a graphical Owl

hi list,
i have searched in archives but i have found no answer.
i'm tryng to use Owl as primaty os because i like a lot this distro, but i 
need also a graphical context.

my optimus should be a kde 3.1 (with liquid style) and X 4.3.. 
but i'm opened to every solution.
in the condition of Owl 1.0 which are rpm, libraries or source i need
and what are the known problems with that (mainly at securiyt level)
or at graphical ie: with slk 9.0 and X 4.3 fonts look very bad nor with X 4.2.

tnx, a new but willing user.

iproute2 & iputils fail to compile

Hi,
	While building a new machine, I ran into troubles getting the above 
packages to compile.  They are being compiled against a 2.4.22 kernel 
source tree.  I thought the BUILD doc used to say that a 2.2 kernel 
tree was required to build user land, but the latest BUILD doc says a 
2.2 or 2.4 kernel will work.  Is a 2.2 kernel tree still required to 
build user land?
	Both packages are returning the same error messages.  I've included 
the relevant parts of the iproute2 build log below:

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the report.

No, either 2.2.x or 2.4.x should do.  (But the produced binaries are
slightly different.  In particular, you only get Large File Support if
you build against 2.4.x.)

Something broke between 2.4.21 and 2.4.22.  I can reproduce this now,
and will deal with it.

Will do.

While Owl is intended for servers and we have no intent to ever
include X in the base system, yes, you can also use it on a desktop if
you like.  I do.

There're several approaches:

1. Use binary packages from Red Hat Linux 6.2 updates, or from a RHL
6.x clone.  This is probably the easiest.  There're just two caveats
that I remember: their X server package relies on pam_console, which
we chose to not package, and xlock will need special permissions to
work on Owl.

The first is solved by replacing the pam_console line in
/etc/pam.d/xserver with:

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow onerr=fail file=/etc/xserver.allow

Then you list the users which need to run X in /etc/xserver.allow.

The second is solved by making /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock SGID to group

Pump package

I installed openwall and noticed that there is no pump package nor any other
dchp client, although in the initialization scripts there is a reference
to /sbin/pump. I looked for packages in the ftp and didn't find. Where is
the pump package?

Re: a graphical Owl


Just another item to add to the X discussion...

I've built Mozilla Firebird for Owl, as the default one you
can download from mozilla.org complains the Glibc is too old.

There is no pump package in Owl, but you can use dhclient from the dhcp
package (native/Owl/packages/dhcp).

Set BUILD_DHCP_CLIENT to 1 in dhcp.spec, recompile and install
dhcp-client. Note: The client runs currently as user root without privilege
separation or anything else.

It wasn't the case when I built Mozilla 1.1 on Owl a year ago.  You
can get the RPMs here:

ftp://ftp1.ru.openwall.com/pvt/Mozilla/

Of course, this stuff is very unofficial and unsupported.
