11 Gentoo Developer Meeting at 21C3, 27 to 29 December 2004
12 --------------------------------------------------------
13
14 The 21st Chaos Communication Congress (21C3)[1] is a three-day conference
15 on technology, society and utopia. Traditionally held in the German
16 capital of Berlin between Christmas and New Year's Eve each year, the C3
17 offers lectures and workshops on information technology, IT security,
18 Internet, and cryptography, and offers a generally critical and creative
19 debate on technology and its effects on society.

21
22 Last year's 20C3 already had plenty of Gentoo developers and users attend
23 the conference, leading to the announcement of an official Gentoo
24 Developer Meeting to be held concurrently at this year's event. The Gentoo
25 Dev Meeting is scheduled for 28 December (the second day of the
26 conference) at 18:00 hours, the guestlist and the agenda are to be
27 announced at the 21C3's public wiki for Gentoo[2]. It will serve many
28 purposes, ranging from a simple get-together for (mainly European) Gentoo
29 developers, via exploring the possibilities for closer co-operation,
30 improved direct communication and more synergies in the network, to
31 improvements to the Gentoo project as a whole. We will define the state of
32 the European Gentoo developer network, and how we can improve developer
33 relations in that network, we will discuss ways to work together and help
34 each other with our efforts in maintaining and developing the Gentoo
35 distribution, now and in the future.

38 Besides the developer meeting, other Gentoo highlights at the 21c3 are not
39 to be missed, either, one being the Hardened Gentoo presentation of
40 Alexander Gabert[3] on 28 December at 15:00, an introduction to the
41 hardened toolchain, the PaX kernel, strong DAC/MAC control mechanisms and
42 the project's thorough low-entry oriented user documentation, all-in-all
43 providing "full scale" protection for a wide range of home to enterprise
44 users. On the exhibition and activity floor of the conference, the
45 traditional "hackcenter"[4], a Gentoo table will be set up to meet, greet
46 and play around with Gentoo Linux.

50 Getting to know each other, sharing experience and planning future
51 activities are important goals of this meeting, but we do count on its
52 being fun at the same time. Please contact Marc Hildebrand[5] if you like
53 to attend or wish to add to the agenda.

56 New Gentoo Linux 2004.3-r1 release announced
57 --------------------------------------------
58
59 Following quickly on the footsteps of the highly successful 2004.3
60 release, the Release Engineering project has put out a maintenance release
61 for some architectures. Supplying a maintenance release was open to all
62 architectures, but only a few found it necessary to provide one. There are
63 very few changes in the release media, and this only fixes a few bugs
64 which kept some people from installing. The affected architectures and
65 their respective changes are:
66
67 * Alpha - New LiveCD with a correct aboot.conf, stages and livecd moved
68 to /releases
69 * AMD64 - New LiveCD with corrected Speakup support, pnpbios is turned
70 off by default, and distfiles for dhcpcd, slocate, usbutils, and pciutils
71 added to the Universal CD
72 * HPPA - This CD adds lvm2 support to the LiveCD
73 * x86 - Additions identical as for AMD64, and the x86 PackageCD was
74 recompiled due to a missing glib dependency on kdegraphics
75
76 You can find the maintenance release media in the same location as the
77 2004.3 release media on your favorite Gentoo mirror.

79 UK Gentoo Developer Meeting Preannouncement
80 -------------------------------------------
81
82 The UK-based Gentoo developers are pleased to announce that the Gentoo UK
83 2005 Conference will be held on Saturday 12th March 2005 at the University
84 of Salford, with social events the night before and the night after. The
85 theme for this year's Conference is "Success with Gentoo", and they will
86 be running both a Speakers Programme and a Demonstration Programme.
87 They're inviting developers and users alike who wish to take part in the
88 programme to submit their proposals before 31st December 2004. For more

