has anyone written a script that checks for glsa security updates and
then has it auto emerge the packages it needs to get rid of the
security risk? if so i would be very interested in looking at that
script. Keeping 5 gentoo machines up to date security wise is
becoming very time consuming.

right, but i want to know that the package im going to remove because
its blocking something else isnt needed by another package
is this bad or is it ok to ignore? when ever i start spamd it gives me

sorry for the simple question.
how can i completely remove a program and have it get rid of the conf files and any other temp files it leaves around? i want to start from scratch with some programs and dont want to have to manually search and remove those files.

What about interactively logging into mysql with the providedcredentials? Does that work?
i can log in just fine with the user and pass i have specified in the conf files.
