I've successfully compiled new kernel with ancient egcs64 from
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/updates/6.0/sparc/egcs64-19980921-4.sparc.html

I wasn't sure if gentoo had cpio or rpm. I've never used gentoo before,
all I needed was a live linux cd.

Mea culpa, thanks for the info. I have recompiled it this way then.

ldap / pam / tcb / popa3d / maildir

Dear Openwall User, 

i am trying to setting up a mail server with owl stable as base
system. First my experiences, 

- postfix setup with Maildir support works fine.

- recompile glibc to include nscd and attach an init script.

So far, all went OK. My users are all on a directory server. For 
that i build openldap and nss/pam stuff for ldap.

- postfix works now fine with that ldap users. (i recompiled
 for alias queries to ldap, not necessary for ldap users)

 $ getent passwd/groups 

shows me that what i want to see.

Now my interferences:

Doing an 'su' to a ldap user works of course for root but showing:

 Account management:- Insufficient credentials 
 to access authentication data

My primary focus is popa3d and not suing. For that i didn't 
try to customize pam.d/su for ldap users (cause i also think its 
to entangled with tcb) but i compiled popa3d with Maildir support
and

Why do you need nscd?

Are you sure you want your users to be system accounts?
I mean, instead of tweaking system-wide settings (nsswitch.conf
etc) and enabling ldap there, you can use ldap for email only,
tweaking postfix and pop3 configs.  Mind you, almost every
network-aware user storage (ldap, sql, etc) is inherently
insecure - it's very difficult to set it up properly so that
security level will be acceptable.

Ofcourse, if you will not use system accounts, you may have some
troubles enabling such features like maildir quotas (which are
implemented using filesystem quotas when your mail users are
system users as well).

Hello Michael,

for cacheing - just in case the directory service isn't up. 
To keep a small time window where mail services still work.
Well, its my intention. Extensive tests will follow.

Don't misunderstand me, i'm aware of that. They exists a lot of
ways for mailsetups. Especially in conjunction with ldap services.
Indeed i agree with you.

Troubles with building packages

I have some troubles with build new packages from sources.
System can't find C preprocessor.

For example I try to build samba-3.0.20a:

$ ./counfigure
...
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp                
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check    
...

Version: Owl-current-20050913

Please look configure.log for more verbose error description.

CU!

I had this same problem myself in May this year. Here's the posting I 
made back then (to owl-devel, which isn't archived unfortunately).

-----------
I ran into some weird errors while packaging coreutils, where its 
configure script for some obscure reason attempted to run /lib/cpp as 
the preprocessor. Adding the following lines to the %configure macro 
seems to have solved the problem (and made it embarrassingly obvious 
that I had forgotten to install the kernel-headers). The addendum is 
most likely a good idea anyways since it can prevent some problems with 
ill-behaved ./configure scripts.

%configure
   CC="${CC:-%__cc}" ; export CC ; \
   CPP="${CPP:-%__cpp}" ; export CPP ; \
   CFLAGS (and so on...)

PLS need help with new ISO rebuilding


Hello!

I've got a problem with using rebuilded iso image of Owl cd-rom.

There was nesessary to change bzImage (and also System.map) to use new hardware (LSI SCSI controller). New
bzImage was builded successfully. After building new kernel, i've did the following

# cd /mnt
# mount /home/zorg/iso/Owl-current-20050703-i386.iso /mnt/disk -o loop
# mkdir OWL
# cd disk
# cp -a * ../OWL/.
# umount /mnt/disk

after that i've change bzImage and System.map in /mnt/OWL/boot

# chroot /mnt/OWL
# cd /boot
# /boot/floppy-update.sh

here is the output

80+0 records in
80+0 records out

New bzImage was builded successfully. After building new kernel, i've did the following

Have your kernel rebuild was based on the config file from the original
Owl ISO kernel?  To add something you should just copy /boot/config (I
could misspell there since I have no ISO right now) to
/usr/src/linux/.config, then 'make menuconfig', etc.

Sorry for offtopic.

Sorry for my poor english, I know about it. 'built' now it's correct, I hope.