96 Gentoo on a 256MB USB stick: Flash Linux
97 ----------------------------------------
98
99 Note: Topics for this section may occasionally include projects that are
100 not officially part of Gentoo, but affect it in one way or the other. This
101 could be development in the wild that is is bound to end up being a Gentoo
102 project in the future, or something that's inspired by and based on
103 Gentoo, but heads off in a different direction all by itself. One of the
104 latter is the topic for this week's column:
105
106 FlashLinux[7] is a customized Linux variant designed to be run directly
107 off a USB key or similar forms of bootable flash memory. Gareth Bult and
108 his helpers have based their trimmed-to-fit binary distribution entirely
109 on Gentoo Linux, with a special focus on Gnome 2.8, and the aim to to
110 produce something that would encourage Windows users to give Linux a try.
111 "The applications we included may not be a programmer's dream, but we're
112 hoping they're what the average user is looking to get from a modern
113 desktop system," says Gareth. Currently included are Evolution, XChat,
114 Firefox, and a Ximian build of OpenOffice, along with many more[8].
115 7. http://www.encryptec.net/flashlinux/
116 8. http://www.encryptec.net/flashlinux/flash032/index.html
117
118 The choice of Gentoo as the base for Flash Linux seemed obvious, even if
119 generously overlooking the fact that its creator is a Gentoo user who has
120 been running his web servers on Gentoo Linux for the past twelve months.
121 "I was looking for something as nippy as possible, and the task was to fit
122 a quart into a pint pot," he explains - implicitly leaving little to no
123 alternatives to FlashLinux being based on Gentoo. Provided a (x86 or
124 AMD64) computer's BIOS allows for booting off a USB stick in the first
125 place, the FlashLinux key fires up a 2.6.7-gentoo-r14 kernel, autoconfig
126 comes from the Knoppix tools and provides hardware detection, and
127 mkxf86config does the X setup. There's a GRUB based choice of either LAN
128 or dialup configurations, at two different screen resolutions each.

133
134 "Everybody knows the LAN setup works perfectly in the Gentoo LiveCDs, but
135 we were surprised how well dialup is integrated, too," says Gareth Bult.
136 While comments he received from early adopters show mostly awe that this
137 fits onto a 256MB key - that even keeps 50MB of free space - the stick
138 itself is where the developers identify a decisive factor. According to
139 them, the choice of media is crucial for a usable configuration: "USB 1.0
140 keys only transfer data at 1Mbps and are unusable when it comes to
141 FlashLinux. But even USB 2.0 keys do not really transfer data at 480Mbps,
142 typical rates vary between 5 and 10Mbps." But even the more expensive
143 recommendations in USB memory sticks are typically still within a 30 USD
144 price range.
145
146 The FlashLinux creator has placed his work under the GPL, and hopes for
147 outside help from people interested in different aspects, like making the
148 USB sticks ADSL-ready, solving bootsplash issues with newer kernels, and
149 other contributions or ideas that are most welcome. The contact address is

156 Open DC Hub: Remote code execution
157 ----------------------------------
158
159 Open DC Hub contains a buffer overflow that can be exploited to allow
160 remote code execution.

165 Sun and Blackdown Java: Applet privilege escalation
166 ---------------------------------------------------
167
168 The Java plug-in security in Sun and Blackdown Java environments can be
169 bypassed to access arbitrary packages, allowing untrusted Java applets to
170 perform unrestricted actions on the host system.
171
172 For more information, please see the GLSA Announcement[10]

174
175 rssh, scponly: Unrestricted command execution
176 ---------------------------------------------
177
178 rssh and scponly do not filter command-line options that can be exploited
179 to execute any command, thereby allowing a remote user to completely
180 bypass the restricted shell.

201 To opt or not to opt. That is the question!
202
203 A discussion regarding the location of the gentoo-rsync-mirror ebuild's
204 install popped up this week. Why was it in /opt? Shouldn't it be in /usr?
205 A series of (opinioned) answers came in, including some brief history of
206 where /opt came from in the first place.

211 Gentoo... Limiting?
212
213 One of the Gentoo provisions is that users have full control over their
214 system. Is this true? One lister posed this question on the gentoo-user
215 mailing list this week. It of course spawned a great discussion. The short
216 of it is that Gentoo is as configurable as you want it to be, as long as
217 you learn the tools in Portage fully.

