?
I've done some initial research and put up a stub page here:

Ryan,
Looks like you're using Network Block Devices? Did you mean to do this?
If you did, then perhaps the machines which host the nbds are not ready?
I don't know much about nbd, just the name really, but that would be my
best guess.

Assuming that you have udev, take a look in here:
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
and you should see
KERNEL="ippp0", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty"
perhaps when you upgraded ppp* changed to ippp*?
you could try changing the configuration of the program you're using to
use ippp* if this is the
I had that problem a while ago, the solution is also on the gentoo wiki.
In addition to the forums and bug reports, check gentoo-wiki.com
whenever you've got a problem. There's TONS of valueable information
there. There's a searchbar plugin for firefox.

Craig,
I'm looking to use Veritas BackupEXEC 10 on several of my servers, and would like to know if anyone knows how to get a backup exec agent to work properly with gentoo. It seems a simple enough question, but I've found nothing useful through the documentation, and their support folks don't e
