Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm hoping someone on the list can help me out with a problem I'm having |
| 4 |
(or at least point me in the direction of a RTFM). I've got my laptop |
| 5 |
set up as a local rsync and source mirror for a PC at work and another |
| 6 |
laptop at home. The laptop has /usr/portage shared anonymously, so |
| 7 |
whatever distfile it's already downloaded, the other computers don't |
| 8 |
need to go out to the Internet to retrieve. This has been working for a |
| 9 |
little while now. However, recently I noticed that one of the local |
| 10 |
computers were going out to the Internet to retrieve the newest |
| 11 |
gentoo-sources, which I knew had already been downloaded on the mirror |
| 12 |
laptop. Looking further, I found that when I try to log into the laptop |
| 13 |
as anonymous, I get a 530-Unable to set anonymous privileges error, and |
| 14 |
in /var/log/messages, I see: ftp: Directory /usr/portage/ is not accessible. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This setup used to work for a while, but looking back through |
| 17 |
/var/log/messages, it appears this started on 1 Sept. Going back |
| 18 |
through my emerge.log shows that the previous day, Portage had updated |
| 19 |
wine, and installed bar. Then later that day, I must have changed a USE |
| 20 |
flag for hal, because then I see policykit being installed, then hal |
| 21 |
being rebuilt. Then I was trying to help a friend get data off a disk |
| 22 |
their kids had wiped, so I installed testdisk, gpart and gparted. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The next day sees iputils, apache-tools, apache, docbook-xml-dtd-4.2, |
| 25 |
and deskbar-applet being updated. I was having troubles with the |
| 26 |
upgrade-then-downgrade of dhcpcd and upgrade of gentoo-sources-2.6.35, |
| 27 |
so later that day saw me unmasking dhcpcd-5.2.7 and re-upgrading that. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
As far as I can tell, ProFTPd should be trying to access that folder |
| 30 |
with the ftp account that Portage set up for me. And permissions on |
| 31 |
both /usr and /usr/portage give r-x to other. So if I understand |
| 32 |
correctly, it *should* be able to access that folder, at least |
| 33 |
read-only. Changing it to rwx for other doesn't fix it, either. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Attached is my proftpd.conf, as configured according to |
| 36 |
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Setup_local_Portage_and_Package_Mirror |
| 37 |
(and which had been worked previously). Any help would be appreciated. |