246 Italy: GentooDay report
247 -----------------------
248
249 "Macelli Comunali", the municipal slaughterhouse, sounds a bit strange for
250 a meeting in the framework of the Italian LinuxDay, but the Gechi's
251 contact in Prato, a nice little town near Florence, assured penguins of
252 the Gentoo variety wouldn't run any danger: It's an old palace now, used
253 as meeting spot and conference hall for many activities of non-profit
254 organizations.
255
256 The place was cold, but the Gechi effectively heated it with their
257 computers. Half an hour into the event, the distfiles and rsync mirror for
258 people was set up, and the LAN was fully working for present Gentoo users
259 to do a few happy emerges. Being curious about each other characterized
260 much of the atmosphere in the morning, since it was the first meeting ever
261 for many of the Gechis. While others continued to trickle in, Giulio
262 Salani (zuglio)[17] explained about his Vidalinux tests, and Matteo
263 Pescarin (peach)[18] showed his wonderful posters.

267 In the afternoon Giacomo Benvenuti (benve)[19] did a ceremonial first
268 download from the new experimental Italian Gentoo mirror in Bologna[20],
269 and some people created a distcc LAN between their laptops.

273 Then it was time for the presentations, and the first was about Andrea
274 Perotti's (deadhead)[21] "Success stories of Gentoo in commercial
275 companies". Unfortunately, Andrea had to fight the projector for an hour,
276 and could only begin after that, leaving no time for Giovanni Ferri's
277 (FonderiaDigitale)[22]'s talk about the "Creation of a blackbox for
278 securing your network environment" that was also planned for the afternoon
279 slot. Giovanni's extraordinary presentation was finally held later that
280 night, but ordinary visitors had all left by then, he only spoke to a
281 nucleus of Gentoo activists, all well-fed with an intriguing local
282 delicacy known as an F2 sandwich.

298 group. A new website[23] has been set up that carries many new services,
299 including a brand new Austrian Gentoo user forum, and an RSS feed for
300 local news. Stammtisch-type regular meetings are being organized every
301 month, with the next one to take place on 16 December. Check the event

308
309 Karl Hansl reports from the first meeting in Nürnberg last week: "Local
310 Gentoo users met and discussed typical Linux topics, such as which
311 motorcycle brand was faster, Kawasaki or Honda, and had some off-topic
312 chats about programming, too. Current experience tells us that GUGN
313 participants come from all ranges of society, self-employed, students, IT
314 interns, and professional sysadmins. We'll definitely meet again, on 5
315 January 2005, and hope that others can join us then."

453 Revival of the Compose Key a.k.a. Multi_Key
454 -------------------------------------------
455
456 Many users are on a keyboard layout which does not allow to type other
457 characters than those printed on the keys. There are some workarounds with
458 so-called "deadkeys" so that you can type characters with accents, but
459 that does not enable you to type all characters in your locale.
460
461 On many Unix-machines you can find a "Compose Key" on the attached
462 keyboard. With that special key you can "compose" the desired character.
463 For instance, typing the sequence <compose> <"> <a> will result in the
464 Umlaut ä. Or take <compose> </> <o> for a danish ø. With X it is no
465 problem to declare any key as the Compose Key, or "Multi_Key" as it is
466 called in the internal routines. Just remember that a keyboard sends only
467 keycodes, and that it is unimportant which keycode represents a given
468 character or special key.
469
470 To enable the Compose Key you have to alter your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. There
471 are other ways, like using xmodmap, but the global configuration with the
472 xorg.conf ensures that the Compose Key will be available to all users. I
473 recommend the right "Windows Key" (just one of the two on your keyboard
474 enabled should be enough):
475
476 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
477 | Code Listing 8.1: |
478 |Enable the Compose Key in the |
479 xorg.conf------------------------------------------------------------------
480 -------
481 | |
482 |# Your section in xorg.conf about the keyboard looks similar to this: |
483 |Section "InputDevice" |
484 | Identifier "Keyboard0" |
485 | Driver "kbd" |
486 | Option "XkbModel" "pc104" |
487 | Option "XkbLayout" "us" |
488 | Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" |
489 |EndSection |
490 | |
491 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
492
493 After you restart X, you should be able to type the characters in the
494 example above. A complete list of available Compose Key characters with
495 their description can be found in the file
496 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/<your_character_enocding>/Compose.
