Did you try the modified ebuild I posted? Ran Eve for a couple hours last night without issue using the patches.

Greetings,

Right off the bat is sounds like you are probably using Wine 0.9.42 or 0.9.43. I know that 0.9.42 broke Eve, and it looks like 0.9.43 does as well, I would recommend dropping back to 0.9.41 and see if that works. If that doesn't work, make sure you have ariel.ttf in the right location ...

Greetings,

Yes you do, unless you wish to use the tls lib removal.

Greetings,
There aren't a lot of env vars in the shell and the script uses only one which shouldn't matter at all if it's present or not (it's at the end of the line so if it's blank it's ok)
Right off the bat, this sounds like the issue. When you use ssh for remote execution like that, the ...

Greeetings,
For whatever weird reason, my resolve.conf loses all of the nameservers in int once I reboot?
Right off the bat, it sounds like this system was once configured to use DHCP. With the system up, bring down the network by using the /etc/init.d/net.ethN down, where N is the ethernet ...

You are, of course, right. But doesn't choosing a very high non-standard portnumber protect you from portscans?
Yes and No. This will protect you from most script kiddie tools, however, those tools generally only scan standard ports. Sadly, most of the bot / zombie nets are using tools vastly ...

Greetings,
I have assigned an IP to the card. Assigned a gateway route (route add default gw 192.168.0.1) and when I do an net.wlan0 start it works. But still cant reach any Ip's on the network and still cant ping the gateway.
Let's go back to the basics, I suspect the problem is much more simple ...

Greetings,

Not sure if it will be valuable to you, but I would suggest looking at corkscrew for ssh. This will allow you to SSH using the web proxy on your network. Is a very power tol for SSH.

Greetings,
Whenever I start the uploads from my (2 weeks old) gentoo system, to the nfs mounts of the fileserver, I'm getting strange problems after a few minutes of uploading.
The upload seems to stall.(no network data in or out of my system) but when I start to check, the strangest things happen ...

The option you are showing, says to send or not to send the hostname to the DHCP server. As I understand it, that option has no effect if the dhcp server sends a pre-generated name. I should also point out that I already had the nosendhost option set and still had my hostname changed on me when I ...

Greetings,
The problem is that the prompt of the program uses a window in X to work and not just a terminal. So when I deattach from that screen the X window is still active on my laptop and if I close it, the program stops as well.
If you are running X on the remote machine as well, my ...

Greetings,
I get "Device initiated servce : net.eth0" on boot. This brings up the interface, which is never actually connected to anything. No biggie, I hope, but I hate waiting for it to DHCP. Is there any way to figure out what is trying to start it? I don't have it loading at boot.
Pretty much ...

James Wells: Wow. You must be the first one I've seen who doesn't like fail2ban. What was so annoying in it? :)
It's not so much that I dislike it, more that I don't 'like' it.

The reasoning is fairly simple. The core functionality of both fail2ban and sshdfilter is using iptables to block port ...

Depends on which dhcp client you use. So which one is it?
Using dhcp-3.0.5_beta1.

Anyway, I found what was causing the issue, though I am unsure whether this is intentional or accidental. In /sbin/dhclient-script, around line 135, the client script checks to see if the current hostname is ...

Hey there, I just mentioned that I had finished setting up NFS today. I do not need to use it for this project, anything will do.
Sorry, guess I misunderstood.

What's your opinion on setting up a webserver? I need to be able to access this anywhere, even libraries, whom restrict you from using ...

Greetings,

You mention that you are doing NFS. Since most ISP's won't route NFS/RPC, you will be unable to use this normally, however, if you are intent on doing NFS, I would suggest setting up openvpn. Openvpn will allow you to use NFS through the VPN tunnel.

If, instead, you are open to other ...

Greetings,
What I'd like to know from someone who has experience in these matters is if there's really no way to enable the following:

I can ping yahoo from inside the network.
Yahoo can't ping me.

You might want to check out hping and traceroute-ng. Hping will allow you to use port specific ...

Greetings,

I tried fail2ban and didn't like it. Instead I use;

iptables -A SSHD -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 86400 --hitcount 3 --rttl -j DROPLOG
iptables -A SSHD -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m recent --set -j ACCEPT

iptables -A DROPLOG -m limit --limit 3/minute ...

Yup. In my /etc/hosts file I have;
127.0.0.1 <MyLaptop FQDN> <MyLaptop> localhost.localdomain localhost

Something else I just noticed is that when I run DHCP at home, I get the same host as I have configured in my /etc/hosts so I have not issues there. Is there a way to tell dhcp not to set the ...

Greetings,
Also, when I ping any server, my 'pongs' from those servers come back in groups of threes, with a 1 second break period in between them.
If your D-Link has the ability to change the MTU, that is one of the first things I would look at. If your MTU is too low, it can cause some of your ...

Greetings,

I have recently begun having a strange problem on my laptop, when my system loses it's hostname entries after I start the wireless network.

To test this, I have run various combinations of hostname -a, hostname -f, etc. Before I bring up my wireless network, they all show the correct ...

Greetings,

If you already have IP tables installed, a simple solution is to modify your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, changing MaxAuthTries to 2. This will tell sshd to only allow two attempts per connect. Then you simply add the following to your iptables rules;

iptables -A SSHD -p tcp -m state ...

Greetings,
I found a thread that recommended cfengine as a good solution for managing multiple Gentoo servers. However, I'm not sold on that yet. I'm looking for something that will examine each server, determine the packages that are installed, determine the updates that are required, apply them ...

Greetings,
I have a server on my network which I admin and a few different computers access it. Basically I want to keep the passwd and group files updated on each machine without too much hassle.
Right off the bat, you are describing the ideal environment for cfengine. Cfengine is the ...
